REVIEW: THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam

Yipeeee! I am again doing another review for this month. 
*I just hope I can continue on doing reviews regularly ^_^



I bought a 4 facial foams last month. 3 of them from The Face Shop. 

The Face Shop Whitening Rice Water, Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam, The Face Shop Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam and The Face Shop Acne Solution Cleansing

Being a sucker for anything that "prevents pimples and keeps oily skin at bay", I've decided to purchase these babies. 


Today, I'll do a quick review of THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam. 


PRODUCT: THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam
Content: 170 ml / 5.74 fl. oz. 
Price: PhP 331 (from Han Ryu) 

Description: 
Here's what the description in the bottle says: 

Deep-cleansing facial foam with Black Formula containing charcoal thoroughly cleanses impurities, makeups residue and sebum inside pores with its maximum absorption and rich foam. 

Directions for use: 

Dispense an adequate amount and lather fully with water. Massage gently onto the entire face and rinse thoroughly with clean water

I just love that this product has an English translation for the description, directions for use and even the ingredients. 

Compared to most facial foams/wash, this one's darker (it should be because it says CHARCOAL on the label).
It contains small 'beads' which I think is for the 'exfoliating' part or just to remove dirt. 
It really does not contain a lot of 'beads' so it won't really irritate or hurt your skin once you use it. 


SCENT: When I first tried this one, I felt a bit nostalgic. I dunno but the scent really reminds of something. It took me days to realize that it smells like the original POND's Facial Wash! If you grew up during my time, Pond's Facial Wash was like the MOTHER OF ALL FACIAL WASH. Everyone in highschool had a bottle / tube of Pond's Facial Wash and it was like everyone's using it during our lunch breaks. These days, Pond's has different kinds of facial wash/foams to choose from.
I haven't used Pond's for a long time and highschool for me was really FUN so I am so sorry for being so nostalgic. :) 

Ooopsie! Sorry for my dry hands. ^_^ 

Once you lather it, it creates a gentle foam. The scent is not too strong too. 


THE TEST: 
Here's how I do my tests on facial foams/wash.
Since I ALWAYS use BB creams + Foundation / Face Powder, I literally have a second layer of skin that I have to shed off before I sleep. 
So I always use facial cream/cleanser to remove those nasty BB Cream + Foundation/Face Powder. A good facial foam/wash for me is when it can remove all those residues without the use of any makeup remover, facial cleansers etc. 


Without any use of facial cleansers, makeup remover etc., I used the THE FACE SHOP Charcoal Phyto Powder in Cleansing Foam  

I used Etude House AC Clinic Daily Toner and here's what I got: 

Sorry because the shot is a bit blurry. 

Here's my verdict: 
1. It is definitely a DEEP CLEANSING FOAM. It removed traces of BB cream and Foundation. 

2. Well this one is definitely good for those with 'super' oily skin. After using, your skin will feel a little 'tight' and somehow dry. I dunno what will be the effect for those with dry skin though. 

3. Unfortunately, during my first few days of using this, I got breakouts. Not major ones but I had zits. :(  That's for my skin. I guess my skin was still adjusting to the ingredients of this product. I still use this one but I guess this will be my last. 



For Deep Cleansing - CHECK!
Removes makeup - CHECK! 
Perfect for those who has oily skin - CHECK!
*But since I had breakouts during my first few days of using this, I might pass on this next time :) 

REVIEW: THE FACE SHOP Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

I am quite stress for the last two months. 

My life has been in a drama these past few weeks so I am emotionally stressed. :(
So most of my zits came out and I quite forgot to take care of my zit-prone skin. 

Good thing I have a lot of stuff to combat these zits. Aside from BB Cream, I am literally addicted to facial wash. Yeah. You read it right. FACIAL WASH. 

I think this addiction all stemmed from my experience in highschool and college (here's another drama). I think I've mentioned before that my acne really lowered down my self-esteem so now that I am working and earning, I do spend a lot with skin care.


Anyways, here's a quick review of my current favorite facial wash: THE FACE SHOP Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

Product name: THE FACE SHOP Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

(*I felt something is wrong with how they named the product. I think it should be: CLEAN FACE ACNE SOLUTION CLEANSING FOAM. Naah! never mind the name. I am in LOVE with this product - oops!) 

Content: 150ml /5.07 fl.oz

Price: PhP 399 (I got this again from Han Ryu)

*** (Okay, lemme clear this again that I am NOT being paid by the seller to promote her online store. I've been buying from her ever since and I always indicate in my blog where I bought my items, whether from Han Ryu or from other stores. It's just that I always buy from her because she is so nice and the products are really affordable)

REVIEW: Etude House BAKING POWDER Pore Cleansing Foam

I admit that I am really lazy. Freakin' lazy. Although I religiously use cold creams and cleansing creams, there are times that I even feel so lazy to wash my face. 

Good thing I have found this facial wash that I can use every time I am having one of those 'lazy-day' moments. 

******************************************

I was so glad when I found out that Etude House opened a branch in Robinson's Metroeast (It's just a 10minute-ride from our house without traffic). 

I immediately purchased one of my favorite Etude House item - Etude House BAKING POWDER Pore Cleansing Foam. 

- I know that baking powder is used for baking (obviously), cleaning stuff like tiles and it's also used as a substitute for toothpaste but I never heard that it can also be used as a facial cleanser. Nevertheless, I tried this.  

I tried this last year but I was too lazy to update my blogs (or even to write a blog). So here is my late review of this amazing facial wash. 

******************************************

THE PRODUCT: 

-This is an Etude House Cleansing Foam,  

- (I think Etude House has a complete line for this 'Baking Powder - brand')

- SIZE: I think it comes in a 30 ml trial size. I got the full size which is 170ml. 
- PRICE: PhP 380 

This is actually quite big (and heavy too!) 

-I forgot to take a picture of the back part. The product description and directions are written in Korean but there is a very small (quite 'microscopic') English translation.

- This is the description according to Etude House's website (Philippines):

 170ml Foam cleanser exfoliates with micro scrub beads to remove oil, dirt and residues for a pore deep cleanse.

 Etude House Baking Powder Pore Cleansing Foam is formulated with baking powder and to gently exfoliate skin and penetrate pores for a thorough cleanse.

How to use:  

 Apply to wet face and lather.

Massage thoroughly and rinse with warm water.

Infront

- A small amount of this cleanser is enough to create a a lather that will cleanse your face (and for cheapskates like me, that is good news ^_^).

- SCENT: It has this not-so-strong lime scent. (don't worry, the scent is not too strong and it disappears once you have already created a lather. 

- This facial wash is not that smooth and you will feel a bit of some rough stuff (but that 'rough stuff' I am talking about will not hurt your face. Actually, it's relaxing once you rub it on your face.) 



MY TEST: 
- One thing I look for in a facial cleanser/foam is its ability to cleanse my face. The definition of 'cleanse' in MY vocabulary means removing all the dirt, bb creams and makeup on my face.

- This is how I test my facial cleansers/foams. When I get home from work, I do not use a cleansing cream or cold creams to remove any makeup on my face. I immediately use the facial cleanser / foam that I would test. 
- Then I use a facial toner/cleanser to check if there are any residue/s left. 

- This is MY TEST. 

-For this test, I used a huge cotton ball and applied a facial cleanser/toner. Using only one side of the cotton ball, I wiped my face for five times. If you will notice, the cotton looks clean and no traces of makeup or bb cream can be seen. 



WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS: 
- First, I love its cleansing power! Not even traces of stubborn BB cream! (and I really love it). 
- I love that I only need a small amount to wash my whole face. It creates a rich lather that's enough to wash the face. (HOORAY!)
- Another thing, I did not experience any breakouts. 
- This is a good facial wash for OILY skin. 
- As a pore cleansing foam? - IT DID A GOOD JOB in cleansing my huge pores. About my blackheads (on my nose), I can still see some traces of blackheads but they're tolerable :) 


WILL I BUY THIS AGAIN:
-Of COURSE! I am officially in-love with this :)
