Here's what our community thinks
iUNIK Centella Mild Cleansing Foam 29 ingredients
Such a good product, nice minimum aroma, pleasant texture, did its job correctly but nothing out of this world, still pretty satisfying cleanser (specially if looking for something affordable)
Great cleanser if you have oily skin! The product has actives so I use it alternatingly with a gentle cleanser as to not damage my skin-barrier. During days that I sweat a lot/wear makeup this product makes me feel squeaky clean afterwards. :)
Isntree Green Tea Fresh Cleanser 30 ingredients
It's a very gentle cleanser. I use it whenever my skin barrier is damaged since it has 3 types of hyaluronic acid and feels non-stripping.
It has a slight matcha fragrance and a gel like consistency. It's good for sensitive skin as it also helps in reducing redness on the face but might not be enough for someone with oily skin.
Overall it's a great product and worth the price
- made me break out
- made my chin itchy
