i still have two pouches of hada labo refill, but i want to keep them for now. we're not nowhere near the end of the pandemic, so the chance of buying another refill is zero. that's why i'm keeping it for now. i finish my face washes pretty quickly, so i will use them later. anyway, i have no idea what local brand face washes are in trend right now, mainly because i don't remember. local brands have been releasing more products this last year that i have hard time keeping up with it. so, this time i tried something new entirely. i have no idea anything about it. last time i tried kleveru, this time i'm trying n'pure. i didn't even know that there are two versions, the cica and the marigold one. so let's see how it goes.
this is the description from their website: formulated to cleanse the skin from residual impurities that stick to the face which can clog the pores. enriched with various mixtures of active ingredients such as niacinamide to help your skin look brighter, laminaria digitata extract and calendula officinalis (marigold) flower extract to treat your youthfulness skin. polyglutamic acid, collagen, and gold which contain in this face wash can reduce wrinkles, maintain the elasticity, give calm sensation, moisturize, softness and smoothness of the skin. BPOM, halal, dermatologically tested, paraben free, SLS free, mineral oil free, alcohol free, silicone free, allergen free, minimal ingredients, pregnant/nursing mother friendly.
the packaging: this comes in a transparent plastic bottle with a weird-shaped pump head. it has description on it in indonesian as well as ingredients list. it comes in 100 ml, but the bottle is short so it looks like it has less product inside. the weird pump head is because it has brush attached to the pump head. the brush is made of silicone, and the bristles looks like egg noodles shape. it's covered with transparent plastic cap that also acts like a stopper. it's soft alright, but i can't say anything about the hygiene. i once pulled it off the pump head and dropped it. i think i'll get rid of it once i've taken enough pictures. they only wrapped it with plastic sealing.

the scent: well, my husband tried this first before me. and he told me this one smells like the bathroom cleaner. if you ever heard porstex, well he told me it smells just like it. when i tried, it does smell like porstex. luckily the scent isn't that strong. maybe not like porstex, but like disinfectant scent.

the product: from outside i can see the face wash is pale yellowish liquid. but the pump head turns it into foam. the foam is quite thin but it doesn't disappear quickly. i can use it with my foreo easily.

the result: i only use this as second cleanser, so it works okay to cleanse my face. afterward, i can feel my face is squeaky clean, but my face doesn't feel tight or anything. it's not super drying or anything, but compared to hada labo, this one is definitely more drying. just have to quickly pat toner or essence to give back the hydration to my skin.
do you realize that both keleveru and n'pure are manufactured at the same place? anyway, between the two, i pick keleveru than n'pure. no offense. the face wash is okay, but if i have to pick which one i like better, it would be kleveru. this one smells like disinfectant and a bit more drying than kleveru. and talking about the brush head. maybe they should make it attached to the pump securely. anyway, price wise, both kleveru and n'pure are very affordable and you can get it almost anywhere now. as for me, unfortunately i'll give this a pass.
