Skincare Review: Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

This will be a short review as it's basically a first impression of a brand that I recently got to try, Soap and Glory. Nisa and Angela has been raving about this in one of our chat session and since I was in KK Imago Sephora and found a travel-size of this item near a cashier for I think RM33? It's a bit expensive for a travel-sized body scrub but I was there for a shopping spree, why the heck not.

Sorry for the blurred shot, I didn't realize it because I was batch editing it and when I found out, I already put the scrub in the bathroom.

This stuff contains shea butter, peach seed and sea salt which is good for your skin. It tastes salty and soapy so don't try to eat it! LOL, yes I did taste it, but that will be the first and last time, only because it smells amazing, I wish there's a perfume version of this scent.

When I scrub, I usually like to scrub my whole body, I scrub once a week, with this 50ml, I manage to use up 1/2 of the product for my whole body and kinda sad about it as I don't have an easy access to repurchase this, but I really love how abrasive it is. some says it's too gentle but I find it abrasive and the sea salt really help scrubs off any dead skin that might reside, leaving behind not a raw, scrubbed-off skin but a very moisturized and soft supple skin, I think with the help of shea butter.

Will I repurchase? Yes but only for a once in a while thing, because this stuff is expensive and I usually buy the Indonesian brands that costs me less than $5

Skincare Review : Good Virtues Co Glowing & Goodness Brightening Day Cream

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I'm going to introduce you to an almost perfect moisturizer-slash-primer from the Good Virtues Co skincare range. I actually was able to obtain all but one from the skincare range which is their CC cream, I'm still on the fence on purchasing their CC cream as Nisah from thebeautyandfrogs is kind enough to give me a small sample of her CC cream. I find them to be very slippery.

But let's move on to the review for this day cream, shall we?

Let's just stop for a moment and indulge into how beautiful their packaging is, I think at the price point their selling, I bought it at a promotional price $7.90, I haven't went to the nearest Hua Ho to see the price different but I'd assume that it won't be so far off from the promotional price.

As you can see, it comes in a pump bottle form which I like but I really hate the overall packaging as this will be a pain to open up if I want to scoop up the leftovers when it's finished.

It's a lightweight cream when applied, it feels like your face is drinking up the cream, I just don't know how to  explain it but this here is perfect for normal to oily skin. I'm not sure if dry skin would be able to use it because to me this product is hydrating but not too hydrating at the same time. Sensitive skin would also be able to use this, inshaAllah, as there's no harmful ingredients and all products are infused with black seed oil or "habbatus sauda". You do find a note of the habbatus sauda in there with a nice floral powdery scent in there as well, it's not overpowering, it really is a pleasant scent.

I used this as a moisturizing primer for my foundations that has no SPF since this contains SPF30, in terms of longevity I did wear this from 8AM to 11PM every single day during my stint as a promoter for the ASEAN Consumer Fair, I do like the fact that I didn't get oily, I hardly need a touch up when wearing this over my makeup, it really is a very great moisturizer. Although by around 8PM-ish, I did start to get a little bit shiny but not greasy just a little glow showing up on my T-Zone, this says so much because although I am currently have normal-combination skin, I do get a little oily after 7-8 hours. Even without setting my makeup (you do need to make sure that your makeup is not the type to slide off) this helps make sure my makeup is going to stay put for a very long time.

Albeit the great performance of increasing my makeup longevity, if your face do sweat, i.e. you're out and about but not in an air-conditioned environment, it does cut off a few hours of the longevity, so I usually suggest to use this when you know you are going to be in air-conditioned environment the whole day.

On another note, this does brighten my dull skin after a prolong use, however, this day cream is basically for brightening, it does not help any breakouts you might already have, it doesn't calm any raging pimples, but I know for sure that it is good enough not to make your scarring worse than it usually is.

This is pretty much a repurchase for me, although I won't use this for when I know that I'll stay at home because I still have my Rosken serum to go through.

Skincare Review: Bioderma Micellar Solution

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Back with another review, I have been swamped with work that I don't really have much time to spend writing up a few posts on my blog, I haven't even been able to make any extra posts that does not concern on reviews too, I'll make sure to do it sooner. Maybe, I'm still busy with my Final Year Project :)

Anyways, I've won this particular make-up remover from SprinkleRain's giveaway. I'm so glad to be able to try this out but I am so sad at the same time. Why? Because it is such an amazing make-up remover that does not give any oily film or dries your skin after removing all of your makeup.

It felt like you're just removing it with water but with such great effectiveness. At my first use of this product, my eyes did feel sore when it was in contact, but after a while, the discomfort is gone. Although a make-up hoarder, I hardly use or buy any waterproofed makeup so I won't be able to make sure if this works with waterproof makeups.

I really love this makeup remover but I hardly use it for daily basis but when I have a full-on makeup, I'd definitely use this to remove every bits of makeup. I'm not sure when I can buy this with a very affordable price, I know L'oreal has a micellar water product but I'm not sure if it's available here in Brunei. I wish Bioderma is easily bought in Brunei :( I'd definitely repurchase this everytime.

Skincare Review : Essence My Skin Intensively Caring [Normal to Dry]

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Another short review coming your way before my laptop runs out of battery.

This is a very quick purchase I made when I had my lunch with my bestfriend as I remembered that around that time my skin was on a transition from oily to dry, so my skin was chapped all over my face. At first, I didn't realize it but when I want to touch up my makeup, I realized about the chapped skin, I panicked because I don't really have any moisturizer with me.

So I bought this cheap moisturizer and this is what I think. It has a thick creamy consistency which is why it says that this cream is intensive. I do think this is good moisturizer away from home, because it does moisturize nicely, though you have to be careful to be not too thick.

But I think this is an okay moisturizer that I'll only use for when I'm at school or office.

Skincare Review : Rosken Bio Serum

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've been on a search for a good moisturizer though one of the criteria of a good moisturizer is that they must be in a form of oil! I know it's weird but I just have this weird infatuation with facial oil as I really think they give more impact than of the cream/gel moisturizer.

I was in love with Bio-Oil's impact on moisturizing my skin, but I don't like the fact that it actually gives me breakouts that I just couldn't handle. So I've actually found a tester for this bio serum actually and I was glad that I didn't react to it, so I bought this on my next trip to Guardian.

I really LOVE this moisturizer, it does help balance the moisture on my skin. It does help with the oiliness of my skin, because it seems to behave nicely and doesn't get too oily as before. It really is light wearing this moisturizer, it's not really a heavy duty one, but it does the job. I usually use about 4-5 drops for the whole face. So a little goes a long way.

Somehow, I think this is more suitable for oily-combination skin as the texture of this oil is very light because when I have one of those dry-skin phase, it doesn't give much effect unless I blend in about 10 drops of these! But I just would feel so oily on the rest of the face that doesn't have those dry patches.

Will I repurchase? Yes, I've already used up 15% of this baby in the last month I've started using this product.

Skincare Review : Sumber Ayu Milk Body Scrub

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I'm back with another review, I think I've hardly ever review about body skincare products as I hardly ever taking care of anywhere but my face, but I guess I've changed. I still never moisturize my body, I mean, we're here for summer all year round, I hardly have any problems with drying skin.

I decided to buy an exfoliating body scrub to scrub off any dead cells around my body, I did have a body scrub, but it was so gentle that it was suitable for everyday but I don't think it really helped my skin to get rid off the dead cells.

So I went on bought this scrub, it was very cheap for $2.50 I think or was it $3.00? I can't remember but it doesn't damage your wallet. It's a very cheap product but for what it's worth, it works. I think this won't go well with people who have sensitivity to scents because, I do have headaches when I sniffed on the tub-ful of scrubs, but it isn't strong when you're scrubbing yourself, I think the scent is stronger  in the tub.

I really love this scrub as it is very exfoliating and it also brighten your skin a little, it does gets irritated if you scrub too much, so it does teach how to not excessively exfoliate. I also love the fact that it does help skim the calluses from my heels, it doesn't magically scrub the calluses away but it does help soften the calluses a little bit.

I usually use this once in every 3-4 days, depends on how my days goes, if I were out so much, definitely once in every 2-3 days. I think I'd repurchase this but maybe from a different scent.

Skincare Review : Eskinol Papaya Facial Toner

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Sorry again for disappearing on you ladies, but don't worry, InshaAllah, I'll be setting up a few reviews that could last me till June, I think. So by the time June came, I would be able to reveal you my UK haul, I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR MY STUFF TO ARRIVE!

So anyways, to some people who actually has my personal instagram, which is @dknurazimah202 would know that my laptop has come back alive! I seriously am stoked and so joyful that I didn't give up on my baby. There's still bits and bobs that I need to do, modifying this baby. So now, I have no more excuses for any sudden hiatus or anything because I know I'll be back up and blogging.

So anyways, I've actually bought this from my April haul, I've been trying this on and off lately. It came from the persuasion by Nisah that made me feel intrigued to buy this and try it out myself.

I am pretty much prepared for the fact that it could be drying for me as it contains alcohol. But I am a believer of the fact that just because it's cheap, doesn't mean it's made up of rubbish, so I gave this product the benefit of the doubt.

I apply this product on my face with a piece of cotton bud as how I usually do with my toner, this will then "deep-cleanse" my skin and relieve me of any leftover dirt from washing my face. What I like about this product is that, it gives me that refreshing feeling so that it eases up when I apply the next step, which is moisturizing.

But unfortunately, ever since I've started trying out this products, there were little bumps of those zits that contains that yellow icky pus and when I say little, it is LITTLE to the point that it takes a long time for it to recede, I don't even know how to get rid of these little zits, so I decided to stop using this toner before it gets worse.

I do realize that some of my acne scars has lighten up far too quickly, but the fact that I can't get on with this product without it giving me little bumps is very disappointing.

Skincare Review : Baviphat Indi Girl Tea Tree Catch Oil

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've had this long in my draft unattended, so while I'm busy doing my assignments and I'm having my off day today, so I might as well just update this and review this oil for you ladies.

So my skin is very prone to acne, and when I say acne, it's not those barely there spots, it's definitely those acnes where you can pop it to excrete those yellow icky pus. And I'm one of those gals who likes to pop pimples, LOL! So basically I'm not helping my skin at all, letting them be inflamed and produces those dark scars along the way. I'm currently on a skincare routine that helps eliminate these acne scars, so far so good. 

Back to this oil, I've been trying to find tea tree oil in Brunei, let's face it, it wasn't easy, although I know there's a Tea Tree Oil product at Bodyshop but I somehow never bought anything from there, except to repurchase my favorite EDP there.

The Baviphat Tea Tree Oil was on offer, I can't remember the price but it was less than $5 where as the usual price was around the $15 mark, so it was a very nice bargain at that time. It contains about 20ml worth of product, it smells like tea tree oil, I pretty much prefer them to have a dropper as it is easier than this, but this stops from spilling any wastage, so all is not lost.

I don't need to swatch it as it is just basically oil. When apply to my blemishes, it has this cooling effect, but if I do have an open wound, it would sting as how spirits does to any wounds, so I assume that they do contain some kind of alcohol at some point. 

The effect they have on pimples can be seen in a matter of 2 days, it's nice but I don't think I'll be repurchasing this as I really need something that can instantly deflate any pimples so I can actually stop myself from popping it on my free time. 

Skincare Review : Nexcare Acne Patch

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

Today is my birthday and I've reached 22! Not a big milestone for me, celebration was at the minimum, as I had 2 tests to study and 2 tutorials to finish up on that day. So, it wasn't a big deal for me and I actually, for a moment, forgot about my birthday. LOL!

I will try to remember and add in my a few pictures of my tiny birthday celebration later on. Now, we're going to review this baby. I think I've delayed the review for this particular product for more than a year already, talking about procrastinating, huh?

I've used this a lot of times and believe me when I say I purchased this more than 10 times already and that's how much I love it and how effective it is for my acne-prone skin.

Basically it's just stickers with two sizes and what it basically does is that it absorbs those white disgusting pus that comes from pimples and I usually do this to my bigger zits as to my smaller zits that could be called as spots can be removed by exfoliating.

Technically, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, it really depends on how big is your pore is at the current pimple spots. Sometimes it doesn't really work on my forehead as I can safely assume that my pores on my T-Zone isn't that big as this is more effective absorbing the pus and thus reducing the pimple size around my cheek areas. Although if I popped JUST A LITTLE BIT of my pimples on my forehead and put this onto it, it really is effective and by the next morning, the swelling will reduce itself.

It takes about literally a day and a half to actually really get rid of pimples. What I like about this acne stickers is that it creates a nice barrier so you won't be tempted to disturb your acne spots.

I've already repurchased this and I'm planning to buy the ones that has less than 15 pieces to be put into my first-aid mini bag.

Skincare Review : Smooth Egg Skin Charcoal Egg Soap

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies,

This is a backlog that I've been meaning to review this but I hardly use this for everyday use at that time but I'm currently using this everyday so, I think it's time for me to tell you girls on what I think about this product, this was a gift from a friend because this product did not work on her. At first, I thought this egg soap is for reducing blackheads, so I actually wanted to write off as a big NO to repurchase this but then I went to the packaging and it says for sebum control. 

So I had to test it out again for a few weeks with a different perspective, and here it is. 

It's very small, but don't let it get to you, I hardly made any changes to the size of the soap after a few months' of use, so this might be around $15+ but one egg soap lasts you a very long time.

What I like about this soap is that it doesn't give me any dry or tight-feeling on my skin, I still can feel that this soap did not strip my face of natural oils. As far as sebum control goes, I think it's safe to say that I actually apply a lot of product on my skin after washing my face so it does actually affect the way this soap performs, but I once was so tired and forgot to moisturize my face after washing it with this, after a few hours' nap, I found there's little oiliness on my T-zone and other parts of the face is still as fresh as it was a few hours's ago.

So this is a nice product to use, but I don't think I'd necessarily need it but I definitely would use these 2 soaps up.

Skincare Review : Clariderm Astringent in #3

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've actually been using this for 2 months now, I've had it before a few years ago and I decided to stop using it as at that time I don't know all about skincare and I thought this product is way too harsh for my skin. But as time went on, my blemishes are becoming more and more prominent, I decided that  I should actually try this again so for B$1.95, I won't be missing a lot.

I bought the Oily-skin version, and it has the number 3, there's actually the Dry Skin version and Normal Skin version, but I think these are according to the strength of the astringent itself, but I'd definitely try out the Dry Skin version, for regular use because this version is a bit too strong for daily use.

The main ingredient of this astringent is Glycol Acid and Salicylic Acid, I was afraid of the fact that I had problems with Salicylic Acid, it would give me break outs, but fortunately, it didn't so I wonder why I cannot tolerate with Salicylic Acid products except this. I heard Glycol Acid is related to skin-peeling action and yes, it peels your outer skin.

Look, the before and after pictures, it's dirtier in real-life than in the picture but the first week I used this, the amount of dirt is even more in abundance as the color that I got after applying this all over my face (except for my undereyes) is pretty much greyish-black, and after weeks of using this, the color becomes less and less so I assume that this astringent is very deep-cleansing.

A week after using this, my skin was so dry that it peeled off and my current moisturizing routine at that time didn't work out for me as my routine was for light moisturizing and what I need was HEAVY moisturizing routine.

At first, I try to layer on my moisturizer, build it up to 3 layers, but it didn't work, I was using Essence's Pure Skin Moisturizer. Then, I tried Bio Oil, at first I was happy because with just a few drops, the Bio Oil really helped me moisturized my face completely, no dry patches, but what I hated was that it broke me out so I stopped using it after I purchased Simple's Moisturizer. Now, no pimples and my blemishes fade with the help of this astringent and the Fair and Lovely face cream.

I'd definitely repurchase this as I'm currently running out of this baby. Gonna buy the Dry Skin and Oily Skin versions.

Skincare Review : Fair & Lovely Advanced Multivitamin Face Cream

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've been battling and trying to diminish whatever lefts from my acne scars after months of breaking out and popping them out and yes, not advisable to do that but I just can't manage to stop myself. So I've been sticking to a routine that would be able to help and reduce the visibility of my acne scars, so far it has worked slowly but then, I'm thinking of buying this certain product which I will post on my Want-it Wishlist after I've finished up this cream.

This is actually an affordable budget brand that many Bruneians are familiar with but I never really see any reviews on any of its products.There was a few variants of the whitening/brightening cream, but my friend recommended this one as it works for her and she's someone who knows about beauty skincare products, so all her opinions are always being taken in consideration.

A squeeze tube with a nozzle which I found very practical as I want to savor this product so I can actually see any improvement on my skin.

It's fairly a white but white a pink tinge cream, and it does give a brightened look to your skin as you applied it, also it might be a little drying. At first, I'd usually use moisturizer and then apply this cream after, but I found it to be too heavy for my skin so I decided to actually mix it with my moisturizer. It works well as I don't have to layer it up.

It is also very mattifying, though I never really thought about the oil control so I won't go there. About this cream, it claims to be a solution expert for scarring, uneven skintone, dull skin, dark circle and face brightening.

Whenever I use my Clariderm (review coming up) there would be a lot of redness, especially around my acne scars, I'm sorry for not providing pictures as I can't seem to access my laptop's camera. So, after a while of using this, I can see that it reduces the redness around my acne scars and also helped reduce the visibility of my acne scars.

When I was on a holiday at Rizqun Hotel, I went swimming and of course wearing a hijab while swimming, so I got a tan around my face that are exposed. A tan usually resides after a few months, but as I'm using this, I see that there's no more tan line and also my face has actually brighten and I think my skintone is a little lighter now as I found that I've been using less amount of darker foundation mixed with my BB Cream and I finally matched-shade with my Essence Pure Skin moisturizer and the shade I have is for fair skins.

I'd definitely repurchase this to even out my skintone and help fade out my tans if I do ever get tanned.

What's your product to help you to fade blemishes and acne scars?

Skincare Review : Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturizer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

So, I think I can find some time to update my blog today and I'll be reviewing my current savior for my on and off dry/scaly skin. The condition is always set off when I'm using my Clariderm, which you will find a review in just a few weeks as I'm still in a trial session.

Ever since I used Clariderm, my combination/oily skin has been drying up creating scaly skins and I've expected it to do that, because the Clariderm is a very strong peeling astringent, but I won't be explaining why I'm still using it, I will explain that in a separate post.

I bought this while I was in a trip in Miri, I've been hearing good stuff about Simple products so I've taken a stab on purchasing the Light moisturizer because I'm not sure if I want heavy moisturizer as I am a noob in skincare stuff, so I play it safe with this.

It's unscented, which just doesn't feel right with me as I don't really mind perfumed skincare, but well, I don't mind about it though.

The texture is very lightweight and I like the feeling of applying it on my face, it really feels refreshing and as if my skin was drinking up this moisturizer, almost like this is a thirst-quenching drink for my skin. It seems funny that I put it that way, but yeah, this is as close as I can to explain it. It really help moisturize my skin and my skin has less dry/scaly patches ever since I used this right after purchasing this. 

Will I repurchase? Yes.

What's your favorite moisturizer?

Skincare Review : Essence Pure Skin SOS Spot Killer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

On another review with Essence, well, I hope you aren't bored with it cuz these are the only things I've bought recently. Technically, this has been sitting in my draft for months. I bought this, hoping that it could help me with my search for the perfect zit-zapper. As I really like the toner because of the effect its giving me, I'd definitely be repurchasing the toner after I'm done with it and also the other refreshing toner from Essence.

SOS Spot Killer, I'm sorry girl as this has been sitting long in my drafts, so I can't really remember the ingredients. But there's no salicylic acid and no oxybenzoate. The two most coveted chemicals used to reduce breakouts, so of course, I'd be curious on how it fares with my Oxy 10.

It comes with an unpractical glass jar-like tube, it looks like normal lip gloss tubes but it was made of glass, if I unscrew or screw the top, it would screech, so I was afraid of its fragility. 

It comes with a brush applicator similar to nail polishes.

It gives of an off-white fast-drying liquid, and I don't even know why I bother to blend it out. But as you can see here, this is not something you can whip up when you're out and about.

I think, in terms of performance, it only slightly reduce swellings and redness, which isn't something I'm not looking for, I want it to be effective to zap zits. Since it contains alcohol, it is good for disinfecting wherever your pimples are located.

On another note, I haven't used this a lot, but I found out that if you do not close this off properly, the product will dry up.

Even if this thing is cheap, but it's just a waste of money if it doesn't do the job properly and doesn't even last that long in the bottle.

Skincare Review : Pure Skin Anti-Spot Moisturizer

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I admit I'm not a big fan of moisturizing my skin as I do have an oily-combination skin so to me moisturizing wasn't so important but that was when I'm not so into skincare and I'm not even sure what kind of moisturizer that I'd like to buy. I mean I'm a bit picky when it comes to skincare, I don't really like to change up my routine so much, I've changed my cleansing routine a lot of times but I don't want to have a lot of choices when it comes to applying creams on my face, I prefer to use as little product as possible.

This moisturizer from Essence is from the Pure Skin range and the range itself targets people with problematic skin.

It's a normal moisturizer that smells almost minty but in a medicinal way if that even makes scent, the texture is very light and I only need the size of a pea to cover my entire face so a little goes a long way with this product.

What I can say about this product in terms of performance is that, it's just basically an okay moisturizer, it absorbs well but for something that targets problematic skin at least it should have been able to let my face stay matte or shine-free for at least 5-6 hours but it didn't have much oil control.

As far as anti-spot it claims to be, it doesn't really sooth any of my current breakout, so yeah, not a repurchase for me. 

Skincare Review : Essence Oil-free Eye & Lip Makeup Remover

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I think I'm a little bored of saying how cheap and how good Essence really are, because they really are good and affordable. I did buy the Eye & Lips Make-up Remover in the waterproof version but then I found out that it is oil-based remover which is not to my liking, so I decided to come back to Paloma and bought the oil-free version.

It's not an alcohol-based remover as it doesn't really have any drying effect or stinging effect when applied to remove my eye make-up. So which is good for me because if it's alcohol-based might be a little too drying for me and the oil-based remover is a little too moisturizing and it actually clogs my pores around my eye area and giving me breakouts.

So I've made a swatch of eyeliners, eyeshadows, lipstain and BB Cream, just to show you how the remover works. At first swipe, it doesn't remove a lot of products but it does remove most of it. It takes a few more swipes to remove the products completely but as you can see it doesn't take a long time for the makeups to be completely removed.

I just love the fact that it is not irritating to use and very gentle but however I would love for it to be able to take care of the whole face as it's not a heavy-duty remover so I'd like to try the next best thing. Repurchasing this is not something I'd do but it's a nice product for me to have and use.

Skincare Review : Essence Pure Skin Anti-Spot Toner

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I never really think that toners are really important in one's skincare routine, it always depends on the person wearing it. As time goes on, my skincare routine wasn't really working, I kept on having a lot of blemishes appear here and there.

I just bought this out of curiosity and you know Essence have very good quality products with a budget price, so I'm not losing out on anything.

I was being silly and shook the bottle before I could take the picture of the powder settling but you can see that there's white residues in the bottle.

So about this toner, I like the fact that it's cheap for just $3.60 ($3.30 for members) and Essence is being generous in giving 200ml of toner, I can't remember when I bought this but I'm already halfway on this baby.

I like that it has some sort of mild medicinal scent to it, not too overpowering and it does give a cooling effect on skin and also cleanses any dirt residue that I could have missed while removing makeup. My mommy even uses this to solely remove her makeup, so I guess this is a good make-up remover too. 

This is something I would definitely stockpile as I can see that Paloma is being lazy to restock their supplies of Essence as I need to repurchase the black long-lasting pencil as it broke on me :( oh swell.

Skincare Review : Purederm Acne Wash Cleansing Tissues

Assalamualaikum pretty ladies!

I've bought this a long time ago and I've used it tons of times, which is enough for me to review it. I've always looked for any cleansing wipes that could be clean my face thoroughly when I'm too lazy to go to the loo to clean up properly.

So I bought this wipes from Purederm, I love their masks, which reminds me that I should stock up on their masks, LOL. But anyways, since I have a good experience with this brand, so why not try other things from their range.

From the moment I see the opening of the wipes, I was very disappointed as this encourages drying up of the wipes if not closed properly.

A normal wipe with enough moisture to cleanse a whole face.

Not a great makeup remover but then it wasn't commercialized for makeup removing, this is something an acne-prone person most likely to buy, it has this tea tree scent that smells so revolting to me, but that's just me, it does clean up your face well, as for its claim to reduce acne, no I don't think it really does anything for my acne, it might reduce chances of breaking out but it doesn't help with my acne.

All in all, it's an okay product for me and it's not something I'd purchase again, unless Paloma has those 70% discount promotion then I'd definitely buy these again.
