Gold Sakura Hinoki Deitanseki Facial Cleansing Foam with Charcoal and Hinoki Oil- Review

Gold Sakura Facial Cleansing Foam from the Hinoki Deitanseki Line is a lovely creamy foam cleanser that deeply cleans the skin, but leaves it soft and supple--not stripped or taut. Facial Cleansing Foam gently absorbs impurities which helps to improve the complexion, and the result is clean and sumptuously soft skin.

Product features:
-Light and silky consistency
-Creamy foam
-Beautiful silver color
-Natural Hinoki cypress scent
-Wood charcoal micro particles
-Softening benefits of Glycerin and Olive fruit oil
-Economical – a small amount needed to create rich lather.
-Daily use – great for everyday cleansing and light make-up removal.
-Great Travel Companion – perfect size and convenient packaging.

According to Gold Sakura, "Charcoal works like a magnet, drawing out and absorbing impurities to leave your skin clean and rejuvenated. Vegetable Glycerin helps to maintain skin’s moisture balance and makes skin soft. Silky, rich lather forms a cushion between your skin and hands to avoid unnecessary rubbing. Refreshing and soothing scent of Hinoki cypress oil reminds of walks in the forest and can boost your mood."

This is a very concentrated cleanser- it really only takes the smallest amount in order to build a lovely rich lather. This cleanser is also a fantastic companion to my beloved Clarisonic- this combination really means business when it comes to removing all traces of makeup and grime buildup from being out and about. My combination skin really feels fantastic and unbelievably clean when I use this cleanser. The Kaolin clay really does wonders for drawing out the impurities, but it remains remarkably gentle. However, the Kaolin may cause this cleanser to be a bit too active for people with dry and very dry skin to use it twice daily.

Directions: Using lukewarm water, work into a rich lather in your palms. Wash face with this luxurious rich lather and then rinse thoroughly.
