What it is

It also produces a fine lather that reduces the burden on the skin, thoroughly removing dirt and atmospheric pollutants. Fragrance-free, colorant-free, paraben-free, mineral oil-free, and alcohol (ethyl alcohol)-free.

I ran out of my usual Cow Brand foaming face wash and found some samples I had saved up. I'd been interested in this product, which is supposed to be good for sensitive skin and atopic dermatitis, but I hadn't used it at all yet. Before opening the Exbarria sample, I decided to check out everyone's reviews, and I noticed some people had a strong scent, so I was a little hesitant to use it. It lathers well, but the scent is the important thing... I don't really mind it, so I thought it was fine, but when I rinsed it off, my skin felt squishy. Maybe it was because I had lathered it all the way up to my hairline, but it felt squishy there too. My skin didn't feel tight after washing, but that squishing bothers me, so I don't think I'll buy the actual product right now. I didn't have any dryness the next day, so what's that squishing?
In May, I had a skin diagnosis at a store staffed by a YouTuber, and this was recommended to me, so I bought it along with a makeup remover. It creates a fluffy lather when I use a 100-yen store whisk. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized after washing. My skin used to feel dry after a bath, but now it keeps that feeling until I apply lotion. In fact, the moisture level and texture of my skin were improved during the in-store skin diagnosis! Since makeup removers from the same series often don't remove eye makeup or even base makeup, I've decided to use this one on days when I only wear sunscreen, and I'll be repurchasing just this one.
I bought this when my skin was rough and it's gentle on the skin and removes dirt thoroughly, so I'm very happy with it (^ω^) I wouldn't use it when my skin isn't rough, but right now it's really dry and stings so it's a lifesaver!
I received a sample from an acquaintance. Even a small amount creates a fine lather and has no scent. (Maybe it's a bit like paint? lol) It leaves your skin feeling gentle. I don't have particularly sensitive skin, so I felt it was a little lacking.
