Review: Laneige Foam Cleanser Moisture
My experience with
cleansing foam so far had never been so good, hence I switched to a very gentle
facial cleanser that produce no bubbles at all like Cetaphil (even though in
fact it still contains SLS but somehow my skin liked it so much!). However if
any of you have tried a super gentle cleanser like Cetaphil, you might feel
that it doesn’t really do the cleansing into a deeper level of your skin –
because sometimes it even barely cleanses the surface! That’s the main reason
why I still hunt for cleansing foam because rubbing your face with foam/bubbles
simply makes it feel squeaky clean. Agree or not? ;)
This Laneige cleanser has
been in my wish list for quite some time because I was intrigued to see the good
reviews. Now that I managed to buy it (after reading a lot reviews and hesitating
for one month already) please let me review it for you based on my experience
with it ~

Description
Ingredients
This product comes with
outer box packaging, like the other Laneige products do. At the back side of
the box you will find the ingredients list and the description of the product.
Inside you will have this
big pink plastic tube (it is huge even though it only holds 180ml product
inside) and a leaflet containing some product descriptions and directions on
how to use them.
This cleanser is so creamy and thick in texture, which is great since this kind of constituency in cleanser is a sign that it would lather a lot and make dense foam/bubbles. When using cleansing foam, I suggest you to use foaming net to produce the thick and dense bubbles and not using hand to minimize frictions between your palms and the delicate skin. With this product it’s good to work both ways – with bare hands or foaming net – but with hands, it won’t produce any foam or bubbles instead it would work just like a nice creamy lotion cleanser on your face.
pearly-white thick cream cleanser! only this much and it's enough for whole face~ |
Apparently this product
also has nice floral scent to it. I actually love scented products and my skin
doesn’t react badly to fragrance so it’s okay, but personally I feel the scent is quite strong for my liking.
Now into the most
important question/part of this review:
does it work on me?
It feels really, really
nice to wash your face using this product. If you have dry skin and have hard
time finding cleansing foam that would not leave oily/sticky residue but
still could maintain the skin’s moisture and not making it feeling tight after
the wash, yes this is the one
that you should grab right away. It
doesn’t make your skin feel tight but still you can feel it’s squeaky clean but
not dry at all. Big plus point indeed.
How could this cleanser do that?
Here’s an explanation: When
you look upon the ingredients list at Cosdna, you will find there’s a lot of
substances that has high scores on the acne column, mainly the acids which serves as surfactants. Lauric acid has the highest
score on acne column plus it still has 1 score on the irritant column. Actually
acidic cleanser is better for skin as long as it’s around pH 4-5.5. Anything
that has pH below and above that is not very good the skin, as a healthy skin
is slightly acidic at the level of 5.5. This cleanser would work great on dry
skin, because people with dry skin
has a slightly too alkaline face thus lacks of the acid. And not only acids apparently, this cleanser also has Shea Butter ingredient inside which we know it's all goodness for moisturizing purpose. It lives up to
its name tho: Foam Cleanser Moisture – for dry to normal skin type.
On my dry-combination skin, this cleanser
works great at cleansing but sometimes I
can feel that it causes me several new pimples. On cooler days
however, when my skin acts up and turns to be drier than usual, this cleanser
does great job to maintain the moisture and causing me no breakouts. After
washing my face with this cleanser, my face will appear brighter and not dull,
even though the result is temporary. But with regular use I notice that my skin
is brighter than usual! Totally lives up to its claim too, eh?
Score
Last
Words?
Laneige Foam Cleanser Moisture works great to remove all the dirt and light makeup on
your face right away in one wash, yet it would maintain the moisture of your skin
and doesn’t make it feel tight afterward. For people with sensitive/combination
skin, this cleanser might be too acidic and leads to several new pimples or
redness & irritations due to high acid contents. This cleanser is not meant
to clear up acne, and yes it doesn’t help to calm down the skin. Using this
cleansing foam regularly will result on a brighter face, so goodbye dull face ~

I
want to love this cleanser but…it works better in rainy season, so I think I should
keep it away for few months and I gotta find new cleansing foam for hotter
summer days. Do you have recommendations for a non-drying cleansing foam that
is gentle, (preferably slightly acidic too) and non drying for hotter days?
Please drop your comments below and let me hear what you think of this product
and please, your recommendations too!
