| based on CosDNA |
Based on CosDNA, this product contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLS) which can be a very bad ingredient for those who have a sensitive skin.
But it also contains Glycerin, one of the hydrating ingredients that can increase the amount of water in your skin cells so that your skin wouldn't get dehydrated and your skin won't creates more oil to make up for the missing water which can lead to breakout, irritation and dry patches.
As for me, I would really avoid SLS and any other harmful ingredient that can cause acne or comedogenic because I obviously don't want to trigger all those whiteheads of mine to pop out and say hi to me hahaha.
But somehow, I don't know why I can't seem to notice this earlier and I'm already on my second bottle at that time but luckily I have stopped using it. Pheww!
How To Use?
✿ Wet your hands and squeeze a small amount onto your palm.
✿ Lather with water and massage gently in circular motion onto your wet face.
✿ Rinse thoroughly with water.
Does It Work for Me?
At first I thought that I have finally found the almost perfect cleanser through my first shot for my twice a day usage and I'm already on my second bottle at that time but I was wrong. As I said earlier, I didn't notice that this product contains SLS and no wonder that my skin felt tight after washing my face. The kind of tight feeling that makes me uncomfortable but not that much and due to that reason, I just shrug it off and continue using it anyway hahaha. But luckily, I stop using this product after using it's second bottle after I finally gave up on this (I'm sorry) and I want to try another cleanser that won't make my skin tight after my washing routine. I'm really lucky that I don't experienced any breakout or having another 'guests' on my face after using this but I just don't really like the tight feeling. And for additional info, this product doesn't have any weird smell or anything so if you want to try this product, you don't have to worry about the smell.
Pros :
✿ Long lasting (mine last up to over 2 months)
✿ Did not breaking me out
✿ Did not have any weird smell
✿ Travel-friendly
✿ Affordable
✿ Low pH
Cons :
✿ Made my skin feel tight
Final Rating :
1 : BAD!
[Having a terrible breakout!]
2: MEH!
[Doesn't work for me and/or having a slight issues]
3 : OKAY!
[Product was great and work well but still lack of something]
4 : GREAT!
[A really great product that works well for me but has a potential for me to cheat]
5 : AMAHZING!
[A complete HOLY GRAIL product and I will devoted myself to you till the end of my life!]
Where To Buy?
✿ Buy it from the drugstores all around Malaysia such as Watsons/Guardian/etc
Repurchase/Recommended?
Repurchase : NOPE
Recommended : Well honestly I don't really have the guts to recommend products for people out there since YMMV and this product contains SLS which can be a harmful ingredient for those with sensitive skin and I think everyone should avoid it but if you're totally confident with this product with a belief that this won't make you breakout, then that's okay! :)
