[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.

[THE FACE SHOP] Oil-Free Control Cream

A face cream I use before appling make-up is [THE FACE SHOP] Oil-Free Control Cream from their 'CLEAN FACE' line. I reviewed already the Oil-Free BB Cream which I like a lot.

Description: The Face Shop's Clean Face Oil-Free Control Cream is a superb moisturizer and a pore treatment all in one convenient package. Natural ingredients like liquorice, green tea, lemon make it gentle on your face without the greasy and pore clogging feeling of your standard creams. As with all items in the Clean Face Oil-Free Control Line, the cream helps you get a better handle on sebum secretion. Great for those with combination or oily skin.
The cream comes in a heavy matte (glass) jar which is beige-coloured. It has a brown/ bronze lid and contains 50ml.
Underneath the lid is another white cover to protect the cream from spill out.
The cream is white and has a creamy consistency which is a bit gel-like as well. It doesn't feel oily on my skin and absorbs quite fast. The scent is rather strong but I don't really mind.
I have some problems to get the cream out off the jar coz it has a square shape. A round container would be better!
After applying the Oil-Free Control Cream my face feels smoother and looks a bit matte, too. The effect doesn't last for a long time, though. 

Price: around 15,- €/ US$19 
Bought at: eBay (hsckoreanimports) 
 
What I love: 
It doesn't feel oily and my skin looks more matte.
 
What I don’t like: 
The square shape makes it hard to get the product out. 
 
Will I buy this again? I'm not sure about that yet!

[THE FACE SHOP] Oil-Free BB Cream

A BB Cream I currently like to use a lot is the CLEAN FACE Oil-Free BB Cream from [THE FACE SHOP]. Not to be confused with THE BODY SHOP!

CLEAN FACE Oil-Free is a product line which contains some other items like:
- Oil-Free Control Cream
- Oil-Free Control Essence
- Oil-Free Sun Cream
- Oil-Free Deep Cleansing Lotion

Beside the BB Cream I also got the Face Cream. I will review it later, too.
This BB Cream contains Chamomile Extract and is good for people with oily skin!

Description: New and improved Quick' Clear Complex treats oily or problem skin more quickly and effectively. 30ml
The tube is light beige with a brown lid. The size is so small that you can easily carry it with you.
You have to squeeze the cream out of the tube.
It has a creamy consistency and is easy to spread over my face. I was afraid of the color the first time coz it's a light to medium beige with a greyish undertone. But surprisingly the color fits my skin tone very well.
But sadly, my skin still gets oily after some hours...

Price: around 7,- €/ US$9.50
Bought at: eBay (ideaseller_kr)

What I love:

The color fits my skin tone well.

What I don’t like:
It's oil-free but my skin still gets oily.

Will I buy this again?
I would buy it again because of the color.
