Product Description
An ultra-foaming, oil-free liquid infused with hydrating marine algae to break down and float away make-up and dulling impurities while softening skin
Sea Mineral Complex combines high-performance humectants and hydrating marine algae to protect skin's surface moisture balance while cleansing. Vitamins help maintain elasticity and suppleness.
Recommended for dry and combination skin, I picked this up from the Isetan sale. A new brand which I am trying out. I am attracted to cleansing water as a make-up remover and usually steer away from oil cleansing make-up remover. And its oil-free! Filled with anticipation, I thought this would be a good one for me but it simply made my skin feels tight after every use. I am actually quite disappointed.
I started off with some initial teething problems in using this.
After being used to using cotton pads with Avene Micellar lotion cleanser to cleanse off my make-up, I was quite clumsy in using this without any cotton pads. As per instruction on the bottle. I am supposed to pump it onto my dry hands, add water and massage into a milky lather. But it was too messy for me to like it. The pump spurts out the contents but its so watery so how can I kept it within my palms?
I do not know how others manage to do it with grace but I felt like a fool in trying to cleanse my face with lesser contents than I got it out from the pump because most of the watery contents slipped through my fingers. Such waste.
I finally gave up after a few days and got my trusty cotton pads to the rescue.
I use it according to the way I like it. Just pump out the contents to the cotton pad and cleanse my face. How simple, convenient and neat way to cleanse my skin. I do not have heavy make-up most of the time, just the normal foundation or BB cream and I thought this cleansing water does its job well.
Other than the make-up, the surface dirt on my face came off on the cotton pad as well.
It has a slight marine fragrance which is nice and although I love the fact that its oil-free, it seems to strip moisture away from the face, each time I used it.
After the cleansing with the cotton pads, my skin starts to feel abit tight and right after I followed up with my regular cleanser
, my skin feels so taut and tight that I need an immediate hydrating mask to soothe it. At first, I thought the culprit could be due to my cleanser but when I switched back to Avene, I have no such problems at all so I have deduced it to be this cleansing water.
I really wanted to like this product because its oil-free and its cleansing water but the loss of moisture just disappoints me greatly
