if you read my other post, then you'd know that i decided to try glowincpotion at last. i've been meaning to try them for awhile, but got forgotten since there were lots of new stuff to try. then i remember and bought the acnecore travel set and this one in full size. they have several lines, targeted for different purpose. but in each line, there are always 4 items in each line, the cleanser, toner, serum and moisturizer. i guess they made the brand to be beginner friendly or for someone who doesn't like complicated routine. anyway, let's see how this goes.
this is the description from their website: a gentle facial cleanser for daily basic skincare. helps to soothes the skin, strengthens the skin barrier and helps to reduce skin redness. formulated with propolis, triple ceramide, turmeric and aloe water.
benefits: cleanses the skin, soothes the skin, strengthens skin barrier, helps to reduce skin redness.
key ingredients:
- propolis : help calm skin blemishes
- triple ceramide: maintain skin barrier balance and strengthen skin barrier, helps prevent premature aging, reduce skin sensitivity
- turmeric: contains active compound - curcumin, which can help brighten skin complexion and disguises acne scars.
- aloe water: help reducing skin redness and moisturize the skin
ingredients list: aloe barbadensis leaf water, cocamidopropyl betaine, acrylates copolymer, sodium chloride, propylene glycol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, potassium cocoyl glycinate, DMDM hydantoin, tocopheryl acetate, potassium hydroxide, curcuma longa (rhyzome) extract, potassium cocoate, tetrasodium EDTA, butyl hydroxy toluene, butylene glycol, chamomila recutita flower extract, sodium lauroyl lactylate, 1,2-hexanediol, phenoxyethanol, ceramide NP, ceramide AP, phytosphingosine, cholesterol, xanthan gum, carbomer, propolis extract, ceramide EOP.
the packaging: there's no box, so the cleanser only sealed with plastic sealing to make sure the safety of the product. all their products come in grey packaging, this one included. the cleanser comes in grey plastic squeeze tube with flip top. there's description at the back in indonesian and english as well as the ingredients list. it comes in 80ml. they put foil over the inside opening for double security. the label at front has color coded splashes, for the gentle+ lines, it is orange. i have to say that the color is awfully similar to the chroma line which is red. i do hope they will pick another color so it's more distinguishable. anyway, they put the number for the order, 1 for cleanser, 2 for toner, etc so it's easier for beginner to understand the order of the product to use.

the scent: i know that usually it will smell like the base. for the acnecore it smells like medicinal/sanitizing stuff. but for this one, i think it smells like a mix of aloe vera and green tea. i know i don't read any green tea in the ingredients list, but i do. the scent is quite noticeable though it isn't annoying or anything.

the product: the cleanser is a cloudy white gel type cleanser that runs on the runny side. in fact, it's quite runny that it starts coming out of the opening without me squeezing the tube. i have to say with that consistency, i don't think putting it in a squeeze tube is a wise move. maybe they should use pump or other method. anyway, the cleanser produces low to none bubbles when being rubbed by hand manually, but it bubbles decently with my foreo.

the result: as promised, it cleanses my skin without making it dry or tight. it's gentle alright, but i don't know about soothing. as somehow i experience bad breakouts again and it doesn't seem to calm my raging acne. it still looks maddening red.

| see how runny it is? |
anyway, i think it's a decent face cleanser but i don't think i will repurchase as i don't quite like the scent and the texture. but if you're looking for a gentle face cleanser without fragrance and in affordable price point, then this one checks all the boxes. glowincpotion is not as widely available as its sister brand, somethinc. but you can find it from their official website or marketplaces as well as beautyhaul stores/marketplaces.
