To quickly note, I received this for a small fee from 0.8 Liter for my honest review, this post is not sponsored.
This cleanser contains 160 ml (5.41 oz) and it has a slightly herbal essential oil scent.
The cleansing foam is in a hard plastic bottle with a pump.
It pumps it out into a really soft, fluffy foam.
The foam is really nice and soft and cleans the skin very nice without any residue or drying out the skin.
Recommended use is to soak your face thoroughly with water. Pump out an appropriate amount of foam and it over all your skin. Rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water to avoid bubbles. It easily removes basic skincare and sunscreen without any residue. After using, unfortunately, I have been having a major reaction to this cleanser. I'm allergic to one of the ingredients in this cleanser which is my own fault for not looking into the ingredients before trying it. I usually do a cursory look at the ingredients, but I slipped up this time. This cleanser also has a pretty strong fragrance which is natural but I think it could irritate people with sensitive skin. Other than that, it's very gentle and it doesn't strip the skin or dry it out and it rinses off cleanly with no residue. The packaging is nice and the pump is very convenient. The ingredients are mostly good except for some irritants at the end of the list. It didn't irritate my eyes or anything so I think for most people this would be a good cleanser. I'd recommend this to people with dry skin or possibly sensitive skin, really at your own risk and people who like cleansers with minimal ingredients.
What I like: this cleanser has nice and minimal ingredients and is not drying and doesn't leave any residue and rinses off cleanly. The packaging is nice and the pump is really convenient to use. The quality of the cleanser is also really high and I think many people would really enjoy this. What I don't like: I'm personally allergic to an ingredient in here and my skin is a little sensitive. Also, it does have a noticeable fragrance.
