Review: Skincare: Sukin Organics Foaming Facial Cleanser

I got my sister to pick up the Sukin Organics Foaming Facial Cleanser on one of her trips to Singapore. Sukin Organics is only found in certain Watsons in Singapore so she had to traipse all over the place looking for it, much to my gratitude!

The Sukin Organics Foaming Facial Cleanser comes in a plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. The packaging looks very “organic” with its brown container and off white label.

This foaming facial cleanser is supposed to be very gentle with no SLS or parabens in its formula. The ingredient list is also mostly plant based so I reckon it will satisfy all vegans.

This foaming cleanser is in a gel form and pumps out clear. One pump is about enough to wash the face. I must say however, that the texture takes some getting used to if you are used to using foaming facial cleansers from other brands.

Review: Skincare: L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening Foaming Cleanser

I got my L’Occitane Immortelle Foaming Cleanser about 2 months ago and have been using it for about that length of time. I usually try to use skincare for a longer time to get a better gauge of it before I can give a proper review.

So, what do I think about my first L’Occitane skincare purchase?

I surprisingly, rather like it!

I like the packaging and the idea of using a foaming cleanser. The packaging comes in a translucent blue plastic bottle with a pump dispenser. The translucent body makes it easy to see how much of the product is left, which I like. At least I know when I should be repurchasing, rather than waiting till there’s nothing left and then getting a horrid surprise in the morning.

L’Occitane Immortelle Foaming Cleanser

When I want reviews and recommendations for skincare and sunscreen, one of the sites I turn to is Viva Woman. Sesame who runs it, is a well of information and does her research. So anyway, my foaming cleanser that I use for the mornings is on its last pump and is discontinued. So, I thought to try something new.

I remembered that Sesame had once written about a L’Occitane brightening foaming cleanser that she liked. So, having some spare cash available, I thought to give this one a shot.

I’ve never used L’Occitane facial products before so this will be a first! My purchase is coming from StrawberryNET.com at US$28 a bottle; so I’ll have to update in a week or two.

It’d better be good eh?

Have a good weekend all!

PRICE UPDATE: I called the L’Occitane store in KLCC. This Immortelle Foaming cleanser is retailing here at RM103 (US$32+ at an exchange rate of 3.2) So I guess the answer to this question is - its cheaper at  StrawberryNET.com!

Stay beautiful,

Review: Skin Care: Kanebo Impress Creamy Soap

Don’t be misled by the name. The Kanebo Impress Creamy Soap is not soap, although it is a creamy facial cleanser. This is the second step in double-cleansing and follows the Impress Cleansing Cream.

The cream feels light and it spreads well and lathers up well. There is a light fragrance which doesn’t bother me. I found that after washing my face, my skin felt smooth and soft, but a little tight. It was a bit of a strange feeling after the suppleness that the Cleansing Cream left me with.

Other than the nice creamy texture that feels lovely and the fact that it rinses off well, I don’t think I’ll be spending too much money on this cleanser. I personally find that most cheaper cleansers work as well for me.

This Impress Creamy Soap retails for RM168 at Kanebo Salons and Kanebo counters at Isetan department store only for now (Malaysia).

Pros: Nice creamy texture, cleans skin well

Cons: Skin felt a little tight, Expensive
