Glycerin helps in trapping moisture within the skin without stripping off moisture during the cleansing process .Job`s tears extract helps in whitening of the skin .Surfactant (sodium lauryl sulfate) is low in concentration, therefore there is no worry about stripping off the skin`s moisture. Preservative (disodium EDTA, phenoxyethanol ) and fragrance have a low concentration as well.

My main worry about this product is the mineral oil in this product. Incomplete emulsification will lead to clogged pore .This is why every oil base makeup remover always encourage their users to tap some water on the skin after using the cleansing products and massage gently and carefully until all the oil have turned milky white COMPLETELY before washing off with flowing water .You will feel the oil becomes sticky n stick on the skin, which is difficult to rub off if you do not emulsify the oil completely. Besides, menthol provides a cooling sensation after the cleansing step, but it may trigger allergic reaction in sensitive skin individual. Other than that are all safe formulation ingredients.

emulsification is fast,but I do feel some sticky feeling after wash off with tap water

This is a fresh, gel like cleansing products with a classical sekkisei smell which makes you indulge in the cleansing step. The emulsification is moderate, if you have tried out shu uemura before, shu uemura is definitely better in emulsification. After cleansing, you will feel the skin is soften and brighter, not drying .The cooling sensation will subside awhile after the water have dried up. The cleansing efficiency is poor, even water-proof sun block also cannot remove completely in once, so for those apply mascara I will recommend you to buy another eye-lip makeup remover.

Apply with dry skin and palm. Massage gently on the skin then tap some water on the face to massage until all the gel has turned milky white, finally wash off with flowing water.

Pros: not drying, nice smell

Cons: pore clogging if emulsification is not being done properly, poor cleansing efficiency
