even though i still have two hada labo refills in my stash, but i want to try local brands new releases. several months ago local brands have been competing in releasing new stuff, but since i only have one face, i have to be patient and try them one by one. however, i'm glad that somethinc had travel sizes for several of their products so i get to try them quicker. one of the products that i managed to try this time is their cleanser. about a month ago they released a whole range of their cleansing products. though the gel cleanser have been around for quite some time, the others are new. now they have all kinds of cleansing stuff, from cleansing balm, cleansing oil, cleansing water and gel cleanser. since i still have cleansing oils, i just bought the gel cleanser in travel size.
this is the description from their website: a vegan jelly-textured facial cleanser that is formulated with very gentle ingredients, no SLS & no PEG. clinically tested to balance skin pH, soothe the skin, remove dirt & excess sebum, without making the skin dry, stretched and damaging the skin barrier. contains japanese mugwort, tea tree, centella and peppermint. suitable for all skin types, even for sensitive and acne-prone skin.
ingredients list: water, potassium laureth phosphate, glycerin, potassium cocoyl glutamate, acrylates/c10-30 alkyl acrylate crosspolymer, butylene glycol, centella asiatica leaf water, caprylic/capric trigylceride, aspartic acid, caprylyl glycol, sodium cocoyl glutamate, 1,2-hexanediol, lauryl hydroxysultaine, coco-glucoside, polyglyceryl-10 laurate, polyglyceryl-10 myristate, glyceryl caprylate, melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf oil, sodium cocoyl isethionate, disodium EDTA, calendula officinalis flower extract, mentha piperita (peppermint) oil, quillaja saponaria bark extract, artemisia capillaris extract.

| the tube |
the packaging: they have two sizes, 100 ml and 15 ml. i bought the travel size one which is 15 ml. both looks identical. it comes in plastic aqua squeeze tube and neon yellow screw cap. there's spout inside to dispense the product. there's description at the back of the tube in indonesian as well as ingredients list, though it would hurt your eyes if you tried to read it as they printed it really small to suit the size. they sealed the tube with plastic sealing. i only have one complaint. for a travel size, 15 ml for a cleanser is too small. maybe 30 ml or even 50 ml would be better. on me, since i use it twice a day, it barely last a week on me.

the scent: as you can see in the ingredients list, there's no added fragrance. but, i like how it doesn't smell foul like other unscented cleanser. in fact, i think i pick up lemony/minty scent. maybe because it contains some oils like tea tree and peppermint oil, so it might affect the scent of the product.

| the spout |
the product: it's a transparent gel type cleanser that's not as thick as other previous gel cleansers that i used before this one. you can see that they use small diameter spout and still the product can come out of it without any problem. it produces low foam when being rubbed by hands. with foreo, it produces a little more foam, but still not super bubbly.

the result: after washing it off, i can feel my face is really clean, but not super squeaky. there's no tight feeling or dryness after ward. i don't have pH strip test so i can't say anything about the pH claim.
i agree that this is gentle and suitable for all skin types. i have to say that i like this slightly more than avoskin one but i like kleveru one better. i just with they make bigger travel size. price wise, even the full size is still affordable and they often hold sales as well. i would definitely put this in my rotation list if i ever run out of new products to try.
