the packaging: it comes in a transparent plastic box with description at the back in english and indonesian as well as ingredients list on the side. they seal the top of the box with sticker. the cleanser itself comes in white plastic squeeze tube with a flip top. another description at the back in english. they sealed the flip top area with plastic sealing and they add another sealing on the opening of the tube inside. talking about the extra miles to ensure that it's safe and secure until it reaches your hand. it comes in 100 ml which is a regular size of face cleanser.

the scent: there's no added fragrance in the ingredients list and i can't pick up any scent even though i sniff it real close.

the product: the cleanser is greenish gel type and it's quite thick, maybe similar to avoskin's. with hand, it's almost impossible to make it foamy. it produces low foam with my foreo.

the result: after washing it off, my skin feels clean but not squeaky clean. it's not tugging my skin or stripping it dry, which is a good thing.

unfortunately, this feels mediocre for me. there's no skintainment that i got from this cleanser whatsoever, so i feel like washing my face is just a routine. considering their tag is 'spark joy', there's no joy in using this cleanser for me. almost similar effect that i got from avoskin. that being said, i do recommend this cleanser as this works well, it's gentle, it's affordable and it's easy to get. if you don't mind with no scent or no added benefit, then you should try it. but for me, there are other options out there, so probably i won't repurchase this one.
