[ETUDE HOUSE] Eraser Show Cleansing Serum

The last cleansing cream I used was [i.myss]'s AQUA MARINE SOFT CLEANSING CREAM. It was a good make-up remover and didn't dry out my skin. It came in a 200ml tube and contains deep sea water and marine collagen.
From [i.myss]'s AQUA MARINE line is also a CLEANSING FOAM and MILD CLEANSING OIL available .

A while ago [ETUDE HOUSE] also released a make-up remover line: Eraser Show. The following products belong to this product range:
- Eye Remover Tissues
- Cleansing Serum

- Line Remover Stick
- Mascara Cleaner
- Remover Bar

I wanted a make-up remover for the whole face and so I got the Eraser Show Cleansing Serum.

Description: Infused with Argan Oil and Aloe Vera Leaf extract, this serum-like cleanser soothes and moisturizes skin while melting away all makeup, including eye makeup, leaving skin soft, and feeling refreshed and clean.

The cleanser comes in a flat tube which is kept in white, blue and pink colors. 
It has a twist-off lid and contains 75ml.
On the back you can find the description in korean as well as in english.
The main ingredients are Argan Oil and Aloe Vera. Both ingredients take care of your eye lashes and keep your skin smooth.

The cleansing serum has a white color and its consistency is not as creamy as cleansing creams. It comes with a soft scent and the tube makes it very easy to squeeze out a proper amount. I like those tubes more than cleansing creams in a jar.
 From top to bottom:
BB cream, eyeshadow, blush, liquid eyeliner, eyeliner pencil, mascara, lipstick, lip gloss
 Applying the cleansing serum on dry skin (pic above) and massage it onto my skin (pic below).
 After massaging it onto my skin I can still see the liquid eyeliner and lip gloss (pic above) but after removing the residues with a tissue everything was gone (pic below).
[ETUDE HOUSE]'s Eraser Show Cleansing Serum removes my make-up quite well, even eye make-up. It takes a bit longer to remove eye make-up but at the end it was gone, too.
I never remove residues with a tissue, though. I wash it off with warm water and cleanse my face with a cleansing foam.
75ml might not last for a long time (for me) since I tend to use too much product to make sure all make-up is gone.
How to use: Massage onto dry skin, including eye area. Rinse well with warm water. 

Price: around 9,- €/ US$11
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)  
   

What I love: 
It removes make-up quite well and has a soft scent.  

What I don’t like:     
The tube doesn't contain a lot of product... wish it would be bigger.

Will I buy this again? No, I will get another cleansing cream or oil.

[THE FACE SHOP] Blemish ZERO *Clarifying Toner & Clinic Solution*

I haven't written any reviews in such a long time, I'm sorry for that. But I'm too busy with other things... I'm back to school now and study accounting and balance!!

During the time I was absent I still ordered some Asian skincare products and make-up. One of the products I got was [THE FACE SHOP]'s Blemish ZERO Clarifying Toner and Clinic Solution. This line also contains a Bubble Foam Cleanser and is specially made for adult acne skin/ troubled skin.


Description: A specialized line that cares for adult acne.

Clarifying Toner (Step 2):
 Description: Let's keep it clear. Make your skin glow with this toner which clarifies and evens your skin tone.

The Clarifying Toner is step 2 and you use it after cleansing your face with the Bubble Foam Cleanser or another cleansing foam. The transparent blue bottle with it's silver twist-off lid looks very nice for me. The plastic bottle contains 200ml and has on the back only the description written in Korean.
Beside Sodium Hyaluronate, Natural Origin AHA and Natural Origin BHA, the colorless toner also contains Water, Glycerin, Panthenol, Willow Bark Extract (AHA), Grapefruit Extract, Anise Fruit Extract, Linalool and more.
It is free of Mineral Oil, Alcohol and Synthetic Fragrances.

How to use: After cleansing saturate an appropriate amount on a cotton pad and gently apply using outward motions.

Clinic Solution (Step 3):
Description: Get ready to be surprised! Meet the ultimate solution which can always work magic.

Like the Clarifying Toner, the Clinic Solution also comes in a blue bottle which contains 150ml and comes with a sliver-white pump. This emulsion-like moisturizer is the last step of the Blemish ZERO line!
The moisturizer is also free of Mineral Oil, Alcohol and Synthetic Fragrances. It contains ingredients like Birch Extract, Mung Bean Extract, Natural Origin BHA, Glycerin, Anise Fruit Extract, Grapefruit Extract and a lot more.
The whitish emulsion-like consistency is non-sticky or greasy. The scent reminds me a little bit of a citrus fruit!
How to use: After clarifying toner take an appropriate amount and apply to skin.

After using both acne treatment products for a few weeks now (in the evening only), I can say that I like these products. I won't say that my skin really changed yet but I still like to use them - not only because they are alcohol-free.
Of course, I hope that I will see some improvements with my skin soon...

Price: around 14~16,- €/ US$18~$20
 
Bought at: eBay  
What I love: 

The alcohol-free formula and the non-greasy moisturizer. The design is also quite nice! 
What I don’t like:
Nothing yet!
 
Will I buy this again? If I see some improvements with my skin and don't find anything new to try then I might get it again (especially the moisturizer).
