the packaging: there's no box for this cleanser, so it's only sealed with plastic sealing on the whole body. the cleanser itself comes in gradient green plastic squeeze tube with flip top. they also seal the inside opening with aluminium foil to double secure the product. there's description as well as ingredients list at the back of the tube. it comes in 100 ml which is standard size for face wash. 
the bottle
the scent: i think it has faint green tea scent, but it's very subtle almost not noticeable, so it won't bother you even if you have sensitive skin. i don't see added fragrance in the ingredients list as well, so the scent is probably because of the ingredients.
description at the back and the ingredients list
the product: the cleanser is a brownish gel type cleanser with darker brown bits in it, which i assume the green tea bits. you have to add a bit water and rub it with your hands to make it bubbling, but the bubble produced is very low. now, obviously i'll try it with my foreo. as usual, it gives more bubble when being used with foreo. however, the dark brown bits stuck in between my foreo silicone brush. and it's hard to remove it. and no, it doesn't always have the brown bits into it.
can you see the brownish bits inside?
the result: this one works well and non drying. it doesn't leave "coated-feeling" as if i didn't rinse it well enough. 

now, i have to draw a sad conclusion about this cleanser. even though this works well and really affordable, and i usually like their product... at the end i'd say i probably won't repurchase this cleanser. mainly for the reason that i can't use my foreo with it. yeah. the brown bits that stuck in between the brush is annoying. and i can't wait until there's no brown bits to use with my foreo, and skip it if there's the brown bits. that being said, if you're looking for a gentle, non drying cleanser that's affordable and easy to get (this one is local brand, so obviously it'll be easier to get), then you should try it. but if you use cleansing brush on daily basis, i don't think you'd appreaciate the brown bits that'll stuck in between your brush.
