The magic pump which turns everything to foam! 

Press the pump gently as it might dispense a lot of product if pressed too hard. 

Soooooooooo Foamy!!! It looks like cream and is very soft and nice to touch. 

Super airy and light. :)

Does it work?

Below is a demonstration of how the product removes a bunch of waterproof eyeliners.

Left to Right:
1. Swatches of different eyeliners.
2. Applied the foam on damp skin.
3. After gently rubbing the foam in circular motions.

As you can see, it did not leave a trace of eyeliner. BUT WAIT!!!! Note, this may not remove all sorts of eye makeup especially those that are waterproof. The result may vary when it is tested out on a flat surface and the actual eye.

PROS:
-It smells great!
- I love how foamy and airy the product is! It goes on smoothly on the skin.
- Feels light on the skin.
- Very gentle on the skin.
- Removes makeup quite well as you can see from the picture above, but it will not remove waterproof makeup.
- Does not strip my skin of it's natural oils nor make it dry.
- Did not break me out.

CONS:
- Expensive.
- Not locally available.
- The product works as a cleanser it did not improve my skin nor does it make my skin brighter when I use it.

OVERALL:
This is a good product but it does nothing for my skin. I suppose it can do wonders for other people, sadly, I am not one of them. I will continue to use this but will not repurchase.

Note: I use this interchangeably with Paul & Joe's creamy face wash, Nivea Visage Sparkling White - Whitening Cleansing Foam and Philosophy's Purity.

This product reminds me of Etude House - Cloud Bubble Oil which is a lot cheaper. The only difference between that and this one is that this one doesn't strip my skin off its natural oils.
