REVIEW: IT'S SKIN SKIN HEALTHENING 5 CEREALS CLEANSING FOAM

As much as I love It's Skin Power 10 line, I seriously dislike their cleansers because they are either too gentle or too drying. It's Skin Skin Healthening 5 Cereals Cleansing Foam belongs to the latter category. 

Description: This soft feathery cleansing foam deeply cleanses impurities and make-up deep inside the skin pores leaving fresh and radiant look. It contains high-quality five cereals extract to strengthen weakened skin for hydrated and vital look.

Size: 180ml

Price: 335,000 VND (about US$16)

My opinion: First of all, the smell is too overpowering for my liking. I rarely have problems with scents but I absolutely hate it. This cleansing foam contains actual sesame (?) seeds in it, but you won't feel them on your skin at all.

And please DON'T use that much. A pea-sized amount is more than enough for the whole face.

At first, I combined this with Tonymoly Pore Cleansing Brush and the combo dried out my skin like nobody's business within 1 month. After that, I used the cleanser alone and it literally made my skin PEEL! It was so drying and gave me that squeaky-clean feeling which I absolutely hate. Ironically, this is supposed to make the skin become healthier and more hydrated, but as time passes, it actually WEAKENS and DEHYDRATES my skin! It's less drying than Tonymoly Clean Dew Tea Tree Seed Foam Cleanser, but still too much for me to handle. I have combination skin with an oily T-zone and normal/easily dehydrated cheeks, and I can't stand this product, so those with dry skin may want to think twice before buying this. Another con is that it's so hard to squeeze the product out, so after 3 months, the tube looks like this even though there's still loads of product left:

I've stopped using this product completely and passed it on to my dad. He's not the type to pamper himself with skincare products, but recently, his skin gets so oily after cycling, to the point that washing his face with water and a flannel isn't enough, so I give him this cleanser. He neither likes or hates it, but says that it cleanses his skin well without drying his skin out (and he doesn't use any moisturizers, mind you). So I guess this product may be suitable with people with super oily skin. A tube can last for up to 6 months, so it's good value for money.

Pros:

- Cleanse the skin well

- Last for a long time

Cons: 

- Overpowering scent

- Dry my skin out

Repurchase?: Hell no!
