What is it for?

Pore cleansing foam with deep cleansing for oily pores for soft skin. Micro scrub granule help to remove blackhead on nose area. Bentonite extract removes sebum, deep cleanses pores and impurities. Water lily extract and eco-cert organic certified lavender extract, protects, and soothes skin.

Active Ingredients:

Lavender flower water, nelumbo nucifera, bentonite

I tried to look up this product at www.cosdna.com, but couldn't find it listed.


Directions:

  1. Squeeze pea size amount and lather into hands
  2. Massage all over face.
  3. Rinse with warm water.


Review:

Like I mentioned, I got this off of amazon and cost about $12.00. The cleanser is a  pretty pale teal/green tube with 175mL of product.

The product came out in a thick consistency and was a purple greyish color. The scent was what I assume was the lavender in the product. To be honest, I wasn't in love with the scent. I'm sure it probably smells good to other people, but for me personally, I thought it smelled okay.
For cleansers, I usually grab a small amount in my hands, rub it in my hands to create a nice lather, and then gently massage it into my face.  A little goes a long way for this product. I only needed a pea size amount to clean my entire face. This product gave a good and foamy lather, which I really like and typically look for in my cleansers.

"Swatch" of cleanser on hand. If you look closely, you can see a few of the beads.

What the cleanser looks like after using water and rubbing to lather it up.

You will notice upon lathering  that there are granules within the cleanser. The beads helped with exfoliating and smoothing out the skin. The beads are  harsh on my skin if I don't lather it in your hands first and then apply it to the face.  This cleanser really deep cleaned my skin. It removed ALL traces of dirt and makeup and gave a squeaky clean feeling without stripping away the moisture from my skin and making it dry.

There are good things about the product, but I won't repurchase this after I'm done. It does the job of cleaning your face, but it didn't wow me enough for me to make another purchase.

Overall:

Pros:
Cons:
*a little goes a long way, so this will last you a while
*deep cleans your skin
*doesn't strip away moisture from skin
*lathers up nicely

*wasn't a fan of the smell

Memebox: Ariul Mositure Box

 
I always love trying new Korean products from brands I've never heard of. When I was shopping the Memebox website, I was looking through some of their boxes they were offering and the Ariul Mositure Box caught my eye. (Just to note, I purchased this particular box months ago. There is an update at the very bottom about changes made to the box!)

As for all Memeboxes, they come in a cute pink package: 


When you open the box, there is a double sided card with information, instructions, and pricing of each item:


In this box, you get: sheet masks, a moisturizer, and a face cleanser: 

 
There are 14 sheet masks in this box from Ariul's 7 days line. Each sheet mask retail for $4-5 dollars each depending on the mask. The face masks are packaged as a newspaper, with each scent of sheet masks being "featured", it's interesting and cute! I've tried a few of the sheet masks and they've been good. The essence is more of a milky consistency. The sheet masks themselves are of medium thickness and lay soft on the skin. The mask  is a little larger than average sheet masks, so it doesn't lay super flatly as other sheet masks. Each respective mask smells like its scent (i.e. lemon mask smells like lemon). These are nice masks, but they're not my absolute favorite among the ones I've tried. As always, my skin after a sheet masks feels nice, hydrated, and plump. 


The Spa Water 24 hours Moisturizing cream  has about 50g of product. The moisturizer is probably medium consistency in terms of the thickness/feeling of it. There is a fresh and clean scent to the moisturizer. It absorbs into the skin nicely and doesn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling.

  
The Stress Relieving Cleansing foam is probably the most favorite item to me in this box.  It is a cream cleanser that lathers up very nicely. It has a citrus mint smell, which sounds strange, but actually smells pleasant! A little bit of this cleanser goes a long way and I feel like my skin is clean, but not overly dry. 


Overall, I enjoyed this box and trying out some of Ariul's products. However, I probably won't repurchase this box.
This is on Memebox's website for $29.00. Last time I checked, it's currently sold out. They have restocked this a few times, so if you want this box, just keep checking the website.

UPDATE: I've checked the Memebox website and they’ve changed a few things since I purchased this box and wrote my review. It is now called the Ariul Moisture Surge box and they now sell this for $35.00 and the box now comes with: 7 Days Mask line (x7), Juice Cleanse Mask (x4), New Spa Water Aqua Lock Cream, and the Stress Relieving Cleansing foam.
