I finally gotten round doing this review on I heart Cosmetics soapwort cream cleanser.. I've been using this for the past 1.5 weeks and look how much I've used! Hee..~

One of the things to note is that I’m terribly sensitive, especially to Optiphen/Optiphen plus. And this product does contain Optiphen plus as a preservative. I’m not going to lie and say it doesn’t sting when I use it.. BUT if you do not leave it on for a long time.. I will say its bearable. AND I bought this knowing that it contains Optiphen plus as a preservative.

With this aside, lets get down to the review.. Firstly, it’s amazing for a cream cleanser.. It feels so luxurious on skin. And smells quite yummy in a natural/earthy way.

I use it to remove my makeup.. Since some days, I would only put on a light layer of foundation and some blush.. I will say it does an amazing job of removing everything. On the days when I do wear sunblock (I don’t skip sunblock on purpose. REALLY! =P), it still does a good job of removing almost everything and unclogging my pores. However, I would also use Classy Minerals/MMBB’s AHA exfo cleanser to ensure everything is removed.

To note, I always double cleanse. It’s hardwired into my genes. I’m a clean freak.. I can’t help it but to double cleanse even though my skin feels clean.

After washing off, it doesn’t leave behind any greasy residue or anything. It doesn’t contain a lot of ingredients to it (hurray for that as I strongly advocate less is more!) and its lovingly made by our geminisc. =P

Would I repurchase? I’m still hold out on that. So far, it’s one of the best makeup removal product I have on hand. It doesn’t dry me out, smells amazing, feels oh so good.. What more can I ask for? Okay, I could ask for it to be Optiphen free I guess. LOL~ I doubt its really possible at this point in time. But the stinging sensation is somewhat uncomfortable even though bearable.

So that’s it.. I shall be nice and leave a teeny bit for Frond/Jo to sample. Heee.. For those interested (and I strongly you suggest to try it), she’s having her birthday sale now! Cream cleansers are sold for only USD$8.50! Click yourselves one!

wow.. sounds very interesting.
like you I always double cleanse even in the mornings. My face feels so much better after I started doing that. :)
thank you for being willing to save a teeny little bit for me to give it a try. :P

Wow, sounds nice!

Btw, I got your package this week. It was repackaged because the product spilled and destroyed the mailer envelope while still in Singapore. That's probably the cause for delay in my getting the pkg.

There's still a lot left in the bottle. Thank you so much!
