Hello everyone. I'm
back! and with me is my review of Skinmiso's Rice Foam Cleansing.
(I'm weirded out with the name. Do I add "cleanser at the end or what?).
Let's get this baby started!
So, I
bought this product for USD$12.99 from Wishtrend.com (Wishtrend.com is an online shop selling korean skincare and make up products. You might wanna check it out and while you're doing that, do please check out my blog post about my buying experience with Wishtrend.com here.).
Roughly, that’s around Php 584.55. I bought this product because I think I’ve
seen a Youtube video about top ten skincare products that are just the best and
I thought this skin cleanser was included in that list (I forgot the title of
that video and the youtube channel). Anyways, as I have pointed out in my other
blog entry, I have to wait for more or less a month to get my hands on this
stuff and try it (coz Philippine Postal system just sucks…seriously.)
Skinmiso
as a brand, is not really well known in the Philippines yet ---> Like,
Etude-House-popularity level or The Face Shop yet. They haven’t reached yet
that level and frankly speaking, I was not familiar with Skinmiso until I
checked out Wishtrend.com (Please check out my other blog entry for my very
first time online shopping experience.)

I think they don’t actively promote
like Etude House or Innisfree – uhm, like, the company doesn’t really use kpop
stars for ad campaigns, right ( I hope I'm right on this one.)? I do hope that Skinmiso, as a brand name, gets
well known since their products are really promising.
Anyways, Back to the discussion at hand.
Product
Description (as described in the packaging):
Front view
(back view)
Skinmiso
Rice Foam Cleansing 150ml
Removes
Excessive Sebum, Waste, Sunscreen, Make-Up and Dead Skin Cells
“SKINMISO
Rice Foam Cleansing removes, even at a time, wastes such as dense excess sebum
in the pores, as well as sunscreen, make-up, and makes your skin clean and
clear. The rice extract and other beneficial ingredients help remove wastes and
dead skin cells, and provide moisture and nutrients.”
My
thoughts:
Packaging:
Damn.
The packaging is expenssssssiveeee… yessir, it is. And it better be considering
the price. It just looks simple and elegant and just…..clean. Really
“clean-looking” like, all blue and white and a picture of rice stalks colored
in white. The tube isn’t the usual kind of glossy type tube and I like it. This
product has that “medical thing going on” aura. I don’t know what this company’s aiming for
but I certainly think that this product’s packaging is really clean-looking. And
I somehow, like it. I’m weird right?
Upon
using:
The
product has this watery consistency, typical of the water used in soaking and
cleaning the rice. It has white granules on it which I think helps in
exfoliation.
(Please excuse my very dry hands. I have not yet moisturize. ^^)
It has a smell that reminds you of flowers. The smell does not
over power though, it’s just enough for me (I have a really sensitive nose so
any type of smell that’s just too much, my nose just reacts to it with bouts of
sneezing.) You just need a pea-size since it foams a lot.
(I have yet to rub it to make it foamy. ^^)
The
only downside is that after a while of using, it just gets a little bit messy
since it is really watery. You can’t really control how much product you want when you
squeeze the tube because of its watery consistency. It would have been better
if the container was a pump.
Performance:
After
washing, it leaves my face really squeaky clean. I can say that the oil and
dirt are removed. Plus, it really controls sebum production as I have noticed
that after wash, even if the air is just so humid (It still is summer here in
the Philippines and it’s really HOT), my face is still oil free. Definitely one
of the few cleansers that actually deliver.
My
brother (a teenager and has stress-related zits here and there) who have been
using it (coz we’re sharing coz you know…sharing is giving..hehehe..) said that
if he uses this product with Etude House’s AC Clinic White-Trouble Bubble
Cleanser, his pimples just dry up overnight.
And so THE VERDICT:
On
a scale of 10 with 10 being the highest, I’d rate this 8 out 10. It could have
been higher but then using the product is kind of messy for me.
