the packaging: it's exactly just like the one in the picture. a brown with white flip top tube. and there's also a seal on the opening. just like most of korean products. they do take care of their packaging, and making sure the product doesn't leak is one of their concern. as for the size, since i'm using korean products, most of their facial foam comes in big sizes. this one only comes in 60 ml which is too little since i've been used to using big size product.

the smell: some bloggers mention that it smells floral, but i sniff it really hard. at first i do agree it seems have floral scent to it, but once i apply it on my face, the scent dissipates and rather smell not nice. if you understand javanese, i think the word "apek" is the appropriate word to describe it.

the product: it's a white foam with pearly appearance. makes it looks luxurious. and since there's the picture of it being slimy, i tried it too. and yes, it's sticky slimy. and one blogger said that you have to rub it on your hand with a little bit of water to make it lather up before using it on your face. and it does lather up nicely. forms a big bubble. but not as big as the advertisement picture. unless you're using a net or something else other than your hand. one blogger mentioned it has high pH, so if you're concern about the pH, then probably skip this one.

the result: i use this as my second cleanser or my morning cleanser, so i don't test for makeup cleansing. as for second cleanser, it's quite nice, no stripping clean feeling afterwards. since the previous snail product helps with acne, i can't help comparing the acne combat properties of this foam. when i first start using this foam, i suffered from hormonal acne from my birth control pills, and it doesn't help at all with the clearing up process. so i think the snail properties is different with the gel one.

will i repurchase? i don't think so. even though it's cheap, but it doesn't come in big size. even though one blogger said you only need a dime every single time, i think it will vanish quicker since there are two of us that use this foam. plus that "apek" smell, i don't think i'll ever be okay with that scent. so definitely won't buy it again, and if you don't like high pH cleanser, sticky cleanser, skip this one. you won't miss a thing.
