[Review] The Face Shop x Kakao Talk Lemon Cleansing Foam (Neo)

Hello everyone,

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

The Face Shop x Kakao Friend Lemon Cleansing Foam (Neo)
On the farthest right, Neo Lemon Cleansing Foam.
Product description: The foam cleanser removes impurities with a soft and mild foam that contains Lemon and Herb extracts, leaving the skin neat and fresh.

How to apply: Dispense a moderate amount and apply liberally throughout the skin. 

Product texture: Creamy, rich lather (foam) product. 
Scent: Mild citrus scent, very tart.

Personal experience: I actually noticed the most apparent results with this cleanser, though it still wasn't anything very extraordinary. Considering the Acerola cleanser claims to have AHA, I figured that would actually be the best of the bunch, sadly that wasn't the case.

I was a bit underwhelmed using this cleanser until about the fourth day of use, I finally began to notice my skin appeared more vibrant and less dull. However, after seeing that actually changing my skin once, I never really noticed it making it brighter from that particular moment and forward.

I ended up with a method, since this product is naturally acidic, I knew it was going to be a bit drying so here was my minor solution: Lemon cleaner one day, follow with the Aloe Cleanser the next day, switch and repeat with each passing day.

I did notice this helped my skin from excessively drying, and I figured this was my best use of the product since the Lemon cleansing foam was quite drying.

I know most cleansers tend to dry out the skin a bit, though all of these cleansers (with a minor exception for the Aloe cleansing foam) are a bit too drying for the price that I paid.

Product price: $12 USD (In store, much cheaper online) 

Ingredients: Water/EAU, Myristic Acid, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Sorbitol, Glycol Distearate, Lauric Acid, Citrus Medica Limonum (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Bark Salvia Officinalis (sage) Leaf Etract, Parfum/Fragrance, Butylene Glycol, Disodium EDTA, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Yellow 5 (Cl 19140)

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 the blog visitors from around the world.

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 (click here to read this blog entry) and Peach (click here to read this blog entry) foam cleanser, which I bought for about 300 ¥.
