i've heard about sunday riley for so long that i become excited when i saw that they've come up with some sets for the holiday. actually there's a complete set that has both the vitamin c serum and the retinol serum in one set, but it's already sold out. so i have to choose between the night set or the morning set. i decided to try the night set since it contains the retinol serum and the famous luna oil. anyway, the cleanser is quite famous as well, so let's see how it goes.

this is the description from their website: gentle, plant-based cleanser pulls out impurities while pulling in clean hydration, for smaller-looking pores and a clean, radiant complexion. a blend of four gentle, plant-based soaps that lift up and wash away dirt and impurities without stripping the skin. french green clay pulls dirt, oil, pollution, and makeup out of the pores while rice oil esters protect the skin from dehydration. impurities are pulled out, clean hydration is pulled in. formulated as a universal, foaming cleanser for even the most sensitive skin, ceramic slip leaves all skin types softer, cleaner, balanced, and more radiant. extremely gentle, this deep cleaning cleanser can be used daily, morning and night, for a healthier-looking complexion.

| everything inside |
the packaging: since i bought this in a set, it comes in a white box with magnetic clasp. there's a cardboard sleeve where you can see all the products inside pictured at front. there's descriptions of everything at the back as well as the ingredients list. the cleanser comes in silver/blue plastic squeeze tube with white flip top. there's another description at the back of the tube. it comes in 30 ml which is okay for a cleanser sample.

the scent: this one is unscented and it has a subtle clay-ish scent but it doesn't bother me. i just wish it has more relaxing scent.
 |
| description at the back |
the product: it's a pale yellow lotion-like cleanser. it can pour out of the tube easily if i'm not being careful. anyway, i can use this cleanser with bare hands and with the foreo. this cleanser is low foaming so with hands, it's hard to make it foam much. unfortunately, even with foreo, it's not easy to make it foaming so sometimes if i use too little, the silicone bristles drag my skin since the cleanser doesn't coat all the bristles.

the result: anyway, even though there's a problem with it being low foaming, this one works okay. it cleanses well without drying my skin. but, there's this weird feeling that i get after i wash it off that i can't get rid of. it's not like there's some residue left on my skin, but there's something there.

clearly that i'm not so fond of this cleanser, so i'm lucky to try it in sample size. there's no way i will spend a cleanser with that price tag. especially with that after feeling, i don't think it worths the money. anyway, even though i can't see why it was raved back then, maybe you'll like it, so probably buy a set to try it yourself. as for me, definitely won't repurchase nor try the full size.
