Review: Too Cool For School Egg Mousse Soap

Volume: 150ml

Price: 12000 won

Availability: My sis got this from Korea

I love mousse cleansers because they are so easy to use and fun! When I randomly saw tcfs's products I was immediately attracted to their packaging. Super chic and fun too~ I almost wanted to get it from Qoo10 when I first saw it!

So my sister bought this for me during her stay in Korea in July and I didn't open it until recently.

The box is fully in Korean, which I understood none of them. But I took pictures in case anyone wanted to refer to it.

Since this mousse cleanser has egg white, I assume it's for pore tightening.

Ingredients list

First Impression: I pressed out a little too much foam. My, the foam was super dense. I couldn't even see the tiny bubbles. It almost felt like whipped cream! I wet my face before spreading the mousse on my skin and that felt really weird. It was like I was putting shaving cream all over my face. (Not that I've put shaving cream on my face before, but the feeling is similar, lol)

So the mousse wouldn't die down and then I was left clueless on whether to wait or wash it off. After contemplating a few seconds, I washed it off because it's labeled a SOAP so I figured not to let it sit on my face for too long ;P

My skin was clean but I felt that the sides of my nose weren't clean enough so I proceeded to wash again with normal foam cleanser.

For this review:

I pressed the mousse out (all you need is a teeny amount) and directly spread it on my face. Well, actually I forgot to wet my face beforehand. This time, the feeling is totally different. The mousse quickly died down and voila, it seems that the mousse has just sunk in my skin and wouldn't budge. I wet my face a bit to massage in circular motion before washing it off.

The mousse turns pastey on my dry face

Rubbed in with my wet palms

After washing & toweled dry

My skin felt squeaky but strangely enough it still has moisture...! Good. It cleanses well and there's no residue of anything dirty I have accumulated on my face during the day.

Before

After

Packaging: 3.5/5 aerosol can is used so I guess it's not really travel friendly? But it's the reason behind the oh-so-dense foam so I won't complain too much.

Cleansing power: 5/5 on a dry face. Didn't try on makeup though.

Smell: 4/5 Okay-ish floral smell. Not a whiff of egg white

Pore tightening: 2/5 Can't feel anything. Doesn't seem to show drastic improvement.

Overall: 4/5 Great, fun cleanser if you're not pining for the pore tightening aspect. 

Please excuse the horrid condition of my bare face... those dark circles grrr
