i go through facial wash or facial foam pretty quickly that's why i like to stock up when i went to japan. usually i will order online, but since we almost go to japan annually for the last 3 year, i just buy them when i go there. it's cheap there! and there are a lot of options. for this time, i decided to give in and try the famous shiseido senka perfect whip. i've seen this facial foam on the bin of "best seller" for years and i don't want to try it, but since i went to japan two years consecutively, somehow it narrows down a lot of option in the facial foam department, so i decided to give in and buy this one.
this is the description from watson's singapore website senka perfect whip is a gentle and deep cleansing facial foam. formulated with naturally derived silk essence and extracted from natural white cocoons to create rich and refreshing foam that protects the skin's natural moisture barrier.

| the bottle |
the packaging: this comes in a light blue plastic tube bottle with flip top. honestly, i'm not sure whether this is the same as the original best seller that i've been seeing for years, because i thought it was darker than the one that i bought, but everywhere i go the bottle seems to have the same color, so perhaps i was wrong. this has sticker of approval on outer seal (which is just a plastic sealing) and nothing on the opening of the tube. i always grateful that all the stuff that i bought there didn't spill or leak since japanese products have minimal sealing. at the back there's description but everything i s in japanese so i have no clue what are they talking about.

the scent: oh this smells okay. it's not scentless but not overly fragranced too. for me, i like my facial foam to have some kind of subtle scent that will evaporate during my shower. somehow it will give the aromatherapy-kind of situation.

| notice the mess on top part of the cap, it's because the foam is stringy |
the product: it's a white cream foam. pretty thick and a bit stringy. somehow it reminds me of my previous snail foam. if you're using foam net, then it will bubble like crazy. but since i only use my hands to make it foam, it doesn't go as much as if you're using foam net. but still it will lather up pretty nicely.

the result: i was surprised that i kind of like it. personally i'm not picky about facial foam, especially since i don't have issue with it. i don't care about the pH because i don't have pH tester and the government decided to ban reddit website so i can't check with the list. sometimes i feel that this one really gentle on my skin but sometimes i can feel that it leaves squeaky clean feeling which is not good with facial foam. if i can describe it, somehow the squeaky feeling is in between the evita kanebo and the rosette face wash.

| i use tiny amount so it doesn't bubble up nicely. it will if you used more |
honestly, i'm quite surprised that i like it. i'm bored with scentless japan facial foam, so this one really brightens me up in the morning when i use it during my morning shower. definitely i will buy this more especially since it is really cheap! super duper cheap! but again, i won't recommend if you have concern about the pH, but if you don't care like i do, then grab one. there are other variations in this line, so if you've tried other variations, please let me know if you like it or not.
