REVIEW: Skin Food - Seaweed Washable Cleansing Gel (Oil Free)

REVIEW: Skin Food - Seaweed Washable Cleansing Gel (Oil Free)




This is my first Skin Food product, I got this from www.sasa.com  for around $10 AUD. I don't think they sell it any more on sasa.com though, but you can still get it on Ebay or Asian beauty store all around china town.

I have been using it for about a few months now. It's made for combination to oily skin, for me I found that it does have some oil control qualities, bit definitely not a Holy Grail cleanser for oil control.

It doesn't leave my skin feeling tight and it didn't break me out. It doesn't remove all make up, but when I use make up I use a cleansing oil instead of a regular cleanser. After I use it makes my complexion glow, I really love that part of it, but after I apply moisturiser that's gone.

The thing that I have a problem with is the fragrance because I'm used to using non-fragrant cleansers. Initially I thought it was too strong, but I got used to it. The fragrance doesn't  linger it soon dies off after washing.

The consistency is just like gel, it doesn't foam or lather, its fragranced and smells like the sea and some sort of flower. The gel has a tinge of green to it, which I'm not sure whether its due to the ingredients or colouring.

It comes in a 170ml pump bottle, and a clip that clips on to the pump part to stop spillage if you wanted to travel with it.  The bottle itself is quite sturdy, the label looks like brown paper with a film of wax over it (most likely plastic).
