the packaging: it comes in a white/red box with descriptions written at the back and sides of the box in indonesian as well as the full ingredients list. the cleanser comes in plastic bottle with similar color combination, white and red (-ish). again, there's a short description at the back. the pump is similar to the serum's pump, which you can turn to lock it and turn it back to unlock it. however, there's not on/off text, so you just have to remember whether you have locked it or not. this comes in 100 ml which is pretty standard size for a cleanser.

the scent: there's no added scent since this cleanser, or probably the whole brand, is targeted toward sensitive skin. luckily, this one doesn't have weird or foul scent either.

the product: the cleanser is a cloudy white gel type cleanser and it's quite viscous. i don't know how much i should be using, so i use two pumps at first. i use it on my foreo. however, as i use it, the cleanser seems to vanish into thin air and then the silicone brushes feel like touching my bare skin. it feels dragged around and it's uncomfortable. i try to find the instructions, thinking that i must do something wrong, but nothing. i need to wet my face and then use the cleanser as usual. i try to add the amount to three pumps but still it doesn't change much. however, it feels better when i use my bare hands, so i avoid using foreo with this cleanser. anyway, this one is really, really a non foaming cleanser. it doesn't foam up, not even a bit. 

the result: this leaves a layer of moisture behind. like there's still something on top of my skin even after i wash it off. however, this is common for a non-stripping cleanser. afterward, my skin doesn't feel tight nor dry because of it, so it really delivers its promise. and so far, my skin is okay, in terms of the cleansing power is okay. anyway, i even try to use a BHA toner afterward to see whether there's any residue afterward, but the cotton pad is clean, so i guess it really cleans well.

this cleanser really ticks off its promise. it's non foaming, non stripping cleanser that's non drying as well. it's really suitable for sensitive skin. if you have sensitive skin or you like a non drying cleanser and have no problem with a non foaming cleanser, then you should try this. price wise, it's still affordable, considering it comes in 100 ml, and it's easy to get as well as it's a local brand. however, as for me, since i do like foam cleanser, it will be a pain for me to finish this one. and yes, i won't repurchase this one.
