I usually don't like Tony moly's skincare products. They often contain alcohol, fragrance, dyes, and so on. This one is not an exception. But even though I am trying to avoid those kind of negative ingredients, I received a sample a long time ago, before I even knew how to read ingredient labels and I felt in love ever since.
Packaging
I think it was my first self foaming cleanser. I find it quite practical and super fast. I always use my hands or a foaming net to foam my usual foaming cleanser, but this is so much faster. (But less fun?)

First impressions
As I said, when you're in a rush, or you just want to sleep ASAP, this is pretty practical. The scent is pretty herbal but nothing too strong I think. I don't like herbal scent, but since it was quite light I did not mind. I was looking for a very gentle cleanser and I was not disappointed. It was very gentle, my face did not felt tight after slightly patting my skin dry. I used two pumps every morning and night. Now when I used the foam my impressions were not that it is was "creamy" even less "rich" foam.The foam isn't super thick, I dissolves quite easily. This is the main let down to this cleanser.
Did I like It?
I bought it because I was looking for a low PH cleanser. So I looked at reddit.com/r/AsianBeauty thread, the savior. There is a list of cleanser with their PH, though since the measures are personal, they are not exact. It scored a 6.5 PH with my own PH strips, which I'd say a very acceptable, though it is close to my personal limit. As I said the foam wasn't exceptional but this was expected since the foaming agents, AKA surfactants (often Sodium Laureth sulfate) often raise the PH, so here they avoided it copletely.
Note: 4/5 I had no problem finishing it but the foam disappears too quickly, the bottle ended quite quickly and the smell is not the best for me. This is not a bad pick, just not for me.
Would I repurchase? Probably not, but I liked the self foaming part.
Packaging
The packaging is pretty basic, nothing much to say about it. However for some unknown reason, although both bottle are the exact same somehow the Apple Cleansing oil was leaking the whole time I used it at the base of the pump. Ugh, WHY. I could have transferred the remaining oil into the other bottle but I didn't, I'm just THAT lazy.
Before I start with the review I would like to apologize if this review ends up being a comparison between this cream and the Mizon one. The truth is : once you have found your holy grail, you just can't avoid comparing every single cream to it. Moreover the creams are very close in terms of ingredients, aims and claims so it was inevitable that I would compare them. I hope you will like my review anyway.
