This is the best way to remove blackheads from your face! If you rub too hard, it will turn red and itchy, so it's best to be gentle.
I bought this hoping to remove dark spots, but I didn't see much of an effect. I was looking forward to the warming sensation, but compared to Manara, I didn't feel that as much. It took a while to melt in my hands, and it didn't remove my makeup completely, so I won't be buying it again.
It has a firm texture, but it warms up quickly. My family has been asking me recently if my skin has gotten whiter, and I think it's because of this cleanser. My skin feels moisturized after washing, so it doesn't dry out. I used to use clay packs, but after using this cleanser, I don't need them anymore. I also like the low price.
I bought the trial version. It's a black balm and is quite hard, but when you put it in your hands it melts with body heat and becomes easy to use. When you put it on your skin it feels soothing and warm. To remove your makeup, it might be better to use a point makeup remover, but if you use light point makeup this product alone will remove it properly. It's a warm type so I would like to use it again in the winter. For those who like warm types, I think it's easy to use and has good value for money at a price.
It uses the limited edition Yuzu. It's not black, but it's hot, so I guess I can leave a review here. The Yuzu scent is soothing, but it doesn't have a warming feeling. It removes Fasio mascara, doesn't require double cleansing, and doesn't dry out my skin. Cleansing balms are great! I thought, but they clog my pores... and I got black spots on my nose. I love Softymo La Cesca's hot cleansing gel, and a few years ago I stocked up on the limited edition Yuzu, along with Softymo's Yuzu oil and milk, and last year I used Softymo's Osmanthus oil. I've used other cheaper cleansers and never noticed any issues with my pores. It's a shame.
