the packaging: this comes in light brownish/oatmeal-colored box with descriptions at the back as well as ingredients list. interesting enough, i carefully search the box and i can't find "made in PRC" anywhere. it doesn't state where it was manufactured as well. anyway, this one has an added label with indonesian description which is not found on other skintific products that i've used before. the face wash itself comes in the same colored glass bottle with pump head that's secured with a stopper. there's nothing on the bottle aside from a short description at front. this comes in 80ml , which is less than the amino acid and most cleansers since mostly they are around 100 ml in size. it doesn't look much different since this one comes in tall slim appearance while the amino acid is shorter but a bit chubbier. anyway, i have a bit of a problem with the pump head. at first, i thought because sometimes i only pump halfway. but after pushing it all the way down, sometimes it still leaks through the neck of the pump, so i think it's really a malfunction.

the scent: this one is scented and smells a bit fragrant, but not too much. it's quite subtle, so don't worry about it.

the product: this one is a transparent liquid type cleanser. i think it's a lotion-type at first, but it turns out to be more liquid that i thought. however, i don't think it works well with the pump since the pump head is quite hard, it's difficult to squirt the right amount of product that i need. i often pump a bit too much or slightly less than needed. anyway, this works well with bare hands and with my foreo. however, with foreo, it bubbles up a lot more than with bare hands. 

the result: afterward, this still feels a bit squeaky clean like most cleansers. however, this doesn't feel too drying nor too tight for my skin. in fact, this is slightly more pleasant to use compared to amino acid one. 

i can see why some people like this cleanser. if i have to pick, i'd pick this one over the amino acid one. however, since this one is scented, i'm sure there are some of you who want fragrance free cleanser. in that case, you should steer clear from this one. and this one comes in a glass bottle. so perhaps it's not suitable for traveling and for those who are clumsy. aside from those things, i think this cleanser is suitable for most skin types, as long as you don't have any problems with the fragrance and all the issues surrounding this brand. as for me, i won't repurchase because it comes in glass bottle and i like something bigger in size. but feel free to try it if you're curious, it won't break your wallet if you do since it's affordable.
