this is the last item that i have to review for amabie. they sent me some items to be reviewed early this month for free in exchange for honest review. this is the last one to be reviewed since i don't quite like soap bar. so somehow it doesn't interest me. but i will still review it honestly. upon receiving the item, i never heard of chulala before, so i'm glad that they sent me something that's completely new and cannot be found here.
this is the description from their website: long-selling soap which is loved by those who like the scent of moon peach leaves. because it is melting, it lasts long in the bathroom and washroom. it is recommended for prevention of adult acne and heat rash by antibacterial action of moon peach leaves. as a cleaning ingredient, papaya enzyme gently removes dirt, which is soap that can be used by your family from children to elderly people. it's paraben free, synthetic perfume free, tar pigment free, preservative free, allergy tested.
the packaging: it comes in a box. i think the box is made of recycled paper, but i can't say for sure. they wrap the soap bar in a plastic. there's a little text at the back of the box, but everything is in japanese so i can't say what it says.
the scent: i don't have any idea about moon peach leaves. all i know, reading herbal soap, i was thinking that it might smell like medicine. but thankfully it's not. and don't worry, the scent is very subtle. i try to sniff pretty hard and still i can't decide what kind of scent it is.
the product: the soap is in bar form, and it's circle so it's easy to handle. the size is about my palm, so it's easy to grab and use. i don't have any net or anything else, so i just use my palm to make it bubble. just splash a little bit of water and then rub the soap and it will bubble easily.
the result: i can say that it's gentle enough. i was washing my face the other day and accidentally opened my eyes, and this soap doesn't stink me in the eyes. after using this soap, my face feel squeaky clean, but not as squeaky as the sana one. i only use this as second cleanser, although some say that it can remove makeup, but i don't try it. but it can remove non waterproof sunscreen, so i guess it can remove makeup residue (non waterproof one, of course) easily too. as for acne preventing property, i can't say for sure since i don't have any breakouts during testing this soap. although i use some detox masks, none of them causing purging, so i cannot be sure about this.
overall, this is a decent face wash. it's gentle and bubbles nicely, doesn't have strong scent, and cleans decently. price wise, it's cheap too. but considering that it comes in a bar form, i don't quite like it. i don't have any soap bar container so i just put it on the soap dish which is attached on my shower head so it means i leave it on open space. in my bathroom. i don't think it's hygienic since it's mostly humid in my bathroom so i don't know what kind of germ that might hop on this soap bar. so i'm concern about hygienity of this soap. but other than that, if you like soap bar, considering the price and the longevity, then try it. even those who have sensitive skin can try this if you don't mind with bar form. as for me, i won't buy it, i prefer something in tube. but thanks amabie for sending this to me. it's a decent bar soap, but not for me.
