Kuan Yuan Lian Loofah Essence Hydrating Cleanser

January 7, 2010 Paris B 8 Comments

Come, let me share something unusual with you, that I found myself liking. A gel cleanser that does not lather yet cleans well without drying and works too as a mask. Intrigued?

Introducing the Kuan Yuan Lian Loofah Essence Hydrating Cleanser available at Pattybelle (no longer in business). When I first received it, I thought it was a tube of aloe vera gel. It certainly looks and smells that way.

The problem with the label is that it is mostly in Chinese so if you can’t read Chinese, there is nothing to tell you what this item is or how to use it. Pattybelle has translated it into English on her site but essentially, here’s how I use the Kuan Yuan Lian Loofah Essence cleanser:-

  • Use it as a gel cleanser – pour a little into your palms, spread on wet face and rinse off. It does not lather up, but it does clean your skin and importantly does not leave it feeling dry.
  • Use it as a moisture mask – Apply a thick layer all over your face, leave on for about 10 minutes then rinse off. I do this in the shower sometimes. My skin feels light and cool when I use it this way.

To my surprise, I rather liked this gel cleanser. I was a bit of a sceptic initially. The gel goes on your skin and cools it down a treat if you leave it on a little while. There is a slight tingling feel around my lips but its not unpleasant and it is otherwise very mild.

I do find the fragrance rather strong. If it was lighter or had no fragrance at all, I think it would be preferable. Still, I experienced no problems with this cleanser and I like how my skin feels after using it. Clean and moisturized and cool.

This cleansing gel is supposed to be made from loofah extract – yes the very same loofah fruit you take into the shower with you. The Loofah is supposed to have moisturizing effects and has deep cleansing properties.

Ingredients: Distilled water, Glycerine, Loofah Extract, Camomile, Extract Carboner 940, Triethanolamine Methyl, Paraben Fragrance.

A 150ml bottle retails for RM28 at Pattybelle and Sasa.com the product is from Taiwan. Here’s the link to the Kuan Yuan Lian site for those who can read Chinese.

Pros: Affordable, Mild cleansing, Cooling and moisturizing on the skin

Cons: Label has no directions in English, opening is too large – there should be a stopper

Have you heard of Kuan Yuan Lian products before? From online noise, it appears that this brand is very well received in Taiwan.

The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of The pup & I celebrating birthdays within weeks of each other 😁 Kiddo turns 4 and celebrated with specially made doggy burgers & fries.

I got him in early Jan 2020 so he’s only been with me less than 4 years but it’s been incredible to see how he’s grown (or not), and how he’s slowly mellowed with age (or not!). He’s still that crazy rambunctious puppy who terrorises other dogs, begging them to play and barking at them when they don’t. He’s a greedy fella who makes me think I’m the greatest chef in the world (in the dog world maybe!) and he still gets crazy eyes when excited. 

But I’ve also found more white hair around his eyes and he sleeps in more and later now. He doesn’t even get up early enough to jump onto the bed as he used to 😔

4 years is practically adulthood in doggy years and I’m thankful that we have the opportunity to spend lots of time together even if I bemoan having to bring him everywhere I go. 

Happy 4 years boy ❤️

We just started retailing our dog treats @quandogtreats at our first offline outpost! We’re available exclusively at Lex’s Patio Pantry @lexpatiopantry, a brand new cosy spot in the heart of Bangsar. 

Housed at the base of Kapas Condominium, (enter from Jalan Penaga), you’ll find the brand new Lex’s Patio Pantry, a curated grocer with pantry staples and a little cafe set up offering breakfast and lunch. It’s a lovely spot that is quiet and green, filled with all sorts of wonderful goodies, and is best of all, pet friendly! Scroll to the end to see what my efforts are like trying to get a photo with the kid 😒

This explains my lack of updates generally. Been very busy preparing for this, and amazingly enough, moving operations again! It’s a long sucky story but it might have just turned out for the best for us so as they say about windows opening and closing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow and look for the open window when doors close.

P/s yes I also need a haircut - badly 😅
