As I always mentioned in my previous posts, I have an oily, recently turns into combination skin with some dry patches - now is getting better, only sometimes when I am dehydrated the dry patches occurs again.


So when it comes to the faces that are both dry and oily, it takes a clever cleanser to balance the two. This gentle, frothy face wash carefully does both jobs without cancelling each other out.

Personally, I hated this cleanser at first when I was given this as gift with purchase at The Cosmetics Company Store, Johor Premium Outlet. The texture is weirdly creamy but a little goes a long way with this stuff. Seriously, you don't need much to wash the entire face. The scent is like toothpaste - like a herbal toothpaste I must say. Even the texture is kind of dry toothpaste. After rinsing off, my face feels a bit tacky and not 'clean'. For the price of full size, I think it is a bit pricey.


Not a great review on this stuff - I know. But despite all the negatives I mentioned earlier, this did not break me out so far. But I have to mention, I need to apply moisturizer as soon as I was my face with this - especially when I am at the air-conditioned room i.e. office. Despite the tacky and not so clean feeling, I feel my skin a bit drying after using this. I am so sure it is not because of the air-conditioned makes my skin a little drying, but this stuff itself.

Only a pea sized to form this foam

But things act differently at non air-conditioned room - the dry spots on my face are way less dry and the oily area are not as oily as usual. I believe this is good for those with oily combination skin that is prone to acne.

A friend of mine kinda like the smell of this cleanser and testing out this to her dry to normal skin, she found out this cleanser is too drying for her. I even noticed her skin is dehydrated, flaky and the dry patches seems to be all over her face - I suspected, must be the cleanser is the culprit!

Here are the full ingredients list,

Water, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Water, Potassium Myristate, Glycerin, Potassium Behenate, Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, Potassium Palmitate, Potassium Laurate, Potassium Stearate, Anthemis Nobilis (Chamomile) Flower Oil, Mentha Viridis (Spearmint) Leaf Oil, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Flower Oil, Linalool, PEG-3 Distearate, Tourmaline, Laminaria Saccharina Extract, Amorphophallus Konjac Root Powder, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Cetearyl Alcohol, Polyquaternium-7, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone

The only good thing about this cleanser is it does not contains any parabens, sulfates or phthalates.

I am still using this alternately with my usual cleaner - probably using this once or twice in a week and I don't think I am going to get the full size after finishing this. The finish result of using this simply not my cup of tea. Personally I think, a good cleanser shouldn't be drying.
