raquick cleansing water

i didn't use cleansing water solely to take off my makeup, but i do use it everyday after exercising at night. yes, i exercise at night so i use cleansing water to take off sweat and dirt though usually i stay at home all afternoon. that's why i always have cleansing water in my stash. in the past i've tried bifesta cleansing water and though it's okay, somehow i wanted to try something new. so when i saw raquick cleansing water, i decided to grab one.

this is the description from their website: a lotion that can be washed just by wiping, and can be used to remove the hassle of a lotion with a moisturizing ingredient. it does not take too much sebum and keratin and is gentle on the skin and easy to use every day! ease your busy morning hours and be beautiful!
ingredients (the green bottle): water, DPG, BG, sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen, hamamelis leaf extract, adlay seed extract, serine, sapin strihoriatus fruit extract, hydroxypropyl cyclodextrin, pentylene glycol, Na citrate, citric acid, butynylcarbamic acid, propynyl iodide, phenoxyethanol.

the bottle

the packaging: as usual, there's no excessive packaging. it's just a green plastic bottle with pump head. there's a water drop pattern at front which is the same with the red one. probably it's their signature design. there's description at the back but it's in japanese. i transferred all the content to other clean bottle with pump on top that i always use for cleansing water since it's easier to damp my cotton pad using the pump from this bottle, so i can't say anything about the pump. it comes with protective film to cover the pump head but nothing else.

back of the bottle

the scent: i don't think i can pick any scent, and there's no added fragrance in the ingredients list, so it might be okay for sensitive skin.

this is what the cleansing water looks like

the product: just like any other cleansing water, it's transparent and liquid like water. i use cotton pad to apply it to my face. as i've mentioned before, i didn't use it to take off any makeup, so i can't say whether or not it stings my eyes.

top to bottom: foundation, highlighter, lip cream, eyeshadow stick, eyeliner

the result: i usually use this after working out before putting my nighttime routine. so obviously i don't think it would be super dirty. but i'm surprised that it managed to lift off some dirt or sebum since the cotton pad is a bit dirty. let me remind you that i have used cleansing oil and face wash to take off my makeup first, and i stay mostly indoor, so it's quite surprising that there's still dirt on the cotton pad. as for makeup, i use this to clean swatches on my arm. so you can clearly see in the picture that it struggles in cleaning up eyeliner and lip cream and probably mascara too, that's why you shouldn't use this solely to remove your makeup. this is the refreshing type, but i haven't tried the moist one so i can't say about the difference.

you can see that it struggles with lip cream and eyeliner this is my second cotton pad fyi

i totally forgot how much it costs, but i bought this in drugstore, so probably it's still reasonable. it comes in 330 ml which is quite big but i think other cleansing water comes in similar size. so it's quite generous in term of size. personally i think it's okay, but nothing special that i want to buy another one. but i think it's a good option to put into my cleansing water rotation. if you're into cleansing water and looking for something affordable, you might want to try this one.
