REVIEW: FANCL Washing Powder

~AG~

FANCL is a Japanese brand that is known for its preservative-free products in Asia. I bought FANCL Washing Powder when my skin was temperamental and needed a gentle face wash. I've always wanted to try the washing powder because of how interestingly it works. It is bottled powder face wash then becomes foamy when in contact with water. 

WASHING POWDER has a unique Perfect Cleansing Sensor which effectively removes dirt without stripping your skin of its natural and essential moisture, leaving it soft and moist.New Amino Hybrid Technology formulation makes it easier and faster to create creamy and dense foam which lifts dirt and impurities more effectively and prevents dirt from redepositing onto the skin.

HOW TO USE FOAMING BALL (Image Below): 

Using the foaming ball to create foam, which you have to pay additional for. But you can also create foams without the foaming ball. 

HOW TO CREATE FOAMS WITH HANDS: 

First, wash hands and throughly wet face. 
Pour a quarter size of washing powder onto the palm of your hands.

Add a tablespoon of water to the washing powder.

Use fingers to foam up the washing powder by mixing it in a circular motion

Continue until foam is dense

THE GOOD

• Fun to use, with some water the powder turns to foam
• Is not scented
• Skin does feel smoother after use, because of the amino acid properties
• No adverse reactions on my sensitive combination skin
• Easy to travel with
• One bottle lasted me for more than 3 months. 

THE BAD

• Does not clean as well. You will need to use cleansing oil beforehand to remove sunscreen & makeup
• Not a drugstore priced face wash - S$15 for 25 g of product
• If you like the squeaky clean feeling after washing your face , this is not the face wash product for you.
• Only readily available in Asia.
