H2O Says:
An oil-free cleanser that foams away makeup and surface impurities while soothing the skin with Microencapsulated Softening Beads, Acacia, and Hydrating Marine Blend.

  • Formulated with microencapsulated softening beads to leave skin clean, clear and refreshed without stripping or drying
  • Acacia helps soothe irritated skin, clarifying tone and texture
  • Sea Mineral Complex helps maximize the delivery of hydrating marine extracts, including wakame, sea fennel and sea lettuce, which help maintain the skin's natural moisture balance at the cellular level
Key Element:
Microencapsulated Softening Beads: Tiny exfoliating spheres that glide across the skin’s surface to gently remove dull cells and soften skin’s texture. 

Acacia: Extracted from the pods of the African Acacia tree, this botanical extract helps soothe irritated skin.  

Hydrating Marine Blend: A triple-powered synthesis of marine botanicals that optimizes skin’s moisture balance while bolstering free radical resistance.
  • Wakame: Brown kelp energizes skin’s natural functions and recharges tone
  • Sea Lettuce: Dewy yellow-green leaves cultivated from the coast of Brittany, France; supports skin-firming collagen and elastin
  • Fennel: Waxy green ribbons abundant along rocky English sea cliffs; empowers skin to resist aging environmental damage

Nett Wt: 30ml
Texture: Jelly
Scent: Fresh sea breeze
Colour: White
Price: n/a - part of a set purchase, all deluxe sample size.

To keep this review short - I am not keen to repurchase the full size of this cleanser. I use this at the gym, on days where I don't wear full foundations / BB Creams. 

As a basic cleanser (morning use) I find no fault with it. But in the evening, this is not enough for a thorough cleansing, ridding all the makeup residue.
As its texture is of jelly type, it does not foam. It feels like slathering on aloe vera gel on the face...


So, for its price with just very basic cleansing power I don't think it is worth a repurchase..

Texture: Gel
Scent: Like sea breeze
Nett Wt: 8ml (sample)
Color: Blue
I got this in a set together with the facial wash, body wash, and a pouch. At 8ml, it is easy to carry this around, so I popped this into my gym bag. After workout I'll usually remove my makeup and wash my face in the shower.

I apply this after shower, without toner. I find the scent really refreshing and initially feel rather sticky. Minutes after, it was gone. But so is the hydrating properties.
Shortly after application, about when I have my dinner; I didn't feel like my skin is moisturized. Rather disappointing though.
