[SNP] ACSYS CLEANSING FOAM

During October '12 and January '13 I used a cleansing foam from a korean brand I never heard of before. I'm talking about the ACSYS CLEANSING FOAM from [SNP]. [SNP] stands for 'Shining Nature Purity' and this face cleanser belongs to their AC CLEAN SYSTEM line, therefore especially made for oily and trouble/ acne skin.

The whole AC CLEAN SYSTEM line consists of the following products:
- CLEANSING FOAM
- HYDRA SKIN
- HYDRA ESSENCE
- HYDRA LOTION
- SPOT BB
- SPOT TROUBLE CARE PATCH

[SNP] also offers products for Pore Care, Blackhead Removal, Anti-Aging, Teens Skin, For Men, etc.
Official Website: http://www.snpcos.net/

Description: It is a mild cream cleanser exclusively used for oily and troubled skin. Its fine and rich foam completely washes out wastes in pores as well as makeup residues and horn, and makes oily and troubled skin, which is shiny and sticky due to excessive sebum secretion, clean.

The large tube, which contains the cleansing foam, is white/ orange and contains 150ml. The outer packaging had the same design but I threw it already away.

The description on the tube is in Korean only, I found all the informations online.

The tube has a simple flip-top lid and the cleanser contains the following main ingredients:

BSASM: Restraint of infection-induced cytokine, immune adjustment function, itch relief.

AC.Net: Anti-bacterial and inflammatory function, horn deletion, function on decrease in sebum secretion.

Niacinamide: Cortico reinforcement, moisturizing, anti-aging,whitening, anti-acne.

Allantoin: It is an herbal extract of comfrey and a pure natural ingredient, which is excellent in sedation. As it expedites the growth of new tissue, it helps to manage skin’s minor scar or troubled skin.

The ACSYS CLEANSING FOAM has a white, creamy consistency and a slight citrus scent.
I used it in the evening and it cleansed my face quite well but burned in my eyes and made my skin a bit dry afterwards. I also didn't notice any big inprovement with my skin, that's why I didn't try out another product from this brand yet.

How to use: Pour a suitable amount into the palm of your hand and make enough bubbles with a small amount of water. Then, after scrubbing the whole face softly like doing massage, wash out with tepid water several times.

Price: around 12,- €/ US$15
Bought at: eBay (2010bigbang)   

What I love: 

There is nothing I really love about this product.

What I don’t like: 

My face felt a bit too dry afterwards.

Will I buy this again? No, but some other products seem to be interesting. Hard to find them overseas, though.

[ETUDE HOUSE] WONDER PORE Soda Capsule

When I purchased [ETUDE HOUSE]'s WONDER PORE Freshner I also got the WONDER PORE Soda Capsules. Recently they released some new products:

- WONDER PORE Modeling Clear Pack + Pack Spatula

- WONDER PORE Clay Clear Pack

- WONDER PORE Brush

The Clay Clear Pack sounds interesting and I still consider whether to get it or not. The WONDER PORE Brush I would recommend for people who wanna cleans their face with a brush, but don't wanna spent lots of money for an electronic facial brush like the clarisonic/ SIRIUSONIC one.

Description: This product is a facial rinse-off cleanser for pore care, preventing enlarged pores, less firmer skin and moisturizing by eliminating what hurst skin health from within.

The light blue box is made of plastic, approx 10x6,5cm big and contains 2x8 capsules (1g each). I used 3 capsules already, therefore some are missing on the pics below.

On the box is the description in Korean and English and the ingredients are the following ones:

Lactose, Sodium Bicarbonate, Citric Acid, PVP, PEG-150, Chrysanthemum Morifolium Flower Extract, Dandelion Leaf Extract, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract, Sodium Stearyl Fumarate and Riboflavin.

Like the Freshner, the Soda Capsules are also a 7in1 TOTAL PORE SOLUTION:

- Maintain ph 4.5 +/- 1

- Refine the skin tones

- Keep the elasticity of pores

- Deep cleanses pores

- Minimize appearance of pores

- Control a large amount of the sebum

- Moisturize inside and outside of skin

Each capsule is not bigger than a small coin and has a yellowish/ beige color with brown sprinkle spots. They remind me of a fizzy tablet!
To use them take a bowle with warm water and add one (1) capsule. These will start to melt and produce some bubbles. I didn't notice any scent but the water got a yellow color.

After the capsule completely melted, wash/ rinse or face with the water and massage it into your skin.

Since I used 3 capsules only I can't see any big improvement on my skin yet. [ETUDE HOUSE] recommend to use it 2~3 times a week.

Nevertheless, I can say that my skin feels softer afterwards and doesn't get as dry as when I clean my face with plain water or a soapy cleanser. 

How to use: Melt 1 soda capsule with water at the last stage of facial cleansing day or at night. The capsule will melt fast with bubbles and gently rinse your face with this water.

Price: around 8,50,- €/ US$10  

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)   

What I love: 

It doesn't dry out my skin as much as plain water or a soapy cleanser does. 

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing I dislike yet! 

Will I buy this again? No, I won't! It was nice to try out but I'm too lazy to use it and I'm not sure if just 'water' really will help to reduce my pores size.

[ETUDE HOUSE] milk talk Body Wash *Banana, Choco & Steam Milk*

When I was reading another blog I saw a pic of a body wash from [ETUDE HOUSE]. It seemed to be new and I immedtiately felt in love with that. I'm talking about the new milk talk Body Wash! You can get it in 5 delicious flavours! I got my favorites Steam Milk, Banana and Choco. The others are Apple and Strawberry.

Of the shower sponges I purchased Banana and Choco since Steam Milk was always sold out.

Description: Moisturizing body wash supplies rich foam, texture and fragrant scent for soft, cleansed skin. Milk extract makes moist body and sweet scent makes feeling better.

First, I was a bit dissapointed when I got the body washes coz they are so small. Nevertheless, each bottle contains 200ml and now I find them kinda cute, too.

Each of the milk talk Body Wash comes in a round bottle which feels somehow like a rubber bottle but is probably made of soft plastic. The flip-top lid is white plastic.

Steam Milk:

The bottle of the Steam Milk Body Wash is white with a light blue print.

The consistency is not too thick, just like many shower creams/ gels are. It looks whitish and has the soft scent of milk and baby powder.

Choco Milk:

Choco Milk comes in a light brown bottle with a chocolate bar print. 

It has the same consistency as Steam Milk but the color is brownish, plus the scent of chocolate milk. So yummy!!

Banana Milk:

My 3rd favorite flavour got a yellow bottle with a banana print. Of course, it also has a great scent - the scent of a banana milk shake.

It has the same consistency as the other two again but a yellowish color.

The Choco shower sponge is still on the way to me, so I can show you just the Banana one:

Each sponge is individually packed in a plastic bag.

This shower sponge is yellow and got a small banana on top. The choco sponge is brown with a chocolate bar on top.

You can attach the sponges on top of the body wash bottles what is a cute idea.

How to use: Dispense product on wet bath sponge/puff and lather. Use sponge/puff to massage and lather body. Rinse with water. 

It can be used as bubble bath also (15ml).

Price: around 10,- €/ US$13 (Body Wash); around 4,- €/ US$5 (Shower Sponge)

Bought at: eBay (cosmetic.love & superoutlet-2009)  

 

What I love: 
Everything: the small design, the sponge and of course the flavours.

 

What I don’t like:  

There is nothing I dislike!!

Will I buy this again? I would! Still think about getting Strawberry Milk.

[THE FACE SHOP] bubble bubble Cotton *Foaming Cleanser*

In the morning I always prefer a cleanser that is gentle and moisturize my skin while in the evening I like cleansers for oily or acne-prone skin. When I looked for a new 'morning' cleanser at eBay I came to the bubble bubble Cotton Foaming Cleanser from [THE FACE SHOP].
To be honest, I didn't know anything about this cleanser but the design and the name 'bubble bubble Cotton' let me think it's a gentle cleanser for dry or sensitive skin. I can't find many informations or even reviews about it!

I just know that a Creamy Cleansing Foam is also available and both cleansers are good for All Skin Types especially normal skin.

Description: A pump-type bubble cleansing with creamy foam, contains green tea extracts, which refreshes weaken skin cell.

The Foaming Cleanser comes in a pump-bottle and contains 150ml. The bottle is pastel green with two feathers and a illustration of the creamy foam.

The pump is easy to use and gives you an instantly rich foam. The translucent lid was sealed with a small sticker!

I thought that the cleanser contains Cotton Extract but the main ingredient is Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Extract instead.

Some other ingredients are Water, Glycerin, SD Alcohol, Myristic Acid, Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Disodium Edta, Hexyl Cinnamal and Benzyl Salicylate.

The consistency is watery inside the bottle but changes to a creamy foam when you pump it out. The foam is soft perfumed with a floral/ green tea scent!

I use this Foaming Cleanser in the morning and I think it's ok. I like that it doesn't make my skin too dry. I use 2-3 pumps, massage it over my skin and use then my clarisonic Mia.

How to use: Pump 2-3 times to get adequate amount. Evenly spread out and rinse it off with lukewarm water.  

Price: around 13,- €/ US$17

Bought at: eBay (hsckoreanimports) 

 

What I love: 

The soft, creamy foam and it doesn't dries out my skin too much.

 

What I don’t like: 

There is nothing atm!
 

Will I buy this again? No, will try out other face cleanser.

[baviphat] Apple Soul AC Therapy Cleansing Foam

A new face cleanser I use now for my evening cleansing is the [baviphat] Apple Soul AC Therapy Cleansing Foam. It's not really new anymore. To be more exact, I got it last year and it was already manufactured in 2010. I have to use it now because you shouldn't use cosmetic longer than 2 years from the MFD on.

This Apple Soul cleaners is good for trouble and acne-prone skin. You can get five (5) other ones from this product line:

- Cherry Soul Trouble Catch Cleansing Foam

- Lemon Soul Pore Tightening Cleansing Foam

- Peach Slick Yogurt Cleansing Foam

- Fruits Moisturizing Yogurt Cleansing Foam

- White Grape Lifting Yogurt Cleansing Foam

Description: Enough cleansing foam, removes make-up residues and skin wastes.

Apple Extract get rid of sebum and trouble skin.

This 150ml Cleansing Foam comes in a large but flat tube with a white/green flip-top lid. I really like the cute cartoon print on the front of the tube. I remember that I got a Powder Pact with a similar design... The whole tube is kept in green and white colors probably because of the 'Apple'.

The Apple Soul AC Therapy Cleansing Foam contains three (3) main ingredients:

Apple Fruit Extract: Trouble Care

Dryopteris crassirh-izoma Extract: Trouble Care

Lime Flower Extract: Tightening Care

The soaps consistency is thick and creamy. It has a greenish-white color which looks kinda nice. Since there is apple inside it also smells like green apples. There is another scent as well but I can't really describe that one: a bit minty and/or nutty.

I use this cleanser for around 1 week now but I didn't notice a big improvement on my skin again. My skin troubles come and go as they wish. But I will continue using the cleanser till it's empty.

Price: around 8,- €/ US$11.50

Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)    

 

What I love:    

The cartoon print and the scent is also not too bad.

 

What I don’t like:
There is nothing atm.

 

Will I buy this again? I don't think so. The product is not really new anymore. Not sure if they still produce it.
