cher couleur whipped soap

as i've said in my previous posts, i almost didn't find anything new nor exciting during my last visit to japan (my last year trip). however, on my last day, i was walking around cosme store and there was this helpful SA that patiently explained to me in her limited english. since i didn't find anything else, i decided to take her suggestion and got the travel set. i've never heard of the brand before, so let's cross our finger.

this is the description from their website: for those who are interested in cher couleur cosmetics and are using them for the first time, we have prepared a trial set. the set includes the naturepeau series, which gently cares for your skin. a soft type facial cleanser. okinawan sea mud (marine silt) and soap-type fine-grained and rich lather thoroughly washes away dirt. even after washing your face, it even out your skin's texture without making it feel tight. estimated amount: around 2 cm.

what's in the set:
- basic cream (cleansing): removes dirt from oil (makeup and sebum)
- whip soap (facial cleansing foam): removes dirt such as sweat and dust
- reply lotion (lotion): prepares your skin to be full of moisture
- duo cream (cream): protects your skin from losing moisture

the packaging: as this comes in a set, it comes in a plastic pouch with zipper to secure everything. the cleanser itself comes in a pearly white plastic tube with screw cap. there's a bit description at the back in japanese. the cleanser comes in 15 g which might not be much compared to other mini foam, but it can last for a week or more depends on the texture of the cleanser.

the scent: they stated in their website that this has fragrance in it. however, as i'm bad in describing scent, i can't say how it smells. for me it's very subtle and not annoying at all.

the product: this cleanser is a thick creamy foam cleanser. typically, this type of cleanser needs to be rubbed until it gets foamy like a whipped cream. in japan, there's this foam net which you can use to make a cleanser foamy. but since i don't have one, i just use my hands. anyway, using my hands only produce low foam, but with foreo, obviously it will foam more. and no, even though the description said that you should use 2 cm of product, i only use less and it's still enough.

the result: as a cleanser, this works well. however, this is really similar to the famous senka whipped cleanser. it feels gentle while putting it on my face, but after washing it off, i can feel my skin is stripped clean. in fact, if it can make a sound, it will make a squeaky sound if i drag my finger on my face. obviously, my skin feels a bit dry afterward, but as long as i put a hydrating toner right afterward, it's all fine.

i have to say that among other products in this set that i've tried, this one is the least favorite for now. i've yet to try their first cleanser. i don't think i should recommend this one because this will lead to disaster if you don't hydrate your skin properly after using this cleanser. another cons, this one is not easy to find, considering that i only found this at cosme store. as you can predict,  i won't repurchase nor putting this on my list.
