the tube

the packaging: it doesn't come with any box. they just secure the tube with plastic sealing. the cleansing gel comes in white plastic squeeze tube with orange accent. there's description at the back in bahasa as well as ingredients list. they use flip top and the opening is the usual size. but i think they should make the opening bigger, as it's a bit problem you'd see later. it comes in 100 ml.

description at the back

the scent: as you can see, it has no added fragrance, so it's scentless. but if you sniff it up close, there's a faint scent because of the ingredient.

the product: just like the name, it is a cleansing gel. it's quite thick. it's a transparent but there's a light orangish tint to it. anyway, i mention that it is thick. that's why it causes a bit problem with the bottle opening. i have to squeeze quite hard to get it out from the tube. i do wish it has slightly bigger opening so i can squeeze easier. i wet my hands and then rub it to make it foam a bit before put it on my face. it doesn't bubble much, but it still foams a bit. i can use it with my foreo as well. anyway, it takes more than the sulwhasoo one to make it bubble enough for my whole face, that's why i think 100 ml might gone fast.

the result: well, it does cleansing well, and afterward i can see my face is a bit brighten. i don't have any pH strip so i can't say anything about the pH claim. when washing it off, sometimes i feel there's a layer left behind, similar to cosrx low pH cleanser. but washing it off few seconds more get rid of that feeling. after pat it to dry, if i don't use anything as soon as possible, my face would dry. but not very tight, just usual dryness after washing your face.

well, i have to say for the price, this works okay. it does cleansing well, and i can use it with my foreo. however, it still gives a bit drying feeling afterward. well, i just have to start my skincare routine quickly. if you're looking for a decent and affordable local cleansing gel, then you should try this one. as for me, it's acceptable but new things are coming out recently, so i won't make any decision soon.
