I think this water based makeup remover was available in Malaysia since 3 years ago. I didn't purchase one until recently because I am running out of my sister's Biore Cleansing Oil but I didn't really like Biore's because I felt that either it triggers my skin to become bumpy, or it doesn't cleanse well enough.

So yesterday I went to Watson's to buy stuff and this was on sale! It was RM29.90. I think the usual price is somewhere around RM 35. I was amazed by the amount of new brands/products available at Watson's... and they were pretty affordable too!

The ingredients list

Anyway, back to the topic. Right after I reach home, I used this to remove my makeup (History of Whoo CC Sun Cream) and Apieu's lip tint. The pump squirts out the lotion so be sure to put your cotton pad very close to the pump. I used 2 pumps on 2 cotton pads to thoroughly cleanse my skin. The bottle says to keep using new cotton pads until the pads are clean. But I wasn't really convinced to use their method because it will take a few more cotton pads to do that, and that's wasteful. What I did was wiping my face with the wet cotton pad until I feel that the makeup has thoroughly came off.

My skin felt clean and moist and not tight while I shower and brush my teeth etc before washing my face again with foam cleanser.

The second time I used this on my no makeup face. I went out to do grocery shopping but I was at home most of the time. What surprised me is that the cotton pad turned gray!!! Does that mean my face is dirty or the air is dirty?

Cleansing power: 4.5/5 It removes the CC cream really well

Price: 4/5 Great price for 300ml but at the rate I'm using it.... I feel that the bottle will be empty in 2-3 months. I will try to improvise on the usage method I guess?

Packaging: 3/5 I felt that the pump could use a better one... at least a pump that lets me control the amount I want to dispense by using varying pressure. Also, I think they should release the refill pack in Malaysia. Saves money and it is better for the environment too.

Overall: 4/5 Minus 1 mark because I need to use a lot to thoroughly cleanse my face. But it's a good product overall (not drying, water based, no preservatives, colourant etc).
