This is a bubble-type foam cleanser; with its rich creamy foam and micro bubble particles, it deeply cleanses the pores, melting down impurities and skin trouble inducing substances. It also helps to regulate PH balancing and protect skin from harmful environment.
The following are the key ingredients:
- Propolis Extract gives an anti-bacterial effect and supplies nutrients to dehydrated skin, as well as helps to revitalize it.
- Pine Resin protects skin from external damage. It also helps to moisturize skin and improve skin texture.
- Natural Herbal Complex contains Tussilago Farfara (Coltsfoot) Flower, Asparagus Cochinchinensis Root and Laminaria Japonica extracts that provides antioxidant effect and helps to relieve skin troubles and irritation.
It has a 4-free system: Free of Paraben, Talc, Mineral Oil, Tar
What's more, it is non-comedogenic and clinically proven hypoallergenic!
The product comes in a plastic bottle with a pull-out (?) cap.
It has a smart pump dispenser that creates an airy, soft and fluffy foam. Cool, isn't it?
The micro-bubble particles penetrate and cleanse deeply into the pores, drawing out excess oil and dirt.
How To Use:
Pump out an adequate amount of foam on hands. Massage the bubble on face evenly then wash off with lukewarm water.
Tried and Tested + Verdict
As usual, let's put it into a test...
"Moisture + Oil Test"
on my forehead.
Here's the measurement guidelines for you to refer back to later:
*P.S. Analyzing Standards:
The standard value of moisture level is 38%++, 3-5 bars (normal to very moisturized).
The standard value of oiliness (skin type) is 3 bars (normal). - means balanced, which is neither too oily nor too dry.
The standard value of cells (roughness/softness) is average/soft.
BEFORE cleansing:
AFTER cleansing:
Skin's moisture decreased from 40% to 38%; remained at 3 bars.
Oiliness decreased from 5 bars to 4 bars.
Skin's cells (.aka. skin texture) remained average.
- *Results shown are after cleansing and before applying toner and moisturizer* -
The first thing I noticed was my skin didn't get that squeaky, tight feeling or irritation after cleansing. And it dried out my non-inflamed pimples in a few days, but it wasn't very effective against my inflamed pimples. Therefore, in my opinion, it is more effective against non-inflamed pimples like whiteheads, flesh-colored bumps.
Another thing I noticed was that this AC Clinic White-Trouble Bubble Cleanser gets used up faster than the AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser, even though they have the same amount of product (150ml). So it may be a bit costly lah. Side information: I usually use one pump and it is sufficient to cleanse my face.
Overall, the Etude House AC Clinic White-Trouble Bubble Cleanser cleanses the skin without overly stripping away the natural oils and moisture. I think it is by far the most gentlest acne cleanser I have ever come across. Ideal for sensitive skin! The only drawback is it's not very effective against inflamed acne.
If you have a lot of red inflamed pimples, I would recommend the AC Clinic Daily Acne Foam Cleanser instead of this bubble one. Pick this only if your pimples are mostly non-inflamed zits.
