I finally finished this cleanser

Laneige multi cleanser EX, this brand is in the same cluster of beauty companies that Amorepacific belongs to, by the way.

What is Laneige?
Laneige is a Korean brand that prides itself in bringing moisture and radiance back to skin. They have several products that cater to several skin problems, and skin types. I quote:

"Sparkle My Way. Beauty that shines everyday in my unique way"

I like that. It's their way of saying that healthy skin shines.

What is this product?
This is multi cleanser, meaning it can be used to remove makeup, sunscreen, and dead skin cells. I receive this as a prize from a giveaway I had entered some time ago.

Consistency:
It’s thick, and not a “sticky”/watery type of cleanser. There are some that are seeps-out-of-the-tube-if-you-leave-it-standing-on-its-cap kind of liquid. Did that make any sense? I hope it did

What it did does:
This removes light make up just fine, but for eye makeup, such as black eye liners, you may need an eye makeup remover. For heavy makeup, this would be best used as a second cleanse.

"Water, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Myristic Acid, Peg-32, Potassium Hydroxide, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Laureth-1 Phosphate, Cellulose, Lauric Acid, Lauryl Phosphate, Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Lauramide Dea, Fragrance, Disodium Edta, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Lactobacillus/Water Hyacinth Ferment, Mannitol, Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Papain, Peg-75"

Where to buy:
If you are interested in purchasing this cleanser, here in the US, Walmart is the place to go. You can also purchase this on this HERE.

My thoughts:
I had used as a second cleanser; it’s great for that purpose. This creates a really good foam lather, which is great for those with skin leaning towards the oilier side. For dry skin, I'm not sure this ok for you. After using this cleanser for a while, the drier parts of my face just looked..dry. No suppleness, or bounce. Thank goodness for essences and serums.

I'd like to try their other products, as well, because Laneige prides itself in have skincare that give women clear, radiant skin. I know there's one that caters to each skin type or problem. Anyway, I loved the emulsion and toner from the line, but this one is I will probably only purchase if I didn't have anything else. For me, it feels like it's missing something.
