I like moisturizing products, so I thought it might be a little too refreshing, but when I tried it, it was fine.
I've always used tube-type face washes, but this time I was attracted by the look of IPSA and thought I could definitely go wrong! So I bought it. As expected, it leaves my skin feeling refreshed without feeling tight. I almost forget to apply lotion. It lathers well and feels good. It's big, so I don't think it will run out easily, but I might buy it again.
I've been using IPSA products for quite some time, but I've never chosen to use solid soap because it seemed like such a hassle to maintain. However, recently I've been having persistent breakouts, especially around my chin, so I decided to rethink my face washing routine and bought this product for the first time. It looks beautiful, which makes me want to try harder. I keep it in a MUJI soap case and store it in the dressing room so it can dry after use. The tube type is easier, but I'm going to use it for a while to see how it goes.
I bought it because it looks cute. I know IPSA for their lotion, but this soap is also a great product. The ocean-like scent is a bit of a concern, but it's not too strong. It lathers up quickly, so I think I can use it even when I'm pressed for time. Until now, I'd been buying commercially available tube-type acne treatments. I have dry skin on the inside, but I don't like the feeling of my face becoming moisturized on the surface, so unless it's refreshing and tight, I don't feel like I've washed my face. I thought Marine Cake might be too moisturizing after washing, but it doesn't dry out my skin even if I wait too long before my next skincare routine! It's smooth and prevents it from drying out. It's large, so it doesn't dissolve even if you leave it in the bathroom, making it a good value for the money. I'll buy it again.
It leaves your skin feeling refreshed after washing, and I thought it might make your skin feel a little tight, but as I continued to use it, that didn't happen and it provided a nice support. Another plus point is that it lathers easily.
