Etude House Happy Tea Time Cleansing Cream (Lemon Tea) REVIEW

Product claim (according to Etude House website):

Vitalizing cleansing cream with lemon tea extract.

REVIEW:

Product: This product is a thick cream that smells citrus-y. The scent is very invigorating and perks you up, which is a good thing when you’re feeling sleepy and lazy to remove all your makeup. It kinda reminds me of my mom’s Pond’s cold cream. It has almost the same consistency, and also the same greasy film residue. It removes makeup fairly well. 

Application: I suggest you wipe this off with wet wipes, or you can also remove it with regular tissue and then take away the greasiness by cleansing with an alcohol-free toner. For the cleanest feel, just wash it off with facial wash. However, this last option can be drying to your skin so just apply moisturizer afterwards.

Tip: To avoid contamination that may lead to breakouts (since the jar is big and takes a long time to consume), use a scoop or spatula to get the product.

Verdict: The product claims to be vitalizing, which I agree with, but overall, I’m not impressed with it. I feel that there are better makeup removers out there, whether it’s from another line of cleansers from Etude House, or from other brands. The search is still on for my HG makeup remover. :) Please suggest good makeup removers in the comments.  Thanks! :)
