Words From Our Community
Honest reviews from skincare lovers around the globe.
I've been using DUO for a long time, but this is the first time I've bought the yellow one (I usually use the green one). Compared to the green one, it leaves my skin feeling more refreshed after washing. I like the scent, so I think I'll buy this one again!
I used DUO's cleanser on days when I wore heavy makeup, but one day I tried removing it with my usual gel, and I noticed clogged pores and rough skin. So, on days when I wear heavy makeup, I stick to DUO's cleanser. I have sensitive, dry skin, so I prefer gel cleansers, but I only use the balm once or twice a week. I also use the steamer while rubbing it in, which removes makeup without any friction, so it doesn't feel like a burden on my skin. I've tried almost everything in this series, and this time I was concerned about clogged pores, so I used this one specifically for pores. Personally, I don't notice any difference between the products in the series, and I like them all. I don't notice any tightness after cleansing, and my skin feels refreshed, saying goodbye to dark spots and roughness.
I really like the texture, which melts easily and spreads well, but... it's quite difficult to spread the balm all over my face. If there's even a small area where there's no balm, it can cause friction and put a strain on my skin. To avoid this, you need a fairly large amount, which seems like a poor value for the money. I have no complaints about the cleansing function, but it's neither good nor bad. The scent is very soothing, and the texture isn't bad, so it's a shame.
I took an appropriate amount and blended it into my makeup. It spreads easily and blends easily into my makeup. I was pleased that it removed my makeup so smoothly. I was happy that my skin felt moisturized after washing. The citrus scent was soothing.
I usually use the black one, but I started to notice blackheads on my nose, rather than blackheads, so I switched to this one. Like the black one, it has a soft texture and spreads easily, and I like how it visibly removes dirt when I apply it in a circular motion.
