when i was in japan, i intended to do a shopping spree, to buy everything that i will need, including facial foam. facial foam is the one that get used quickly in my home because my husband also use it sometimes. even though the hada labo one is okay, but i don't want to repeat my purchase just yet. and i keep seeing this facial foams everytime i go, so i decided to grab a couple. i remembered the green one is the famous one but i don't want to try the usual deep clean one, so i grabbed the pink and yellow one.
this is the description from amazon: ghassoul is effective in ridding skin of dullness, comes from ancient river beds, and supports the rebirth of skin with the magic of its minerals. argan oil, rich in vitamin e oil and polyphenols, works to preserves beautiful skin. maintain skin's healthy glow! it adsorbs sebum and removes dead skin cells and impurities, causes of dull complexion, and promotes turnover.
the packaging: it comes in yellow tube with black flip top cap. they only seal the outer tube with plastic sealing, nothing on the opening of the inside tube. there's japanese text at the back, but they are japanese.. i have no idea what it's about. this one is 120 ml, which is pretty standard, but i think korean facial foam comes in bigger tubes.
the scent: i think it has similar scent as the clay mask from TFS, but it's very subtle. i don't think i'll ever find annoying scented product from japan. all of their products that i've tried either scentless or has very subtle scent.
the product: the face wash is a greyish cream, thicker than the hada labo one. i agree that this one is called paste. the texture reminds me of a toothpaste consistency. it's easy to lather, but it's not bubbling much. but i don't care about the bubbles.
the result: since this is a cleansing paste with clay in the ingredient, i was afraid that this one might be too drying. turned out it's not that drying. but it's not as moisturizing as hada labo either. i would place it in between the chulala soap bar and hada labo. i would suggest to immediately hydrate your skin after washing your face with this one. as for the brightening, i will say that it does brighten after i wash my face, but it is only temporary. i have other face wash that does this too, so it's not that special.
again, i don't have any pH strip so i can't say about the pH. all i know that this one might fall in the drying section of face wash, so i guess not many of you will like it. but if you aren't worry about the pH, don't care about the slight dryness feeling afterwards, then grab it. i totally forget the price, but i bet the hada labo is cheaper than this, so you might want to think before buying this one. so far it doesn't break me out, but it doesn't help with sebum problem. i notice if i was outdoor and it was super hot, then i will get oily face as usual. but if i stay indoor, i won't have that problem. so, the face wash doesn't really absorb all the sebum. i will try the other types before deciding which one i like better.
