Product Review: Shokubutsu Facial Wash

Hello, March~ :D

Hope your February had been amazing, if not, there are 10 more months to go in 2013. 
To start the first March post, I'll be reviewing this AH-MAZING (っ◕‿◕)っ♥  facial wash. 
It's nourishing. It's soft to the touch. Best of all, it is CHEAP! 
It's none other than Shokubutsu line of facial wash. I only bough two types of facial wash from the brand that works with my dry/oily combination skin.







The green one is the Balance Facial Foam Cleanser and the beige one is Hydrating Facial Foam Cleanser.

Balance Facial Foam Cleanser [For Oily Skin] 
It has green tea and green apple extracts. Well, according to the name it balances the face's complexion (??). For a better description, it has features of Lightening, Moisturizer, Nourishing and Pore Cleaner. <--- Got this from the website. 

I bought this 'cause I could't find the hydrating one so, it's okay. It does tighten the pore a little (not good for people who have really dry skin though, it can irritate the skin) but lightening, not so. It does moisturizes and nourishes the skin, so it's not bad. 

The smell is also not very strong, just to let you know. I don't like too smelly facial wash. Bleugh!

Overall, this my second favourite facial wash :)

3.5/5

Hydrating Facial Foam (For delicate skin)
This has grape seed and balm mint. This is a MUST-HAVE product (Did I mention it is very cheap?).

My sister and I love this product so much. I discovered this gem at the end of 2011. I was looking for cheap facial wash that could moisturize my dry skin while I save up some money to get an expensive one. But ta-da, not much money is needed for this :D

This is my top 1 facial wash. For people who have really dry skin or flaky skin. Use this for about two or three months, you can see an improvement in your skin. Mine did!

For people living in Brunei, they sell this less than BND $8. I'm not sure if they sell in other countries beside Asia region.

I like to add a story for this product. They actually ran out of this particular product in supermarkets and shops. I don't know why! I was looking for it for the last 5 months or so, everywhere in Brunei. In the end, I had to settle with the Balance Facial Wash which is not bad.

I actually had to buy two and it was the last two stock on the shelf compared the rest which were stacked in rows of 5. Thank goodness, it was during Chinese New Year sales. Haha, so I bought two under BND$10.  

My sister then suddenly had the dry skin condition rising up, so she bought an expensive facial wash from a local Korean-line of make up shop but it didn't work. So, I recommended her this product. She loves it :D She stopped using her expensive facial wash though D: (Bai, bai money~)

As you can tell, this product is my bias and I hope the Lion company won't change whatever great thing they got going on right now.

Advice: To ensure the product works on the skin, the usage must be constant. For example, I used this product three times in one day. Morning, Before going to sleep and whenever I feel icky/oily. 

Warning: If you try this product and pimples starts to form or skin condition is getting worst. Stop using it! This applies to any facial products. 

That is all for this product review. 'Till next time :D

Advice of the day: Drink your water slowly. For example: Taking sips instead of one or two big gulps. This allows the body to absorb enough H20 (Water) into the organs. Also, decreases frequent urination problem.
