[Review] The Face Shop x Kakao Talk Aloe Cleansing Foam (Muzi)

Hello everyone,

Naturally, I want to review a few products from this collaboration series and have three reviews for everyone!

Product description: The foam cleanser removes impurities with a soft and mild foam that contains Aloe and Herb extracts, leaving the skin neat and fresh.

How to apply: Apply a quarter size amount onto fingertip and gently massage around the face (to neck, depending on your preference.

Product texture: Creamy (Aloe) foam cleanser, becomes a luscious foam with ease.


Scent: Lightweight Aloe scent, personally my favorite scent of the three, clearly an artificial scent but tolerable.

Personal experience: This product isn't all that bad, though just an ordinary cleansing foam that is quite nice. My experience with the other two cleansing foams were no more than sub-par, all of these cleansing foams have an artificial scent (fragrance) to them. I'm not a big fan of that, though I did personally enjoy the Aloe scent of this cleansing foam, after leaving it in the fridge and utilizing my clarisonic for a deeper cleanse, I don't notice much besides a very minimal (basic, decent) cleanse. The product isn't overly drying, and it happens to be the most moisturizing of the other two cleansing foams of this collaboration series.

Going into the use of this product, I knew the Aloe was meant to especially moisturize, after confirming in the ingredients - nothing more than that.

I have enjoyed using this product primarily for the scent and the fact it doesn't dry my skin after cleansing, however, I won't be repurchasing it since I'll be needing a bit of a deeper cleanse for my everyday life.

Not much in a difference in my skin long term, though what more can one expect from a cleansing foam, especially one that is a repackaged model and extremely cheap in South Korea.

This Aloe cleansing foam has a much better scent than the strange bubble gum like scent of the Naive (Aloe) cleansing foam that I purchased while in Japan. Not to mention, they both have the same cleansing foam qualities, seriously. . I spent about $9 (discount, originally $12 USD in store) just for this cleansing foam while the Naive one was only $3 USD.

Product price: $12.00 USD

Ingredients: Water/EAU, Myristic Acid, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Sorbitol, Glycol Distearate, Lauric Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Bark Extract, Saponaria Officinalis Leaf Extract, Alchemical Vulgaris Extract, Salvia Disodium EDTA, Hydropropyl Methylcelluse, Yellow 5 (Cl 19140), Blue 1 (Cl 42090)
Product rating: 2.5/5

Final thoughts: I bought it for the packaging alone, and I wasn't impressed with the overall quality of the product.

I wouldn't repurchase this, but it's a good use of decoration in my bathroom.

To be honest, I certainly overpaid for these cleansers, though I also bought them to write a review for your personal interest and benefit.

This foam cleanser is what I would consider the bare minimum, a basic foaming cleanser and it performs very similar to the Naive (Japan) Aloe (COMING SOON, click here to read this blog entry) and Peach (COMING SOON, click here to read this blog entry) foam cleanser, which I bought for about 300 ¥.
