[ETUDE HOUSE] MILKY you *CLEANSING MILK* & Every Month Soft & Moist *CLEANSING CREAM*

Removing make-up before going to sleep is very important and I constantly get new make-up removing products. I liked to use cleansing wipes but those irritated my skin (especially around my eye area) too much. I switched over to cleansing oils, creams and lotions and am currently using the [BeautyMate] Cherry Blossom Deep Cleansing Oil from Taiwan. It removes light and heavy make-up without blocking the skin pores. From this line is also a Mousse Cleanser, Moisturizing Peeling Gel and Moisturizing Lotion available.

Furthermore, I already purchased a few more cleanser in the past weeks: the MILKY you CLEANSING MILK and the Every Month Soft & Moist CLEANSING CREAM from [ETUDE HOUSE]. The next make-up remover I will get is [SKINFOOD]'s Milk Coconut Jam.... 

MILKY you CLEANSING MILK:

Description: Rich in nourishing oils, this emulsion type Cleansing Milk instantly cleanses off skin impurities and even heavy make-up, leaving the complexion soft, clean, and feeling moisturized.

The cleansing milk comes inside a whitish, slightly translucent plastic bottle, contains 200ml and has a pump on top for easy dispense.

The MILKY you line consists of: CLEANSING MILK, CLEANSING FOAM, ONE STEP CLEANSING FOAM (can be used as make-up remover on dry skin or as foam on wet skin) and BABY MILK WATER (need to be mixed with normal water).

I got samples of the ONE STEP CLEANSING FOAM and I didn't like that one a lot - anyway not as make-up remover.
The CLEANSING MILK contains Milk Lipids, Milk Protein Extract, Glycerin, Lactic Acid (Natural Milk Acid), Water, Mineral Oil, Alcohol Denat, Silica, Fragrance and more.

Every Month CLEANSING CREAM ~Soft & Moist~:

Description: This cleansing cream removes impurities you usually cannot remove when you're busy, containing 12 kinds of moist ingredients.

The Every Month CLEANSING CREAM is available as two (2) kinds: Moisture & Revitalizing and Soft & Moist. I got the latter one because I wanted a cleanser that dosn't dry out my skin.
On eBay I just saw that [ETUDE HOUSE] also released Every Month CLEANSING FOAMS: 12 different kinds to be more exact - one for each month! I will order right now #3 Apple & Tomato (Tone Clarifying), #6 Tea Tree (Trouble Care) and #10 Green Vegetables (Clean Moisture).
The cleansing cream comes inside a beige-colored tube, contains 180ml and has a white flip-top lid. You need to squeeze the tube to get the product out.

Every kind has different main ingredients inside. Soft & Moist contains Saussurea Involucrata Extract, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Lavender Oil, Rosa Canina Flower Oil, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract, Brussels Sprout Extract, Broccoli Sprout Extract, Rapesed Sprout Extract, Shea Butter, Rice Bran Oil, Avocado Oil, Nelumbo Nucifera Germ Extract, Orange Oil, Cucumber Fruit Extract, Sesame Seed Oil, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract,raiensis Seed Oil, Sunflower Sprout Extract, Apricot Kernel Oil, Pinus KoSoybean Oil, Walnut Seed Extract, Soybean Sterols, Water, Minearl Oil, Fragrance and some more.

Both make-up remover have a white color while the consistency of the MILKY you CLEANSING MILK is not as thick and creamy as the Every Month one.
The scents are nice and not overpowering.

In make-up removing they both do a very good job. They remove even waterproof make-up but might have some little problems with removing mascara properly. But after washing the face with a cleansing foam even those are gone.
Afterwards my face doesn't feel dry what I like a lot!

Price: About US$17 (MILKY you), US$9 (Every Month), US$15 (BeautyMate)

[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.

[Holika Holika] Gonyak Soft *JELLY in Cleansing Cream*

Within the last few month [Holika Holika] released some new product lines. One of these is the Gonyak Soft line, whose products are good for dry and sensitive skin, because they are mild and moisturizing.
I got the Gonyak Soft JELLY in Cleansing Cream for make-up removal. The other available products are:
- JELLY in Cleansing Foam
- JELLY Scrub
- PERFECT Bubble Foam
- MOISTURE Cleansing Balm

Description: Mild and moisturizing cleansing with smooth konjac biz. Konjac ingredient that is excellent on hydrolysis of protein cleanses make-up impurities and pores cleanly. Stimulates skin gently and gives massage to create transparent skin.

No-petrol lithium, no-benzophenone, and no-artificial color.

The cleansing cream comes inside a pink jar, contains 150ml and has a white twist-off lid.
The entire description is in Korean only.

Underneath the lid is a second white cover to protect the product inside.

Its main ingredient is Konjac Root Extract (10%). 

Compared with other cleansing creams the Gonyak Soft JELLY in Cleansing Cream doesn't have a super smooth and creamy consistency. The white texture is a a mix of cream and jelly.
You can see all the small jelly bits/ clumps inside this cleansing cream.
These jelly bits gentle massage your skin and removes the make-up.

Beside the soft texture it also has a soft and slightly sweet scent, what I really like.

After trying this cleanser out I can say that it removed my make-up very well and left my skin soft afterwards. It even removed my eye make-up without burning in my eyes.

How to use: Pour moderate amount on dry hands, and remove make-up while massaging gently all over face. Wipe off with tissue, and rinse with warm water.

Price: around 13,50,- €/ US$18 
Bought at: eBay (rubyruby76)  

What I love: 
It removes make-up well without drying out my skin. 

What I don’t like: 
Nothing yet! 

Will I buy this again? Maybe I will. Would also like to try out the Cleansing Foam and/ or Bubble Foam.

[SKINFOOD] Special Cleansing Travel Kit

Sometimes I like to get a Travel Kit or Trial Kit! Not only because it is mostly cheaper than the full size product but also because it conatins more than a simple sample (pouch). This way I can try out a specific product better.
A few weeks ago I found at eBay the [SKINFOOD] Special Cleansing Travel Kit which contains the following:
- Black Sugar Deep Cleansing Cream
- Egg White Pore Foam
- Glacier Water Multi Gel
- Green Tea Deo Wash -For body-
- Citron Scalp Care Shampoo

I mainly got it coz of the Glacier Water Multi Gel but some of the other things looked interesting, too.

The 5 products came in a small travel/ vanity bag which is partially brown with a zipper on top.

The tubes looking all the same, just the print on the front is different for each product. Each tube contains 20ml and has a twist-off lid.

The descriptions on the back are always in korean only.

Black Sugar Deep Cleansing Cream:

Description: The mineral-rich Brazilian black sugar in the cleansing cream leaves your skin moist after washing and gently removes the dense make-up.

The make-up removing Deep Cleansing Cream has a creamy consistency, a light brown color and a slight sweet scent. I used it a few times now and it removed my make-up quite well without drying out my skin too much or burning in my eyes.

I used the following (left to right):
Eyeshadow, Eyebrow Concealer, Eyeliner/ Kajal, Mascara, Lipgloss, Lipstick, BB Cream

After massaging the cleansing cream over my skin (above) and after removing the residues with a tissue (below):

You can see that there is still the eyeliner/ kajal visible but it was completely gone after washing it off with warm water afterwards.

Egg White Pore Foam:

Description: A pore-refining cleanser with egg white extract that deep-cleanses pores with white foam.

[Egg white Story] Egg white, enriched with alumin, promotes firmer skin and smaller pores.

This cleansing foam with egg white extract belongs to the same product line as the Egg White Pore Mask I reviewed here.

The consistency is thick & creamy with a soft scent. It slightly tightens my pores and that's what I like about this product. I would get it as a full size but I own too many other facial cleansers already.

Green Tea Deo Wash -For body-:

Description: A cleansing body wash containing green tea extract is specially formulated to fight against unpleasant odors with its rich foam and perfect cleansing properties while refreshing green tea scent keeps your body refreshing.

The Green Tea Deo Wash was a product I wanted to buy before already but it's too expensive for me (US$24 for 400ml). So, I was more than happy to get a smaller size with this Special Cleansing Travel Kit.

The colorless liquid soap has a nice green tea scent...that's almost all I can say. I don't feel anything special about it. It's like every other body wash/ shower gel I used before.

Citron Scalp Care Shampoo:

Description: Citron Scalp Care Shampoo is free of 4 additives (colorings, paraffin, ethanol, benzophenone) and contains Citron extracts marked by its beautiful citrus aroma. The pure fresh lather cleanses your scalp.

[Citron Story] Citron, so popular as to be used for baths for its beauty ingredients, makes your scalp healthy and your hair beautiful.

In this colorless shampoo I was less interested! It has a nice fresh citrus scent and surely cleanses my scalp and hair as well but I still prefer other hair care products.
I need to use a conditioner, though, otherwise my long hair is hard to comb.

This Citron Scalp Care Shampoo might be good for those with dry or normal hair.

Glacier Water Multi Gel (Toning & Soothing):

Description: A glacier water-infused lightweight moisture gel that helps tone and soothe skin. Also can be used as a facial gel, overnight mask and body gel.

[Glacier Water Story] Pure glacier water is naturally alkalescent and enriched with oxygen, potassium, calcium, magnesium and other beneficial minerals.

The main reason why I got this Travel Kit is this Glacier Water Multi Gel (Toning & Soothing). I reviewed the Gel Mask already here and now I can try out the Multi Gel as well.
The clear gel is very moisturizing and refreshing but it starts to tightens my skin after it got absorbed. Therefore, I need to use a moisturizer over it.
Somehow, I find it vey similar to a aloe vera gel. Still a nice product and good for people with oily skin or after sunbathing.

What I don’t like: 

The two products I don't like a lot are the Green Tea Deo Wash and the Citron Scalp Care Shampoo.
