Texture & Scent:


This facial cleanser feels quite "creamy" fresh out of the tube, but once you rub it with water, a fine lather forms:



I like how this cleanser doesn't dry out the skin despite it being a foaming cleanser! In fact, my skin feels quite comfortably moist (strange right?)! :D

Although this is fragrance free, this one has a very light citrusy scent to it! :D

Packaging:


This facial cleanser comes in a squeeze tube with a flip top cap, which i find quite practical to use in the shower! :)

I like the nice big dispensing hole:



Price & Availability:
This facial cleanser is priced at RM28.90 (approx. US$8.76) for a 100g tube. There's a smaller 50g tube available, and that one goes for RM16.90 (approx. US$5.12). This should be available at all Guardian outlets.


My $0.02:

Yes you guessed it right. This is the one i purchased for myself because yeah, i'm biased towards whitening products! So sue me! Haha!! :P

This one feels and works awfully similar to its Super Hyaluronic Acid sister - its cleanses well without drying out the skin! I can't tell if this one does brightens the skin though since i'm using almost exclusively whitening products for my face, but it doesn't matter since i can always count on my Kiehl's Surface Brightening Exfoliator to do just that! :D

This one is also quite affordable and easily available. It goes on sale quite frequently too! :D I can't really think of a reason not to like this one! :D

In a nutshell methinks that this is a really really good drugstore gem! I'll definitely repurchase this one again! :D
