What is it & what does it do?

A gel-cream-to-foam cleanser that gently cleanses the skin and helps reduce excess sebum without stripping too much moisture. It also offers light hydration and soothing benefits.

• Claims to : Cleanse, reduce sebum, moisturise, and soothe the skin.

• Supposedly good for : All skin types, particularly sensitive skin.

• What I think : I’d agree this is well-suited to sensitive skin. Oily, combination, and normal skin types may enjoy this more than very dry skin types. If you're prone to dehydration, you may prefer this in the warmer months or opt for a more hydrating cleanser like Geek & Gorgeous Jelly Joker or Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Cleansing Gel.

Packaging & How to Use

Comes in a plastic pump bottle. The pump twists to unlock, but unfortunately can’t be locked again once opened.

• Directions (per brand) : Dispense and massage a proper amount onto the skin. Rinse off completely with lukewarm water.

• How I use it : I use this at the end of the day to wash off sunscreen and sweat. For the face alone, one pump is enough, but since I also cleanse my neck, ears, and décolletage, I use two pumps. I never apply it dry as I wet my skin first, then lather with water before massaging it in.

Why Green Tea?

Green tea is rich in antioxidants and soothing compounds. It contains caffeine and polyphenols like catechins and EGCG, which help calm the skin, fight free radicals, and reduce excess sebum.

Texture

A creamy gel that glides easily on the skin. I recommend applying it to damp skin so it foams better and feels smoother during application.

• Greasy? No – it's water-based

• Stings irritated skin? No, even after retinol or shaving, this didn’t sting my skin

• Fragrance? Fragrance and essential oil free 

Best For 

• Dry skin? Best in summer

• Oily skin? Suitable year-round

Longevity

I’ve used it for 1–2 months. Although I've tried to be sparing, I'm already over halfway through. I expect to finish it soon.

• Fragrance and EO-free

• Didn’t sting or irritate my skin

• Easy to spread and emulsify

Overall Rating : 3.9 / 5

A decent, non-irritating cleanser that removes SPF and doesn’t contain added fragrance or essential oils. While it's a bit drying for my dehydrated skin, it might be perfect for those with oily or combination skin, especially in humid climates. Just be careful around the eyes!
