These items were both purchased while I was in Japan, which is quite nice because this blog was mainly Korean cosmetics, and I'm always excited to try out new Japanese skin care products.

Personal experience: I can perfectly recall buying these products back in Japan, I honestly recall buying products on a last minute spring because I wanted to review more products for you all!
I am actually very glad that I did so, as this product has definitely been quite a pleasant surprise, though I didn't doubt it from the beginning for the record.
In fact, I was quite ecstatic at the thought of trying this product, it was so simplistic and the design was just quite right.
Honestly, it reminds me of Ouran High School Host Club aesthetic, lol.
This is a cleansing foam, meaning that it'll skip you the massaging like you would with a traditional cleansing foam. Instead, it'll create the foam version of the cleanser with just a simple pump, I generally put two pumps on one hand spread onto the other. From there, I just press on both sides of my cheeks and spread appropriately.
I generally skip the use of my Clarisonic in conjunction with this product, though technically speaking you can use that as well. I generally stick to using it with cleansing foams or gel cleansers only though, as I'm perhaps just too lazy to use with a bubble foam/cleansing foam/washing foam cleanse.
I love this especially when I'm taking a shower, gives me a simple cleanse without bothering my skin or drying it out. I've also used this cleanser after shaving on several times, and it doesn't feel very harsh even to freshly exposed skin.
I feel this product is really just a simplistic cleanser with a very pleasant scent, I don't have any complaints and I'm fond of the fact that this product is from Kose.
Aside from keeping my face from drying during a cleanse, I don't really seem any long term effects or brightening with this product.
I'm still using it to this day, and actually I picked up a refill of this product when I was in Japan, which fills up about 3/4th of the original product.
