Before I knew it, I'd been using it ever since it was released. (I mainly use it on my chin and nose. The cotton pads are Benefique blue.) It has a refreshing texture. It leaves my skin smooth and doesn't dry out or feel rough. (I have dry skin, but I've been able to use it without any problems.) It's a hypoallergenic formula, so I don't experience any stinging sensations. Sometimes they have a limited-edition extra size available, so I buy it in bulk.
Maybe it removes dullness, but the cotton pad is slightly dirty after wiping. It's a watery type of wipe. Personally, I prefer thicker types, but this one has a refreshing feeling, so I use it in the morning. I usually buy it at KOSE, but they had a kit on Beauty Day, so I got it at a good price.
I've been using this product for so long I'm not sure how many times I've bought it. It's a gentle wipe, so I'm glad I have it! I often use it in the morning.
I've used it a few times and it's very comfortable to use.
It's been a while since I last purchased a cleansing lotion. This is my first time using this product, and it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and polished. I also feel like the next makeup product I use absorbs better. The pump design makes it easy to dispense the right amount, which is great. I've used a variety of cleansing lotions, from budget brands to department store brands, and I like this one too. I've only just started using it, so I'd like to continue using it and consider whether I'll buy it again.
