This product is another item from my Korean haul. I always buy face cleansers, lip balms and face masks as a part of my Korean makeup haul. I do not hoard face cleansers the way I hoard mascaras or lip balms but I do love to try out new facial cleansers and keep a pile of my all-time favourite cleanser and face wash. Like I have mentioned before, I have certain set expectations from a good facial cleanser. It should lather decently, clean my face well and should not leave my face dry and stretchy, especially since my skin is very dry, to begin with. I have tried a few drugstore face cleansers but they were very drying for me so I am on the look out for non-drying, affordable formulas.
Price: $2.60
Product Description:
The cleansing foam effectively removes impurities from skin with its dense, rich foam containing Vitamin C. It also revitalizes skin by providing vitamin moisture to skin.
How to Use:
Use when washing the face. Dispense an appropriate amount onto the palm and fully lather while adding water little by little. Gently cleanse the face in a massaging motion, and then wash off with lukewarm water.
My Experience with Etude House DIY Travel O-LE-MONG One Shot Fresh Moisture Foam:
The product comes in a white and yellow tube packaging. It can stand upright on my bathroom cabinet. The size of the tube is 50ml and has a twist cap to dispense the product when the tube is squeezed. The product is dispensed in the form of a foam, which lathers up when mixed with water.
Most Korean products don’t have a description or product details on the tube or on the website but the ones from Etude House do offer some brief description on their American website. The ingredient list is also available in detail. Most of the Korean skincare products I buy are gentle on my skin and do not harm my skin.
This cleanser has been kind to my skin. I have been trying this face wash once daily, for a week now and it was satisfying to note that it doesn’t dry out my skin or give that stretchy feeling to the skin as most face washes do. It lathers well with water, which is perhaps because its third ingredient sounds like a surfactant.
I do like this cleanser but I do not recommend it to those who use face wash to remove their makeup instead of using a good makeup remover. It cleans a makeup-free face really well but does not remove makeup well or leave face squeaky clean as I desire from a face wash. So, either use it after a good makeup remover or on days when makeup is not applied.
This product has a citrus fragrance, like a real, freshly squeezed lemon and it is in tone with the claim of this product – that it contains vitamin C. It lathers well and does not dry my skin so overall it is satisfactory.
