Product Description
Infused with blue micro-beads of vegetable origins to deeply cleanse and purify
Gives 24h hydration for moist-velvet and glowing skin. It is targeted at Asian women with dullness and yellowed skin concerns
I received the 5ml sample from a lovely Biotherm promoter when I bought the moisturiser from the same range, in February. I just wished that more promoters can be like her, giving out complimentary samples for customers to try before committing to the full size.
I had positive experiences after using cleansers with microbeads in them such as Biotherm Hydra Detox Purifying Cleanser and Biotherm Cellular Detoxifying Hydra-Clarifying Cleanser so I was quite keen in using this cleanser.
The latest range from Biotherm, known as Aquasource Skin Perfection is touted to be a high definition perfecting care with 24h moisturising effect.
5,000 litres of spa water + 35 million Aquakeep, with light micro-infusers for intense hydration and crystalline radiance. Each Aquakeep can absorb up to 1,000 times its weight in enriched water, releasing radiance-enhancing natural actives at the heart of the skin.
Armed with this information, I bought my moisturiser and got a free cleanser to try out. I will review the moisturiser at the a date but in the meantime, lets review the cleanser which I received.
The scent is typical of Biotherm products. I am very poor in describing scent so I would just say that its a light subtle scent, nothing too offensive. As you can see from the pictures, the blue coloured beads are microbeads and I do find that it cleanses better than a regular cleanser, clearing some tiny bumps on my face. Its lathers quite well and the foam gets more and more as I massage it on the face. However lathering face cleanser is never welcomed on my sensitive skin because it just meant more irritation and more dehydration.
The first time I used it, I experienced drying effects on my hands almost immediately. There is a squeaky feeling on the face as well. But after cleansing it off with water, I did not feel any taut feeling on the skin anymore.
I used it for the 2nd time on the 3rd day (alternate usage due to dehydration fear), I experienced the same drying effects on my hands and the squeaky feeling on the skin. And thereafter, my face turned abit red and almost warm and there is a subtle taut feeling on the face that would not go away. My skin continued to be warm till I used a hydrating mask.
I decided that this cleanser is certainly not for me. Foaming cleanser just never works for me though I do welcome the exfoliating beads in it.
