So it's kinda surprised me when I saw the package is from Mineral Botanica. They sent me their new product, Mineral Botanica Brightening Series Foaming Facial Wash. They said this product is gonna be available in all the counter on January 2017, so I got this product just a little early. Thank you so much Mineral Botanica.
As all of you know Mineral Botanica is a company from Indonesia that made natural and mineral-based products, they claim all of their products are halal, paraben-free and cruelty-free, not only their skincare products but also their makeup line.
I personally love this brand, I use their powder, lipstick, lipcream, bb cream, eyeliner and body lotion. All of them have a very good quality, they don't break me out, and the most important thing is their price range!! At least my husband doesn't rise his eyebrows whenever I bought MiCa product.
Back to this new facial wash, there aren't many explanation about it on the MiCa official instagram or facebook page, so I'm curious to try it. Reading the label, it said that it purifies, moisturizes, brightens the skin, it has pH balance, with 2in1 function, contains licorice extract and arbutin, and it suitable for all skin-type even the sensitive one. Who's not curious trying that, you know what I'm saying?
The packaging of this facial foam is actually really nice, it comes in a plastic bottle contains a 100ml of product which for me is very generous, because I usually used up a tube of my facial wash which is only 50ml in 2 months or so, so this baby might be lasts me about 3 or 4 months, maybe 5, who knows.. It has pump with clear plastic cap. Not too big, so it's still travel friendly. Sadly, the label is in form of sticker, which is not waterproof, so I guess all the product infos that printed on the label is gonna get blurry and peeled off very soon. Please please Mineral Botanica, make the labeling printed on the bottle like you did with your soft matte lipcream, because this is the product that we suppose to put in our bathroom and it gets wet all the time.
The formula is unique, for me mainly because I never use foaming facial wash before, it comes in the form of foam, as the name, I can't describe any further, because foam is foam, it's not liquidy, not creamy, it's foamy. I'm a bit skeptical at first, so I took two pumps when I used it for the first time, ignoring all the instructions on the label, and the result is like all of you can guess, I took too much. So later on, I only use one pump, it's enough for washing all over my face. It has a faint citrusy smell, like orange-y, kind of refreshing, not overpowering, so it won't linger in your nose. It left my skin feels clean and refreshed without tight and drying feeling which I really like. One thing that I notice after using this product for about a week now, my pore, especially on my nose area is tighter, and all of my blackheads are gone, I always have blackheads on my nose that I rip off with peel off mask once a week but with this facial foam, I don't necessarily feel like I need to do that. Like the other products of Mineral Botanica, this baby is also doesn't break me out. I can't say anything about the brightening effect, because I only use this for a week or so, and I don't rely on brightening my skin just by a facial wash anyway..
Unfortunately, it can't clean my makeup thoroughly. I tried to wash my face with my makeup on once, and it didn't take away my bb cream, eyeliner and brows completely, I still need to use my micellar water afterwards. So, it's good as the first step, second step or third step cleanser, not an all in one kind of cleanser. But, if you're not that kind of person, you know, like me who use makeup everyday, this is for you, because it can take away all of the dirt, the dust, the oil, all of dumps our pollute air put on our skin, perfectly.
So overall this is a very great face wash, I will continue using it, and the price won't break your wallet! As Mineral Botanica said in their instagram, this product will retail at Rp 39.900 and will available in all of their counter in January, and they also said with every purchase of this facial wash, you will also get free 60ml fragrance mist, while stock lasts.
Made in Indonesia
Price Rp 39.900
Will I repurchase ? Of course I do, if I can get my hands on this baby after I used it up, because honestly it's kinda hard to get a hold of Mineral Botanica products here in Medan, please Mineral Botanica make them full stock!!
Lastly, thank you so much for reading and commenting (if you do..)
Love,
