The Face SHop Clean Face White

As per my last post, my friend bought two products on The Face Shop and got a facial treatment voucher which was used by me. Thanks to her for giving me such pampering moment.

At this chance, I make her to share reviews on the products. Before going too far, let’s call her Chihiro (the real name is not publicized due to her request).

What products do you have?
Acne Solution Foam Cleanser and Post-Acne Brightening Serum. Both of them are included in The Face Shop Clean Face White line.

What it used for?
Based on explanation of sales advisor I got during a visit, The Clean Face White series is a line which is developed as an improvement of the Quick and Clean line. It is formulated to treat severe acne and post-acne marks. The line included:
  • Post-Acne Nighttime Spot Eraser
  • White Intensive Blemish Clear Patch
  • Post-Acne Brightening Serum
  • Acne Solution Foam Cleanser

The foam cleanser doesn’t only acts to cleanse the skin; it reduces sebum excretion and kills acne bacteria. While the serum is meant to remove dead skin cells and promote a faster skin cell turnover cycle, inhibit formation of melanin and brighten skin. Besides, it also helps reduce sebum, prevent inflammation and get rid the acne-causing bacteria

The foam cleanser is stored in tube packaging 150ml, while the serum is in bottle with pump 40ml

Your skin type please?
Oily combination, acne prone, some acne scars scattered.

Now let’s talk about the product in detail.
Texture of the foam cleanser is white creamy, while the serum comes in discolored sheer glutinous liquid.
The foam cleanser feels so soft when applied to the face. It produces sufficient amount of bubbles with mild green tea scent.
The serum seems like water based formulated. No greasy feeling and instantly soothes the skin. It feels a bit cool when applied.

Direction to Use
Squeeze proper amount of the foam cream onto palm. Apply to the damp face with circular motion to make bubbles. Rinse off with water. Dry up face with clean towel. Instead of wiping the towel off, dabbing the towel is more recommended by
Chihiro. If you have oily skin type, wiping the towel on the skin surface will activate the sebum thus your skin will be oilier.

Why it is different with Quick & Clean Mild Foam wash?
The Quick & Clean’s foam wash is suited for oily skin with occasional breakouts while Clean Face White’s foam cleanser is more to be a medicated cleanser for oily skin with persistent acne.

Now we go through the serum usage instruction.
Pump the bottle out to get proper amount of the serum. Apply by dotting in some areas and then spread it out to the whole face using your fingertips. The serum is absorbed quickly and doesn’t lead to greasiness. It gives matte look.

The serum is to be used at day or night, but the sales advisor recommended Post-Acne Nighttime Spot Eraser as night regime. Chihiro has not bought the spot eraser yet. It is quiet pricey.

Chihiro uses the serum independently as her moisturizer. No additional face cream included. And the result is ……

Result (by intense usage)
  • After 3 weeks the skin tone becomes more even.
  • Reduce the red blotches
  • Fade out the acne scars
  • Less oilier

Cons
Less impact on acne preventing


What next?
Want to buy the complete line hahaha

Didn't do much on me. Had to stop using this due to doctor's prescription. :(

@Fifi, ya I ever read your post about Clean Face White series. Seems like it gives no positive impact for you. In my opinion, the obvious impact on Chihiro is partly affected for she is a newbie in treatment. About the tag, thank you so much ^-^ I appreciate it so much!!

do i have to rinse off by water the sebum?

mapple said...

@anonymous sebum is the oily layer in the skin. When we use cleansing foam, we cover our face with lather produced by the cleansing foam. The lather will dissolve sebum, dirt, and anything else that sit on your face and make it easier to remove them away when we rinse it off with water
