Organic rose water that helps to cleanse and remove make-up, while helping to moisturize and tone. An essential solution that refreshes, nourishes and protects.
How To Use :
Gently apply on the face and neck with a facial cotton pad. Repeat until the pad is completely clean. Can also be used to remove traces of makeup.
So'Senz Singapore reached out to me some time back, to see if I would be keen to try out some of their products without any obligation to post the reviews. Its not very often that I come across organic products made in France that are available in Singapore, so I was thankful for the opportunity to try them.
Based in Singapore, So’Senz is an organic and natural cosmetics range manufactured in France. It is a symphony of simple products made from extracts of trees, plants and flowers.
All their products are certified Ecocert, to bring full transparency regarding the manufacturing channel and the use of ingredients. Their products do not contain any unauthorised synthetic preservatives ( parabens, phenoxyethanol, EDTA, DMDM ), glycol ether, silicone, synthetic perfume and dye and are not tested on animals.
Being a new brand for me, I chose these popular products - So'Senz Eau Nettoyante, Serum Lumiere and Eclat Lumiere to incorporate into my skincare routine for the past 1.5 - 3 months. My routine consists of daily usage with So'Senz Eau Nettoyante ( cleansing water/toner ) and Serum Lumiere ( serum ) coupled with Eclat Lumiere ( facial scrub ) twice a week.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Made in France, So' Senz Eau Nettoyante is housed in a 200ml clear bottle with a flick top cap that dispenses the contents easily without spillage. It lasted me for about 1.5 months with twice daily usage.
The texture has a watery-light consistency and sinks into my combination-dehydrated skin fast, leaving a slight tacky finishing which disappeared after a short while. It is colourless and has a soothing and calming fragrance.
Performance and Ingredients
Eau Nettoyante, in French, meant cleansing water, but So' Senz Eau Nettoyante is more than that, it is a Cleaning, Moisturizing and Toning Organic Rose Water. It can also helps to remove excess oil and make your pores look smaller (good news for oily skin) as well as help to restore the pH of your skin and control acne.
This is how I usually use So' Senz Eau Nettoyante :
As A Cleansing Water :
Works effectively in removing light makeup which includes sunscreen, BB Cream, loose powder and eye makeup. I have not tried it on mascara or heavy makeup to be able to attest to its efficacy.
As A Toner ( Hands ) :
Pour toner in my palms and pat it all over my face. Skin feels much nourished.
As A Toner ( Cotton Pads ) :
I poured the toner onto my usual cotton pads and swipe it all over my face gently, like what I usually did for other branded toners. There is no difference in using cotton pads or hands, however, it is more convenient in using cotton pads but more wastage in contents.
I would suggest if you had make-up prior to cleansing, its best to use cotton pads, to ensure all remnants are removed cleanly, but if you did not apply any makeup, just use your hands to pat the toner all over your skin.
As A Lotion Mask :
Pour toner over 5 cotton pads and layer it on skin ( forehead, both cheeks, nose and chin ) like a lotion mask, made famous by Chizu Saeki many years ago. Skin is left feeling soft and hydrated.
In terms of ingredients, the key ingredient, Rosa Damascena Flower Water has been shown to exhibit anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant qualities according to research which thus can help to improve and relieve signs of inflammation such as redness, acne or dermatitis.
However, do note that the list contains orange peel oil and lavender oil so if you have very sensitive skin, then you may need to be cautious and do a patch test first.
Conclusion
To conclude, I enjoyed using Eau Nettoyante and like that it is a versatile product. You can use it to remove make-up like a cleansing water, use it as a toner after cleansing and because it is Organic Rose Water, I also use it like a lotion mask to keep my skin moisturised. A 3 in 1 product that is great for travels and save space to buy more overseas!
