I had empty 1 tube already, and bought 2nd tube. Feel soft & smooth after cleansing. A bit drying. I guess most suitable for oily skin. Encourage to use this foam just for breakouts phase as remedy. As the active ingredients are exfoliants may use this as exfoliator 1-2 per week.
My skin type: combination, acne, acne scars (PIE), dull and dehydrated
Texture and smell: soapy and minty
Method of usage: twice a day
Effects: instant brightening, clean face as it removes the face oil
Skin reaction: no purging
Started using this when i had the worse breakout and it actually did its job. My skin got better before i went to see dermatologist. When i used this during my worse acne breakout, it somehow exfoliate the dead skin off after i use it with the toner (same brand line). Ive been purchasing it almost over 3 years and although there are few phase when i changed my face wash, but i kept on coming back to it as my face didnt react well with other face wash.
However now, i feel like it literally doesnt do much. It does not slows down my acne like it used to and does not really reduces the redness on my face. So im kinda stopping this face wash now to try out another brand
But overall, its a good face wash but i dont know why it barely works on me now :(
Its really great for oily acne prone skin to use in the morning, where you wake up with pools of oils (enough to make yourself an egg fried rice) but to use it twice a day, it may be stripping.
The first time i used it was after an oil cleanser and it was really drying. I could feel my pores pulling and redness assure. So probably not recomended for twice washing.
However, it did do as it describes! It is very gentle in stripping your morning oils away, leaving your skin not dry and oil free. My face significantly brightens after using it every morning but the glow doesnt last haha.
As for acne, i trust the toner of the same line (somebymi aha bha pha miracle 30 days toner) more than the cleanser, but it does aid in it somewhat. The toner shows more of promising results.
Hydrating? mmm. Not so. but it's alright as the main target of this cleanser was deeping cleaning and acne care. And for a really cheap price, it lasted up to 6+ months (first used twice a day for 5 months, now once a day)
alcohol-free, essential-oil free and fragrance-free so sensitive skin individuals with acne prone oily skins can give this a try!
Would i repurchase? hmmm. I feel thats better options out there but so this is in the grey zone to fall back to.
