I think most of you already know that some of my makeup, skincare and hair care products are from Althea Korea, currently no.1 K-Beauty online portal that has the best price policy and authenticity guarantee on every products selling on their website.
Not long ago, they started The Althea Brand which caters to beauty lovers who likes good products with lower price. I've introduced quite a few of Althea Exclusives products on my social platforms so you can see them here, here, here and this youtube video I made.
Althea Exclusives latest addition on their skincare products is the Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser.
When I first got this I was like "how do I use this? It looks like serum and cleanser at the same time, so what is it!!!" And after reading the description and use it for a while, I truly understand the meaning of "Serum Cleanser".
This serum-like cleanser combines both effects of serum and cleanser (very confusing I know). It's combining the best of both world to ensure skin stays hydrated while we're doing the cleansing. A lot of cleanser strips away the moisture of skin when cleansing, leaving skin feeling tight and dehydrated. With Althea's Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser, my skin feels restored to its natural state!
Mainly made of mint leaf extract, jojoba seed oil and tea tree leaf extract, this cleanser cools down my skin and soothes irritations, moisturises my skin while it's doing the cleansing and purify my skin with its anti-bacterial agents. It removes dirt and dead skin cell without causing any irritations.
There are 2 ways to use Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser:
- Hand (light makeup days)
- Cotton Pad + Hand (heavy makeup days)
I've used both method (depending on my makeup situation) and I was surprised how easily it is for this serum cleanser to remove my waterproof eyeliner + mascara!
First, I'm gonna show you the heavy makeup removing method using cotton pad:
2. Gently place soaked cotton pad on your eye makeup. Rubbing is not needed.
3. Voila! My eye makeup comes off just like that!
But there's one thing that I'm not sure of is the ph level. Usually when ph level is balanced (not acidic not alkalic), the products won't be eye stinging. However when I remove my eye makeup, the products stung my eyes badly and I had to rinse my eyes with running water. Was wondering anyone encounter the same issues as I do? It does not cloud my eyes like some remover does but it does hurt a bit tho.
After remove my eye makeup, then I dampen my face and proceed with applying small amount of serum cleanser on my skin, gently massage in circular movement before rinsing it off my face with water.
When I first pour the serum cleanser out onto my palm, I was amazed by the texture. It's not oil and it's not water, to be exact the serum cleanser feels lightweight than oil but heavier than water! I guess that's the dual moisture cell system that locks the serum in the cleanser, giving it a special texture that I can't find words to describe. (I spent quite some time playing with the serum actually because of its cute feeling texture hahahahahahah)
I love the after feeling of using Pore Purifying Serum Cleanser. My skin feels refreshed, purified and moisturised at the same time that I MIGHT notice that my enlarged pores are somewhat not that visible. Is it my illusion I wonder? I think I might need to continue using this product to see if my pores are actually getting smaller!
