hada labo gokyujun moist face wash

i bought this last year from japan. there are two types of face wash, the other is in standing pump bottle, which is rather fatty than this regular tube, but i decided to pick the tube since i don't know what kind of face wash is the other one. turn out it is the foaming type. oh well, no big deal anyway.

so, this is the description, google-translated from rohto japan website: "gokyujun cleansing face series" is super hyaluronic acid that can hold about twice as much moisture as hyaluronic acid known for its high water holding capacity, and even after shedding in water, skin adsorption type hyaluronic acid which remains adsorbed, blended with high-moisturizing vaseline. i am particular about moisture and comfortable washing. "hyaluron cleansing foam" is a cream type facial cleanser. a resilient foam cleanses the skin gently.

the packaging: it comes in white tube with the similar design from other hada labo gokyujun series. it has flip top but again, just like the other japanese products, it doesn't have any seal on the opening. they only seal the flip top with plastic, and that just it. usually when i open a korean product, even though they seal the other tube, they still put aluminium sealing on the tube opening. oh well, luckily it doesn't leak out during travelling.

the scent: as you can guess, it is scentless. but luckily it doesn't smell slightly bad, it's just scentless.

the product: it's a white cream foam type that lathers easily on my hand. i don't have any washing tools, so i don't know how it will lather up if being used by washing net or konjac sponge. update: as i'm finishing it, i have trouble getting it out of the tube. i have to shake and tap the tube to get the product slide down so i can squirt it out the tube. apparently, the creamy foam is too thick so it needs more than just pressure on the body to get it out of the tube. and i hate it. i have to tap it like crazy before getting out a little product.

the result: actually, this is the first japanese facial foam that really isn't stripping. i've tried sana one, and even though they claim it's gentle, it still give that stripping clean feeling which is usually come hand in hand with high pH. with this foam, i can feel the moisture film that leaves behind. now, you might think that i don't rinse it well enough. well, i do think that at first, but i keep on rinsing my face, even at some point put some pressure, but the film is there. i know this might concern some of you since it might get you thinking that there's some product left behind, but for me, i don't experience breakouts or any other reactions. so i think it really is gentle and moisturizing, just as it claims to be.

this is a nice cleansing foam. i think it will suitable for any skin types, even though it comes from the gokyujun line which is a moisturizing line. and it really is gentle. but i don't have any pH strip test so i don't know about the pH. but if you don't mind about the pH as long as it's not stripping your skin, then grab one. have i mentioned that it's super affordable?
