After hearing so much about Pai Skincare, I was elated to lay my hands on Pai Skincare Instant Calm Kit. I started off with using the 25ml sized cleanser, which I usually use it in the morning. The organic cleanser is detergent-free ( Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine and Decyl Glucoside ) and does not contain synthetic chemicals, alcohol ( ehtyl alcohols and alcohol denat ) or beeswax.

White with a souffle-like creamy texture, I fell in love with the hydrating cleanser upon my first contact with it. It certainly feels good, gentle, comforting and slightly hydrating, plus the calming yet uplifting rose scent is another bonus point. It is recommended to use on dry skin, followed by a warm muslin cloth to cleanse and exfoliate the face.

Pai Skincare Camellia and Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser does not foam but glides on the skin easily without any greasy after-feel or tight feeling. I didn't use the muslin cloth that comes with it because it looks like it may be too abrasive for my sensitive skin, hence I skip that.

Although it claims to be able to remove make-up and eye make-up, it feels too mild to be effective so I never attempt to use it as a make-up remover.

In terms of its calming effectiveness, I did try it on irritated and itchy skin. I can't say it soothe my redness immediately but my redness and itchiness were minimized and gradually disappeared after 3 days. It could be because my skin has calmed down after awhile or that the cleanser really did help in speeding up the recovery process.

That said, as much as I fell in love at first sight with the product, but subsequent usage does not impress me further. It was mild and gentle, too gentle for my likes, as time goes. Hence, the initial thoughts of running to get the full retail size have started to diminish with time.
