Skinfood Green Tea Bubble Cleansing Foam: A Review
RATING: 3/5
BACKGROUND STORY =) : Before coming across this product, I really struggled with acne for at least 3 years in college and just a year ago, I vowed to start using as much natural/organic products as possible because I felt like my skin was too harassed by all the products I used to get rid of my pimples (to no avail, mind you). That was when I came across the Korean brand, SKINFOOD. I absolutely love their products because it does feel like I'm just feeding my skin with all-nutritious stuff!
MY TWO CENTS' WORTH: In all fairness, this product really helped clear up my skin! I still get the occasional pimple here and there but this product was one of the main reasons why I don't have a pimple on my face 24/7 anymore. I used this product along with Skinfood Parsley and Mandarin Toner.
WOULD I REPURCHASE?: I am eternally grateful but I'm just not a BUBBLE foam kind of gal. I just like the normal, good ol' foam because with the bubble one, I feel like my skin isn't as clean as it could be with a normal foam. I guess it's a NO for me.
Plus, just recently, I found out that their products contain parabens!! How did I not know this before? How did I not research on this? The only thing they do is use natural ingredients in each of their products... they don't really claim to be 100% natural, do they? Jeez.
Read my post on Skinfood Parsley and Mandarin Toner and you'll see a link to a paraben-related article. Or you could just do your own research and be in the know.
WOULD I RECOMMEND?: There are better ones out there, ones that do not contain parabens and other potentially harmful stuff.
Now, this is important...
I found out my skin looks better if I use several different brands of products every once in a while instead of sticking to one. So while I was using this as my facial cleanser, I was also using a bunch of other facial cleansers from Human Nature, Garnier, Pond's, and the one from my recent trip to the dermatologist BUT only once every two days. It did help clear up my skin but now that I know better than to expose myself to parabens, I'm off to search for my new facial wash :)

Hey,
I discovered your blog while googling for a review on this product. I've only been using this foam for 2 weeks now and I can see good result. Unlike you, I really like the foam texture as my skin is more on the oily side. ;)
I respect your decision to go all-organic but personally, I find it difficult to 100% convert myself as a naturalist. Generally, organic products are expensive & don't last long *cough*cough*LUSH* So I kind turn a blind eye about all those parabens in my poducts. ;p
Hey Hanna! It's nice to hear that it's working for you! :)
I know, it is really hard to do a total conversion. :( I still use some products that contain parabens because they really work for me (Skinfood Peach BB cream, etc). But I'm always on the lookout for some awesome and fairly-priced organic products. If you ever come to the Philippines, you might want to try Human Heart Nature Products, they are fairly-priced and some of their products that I have tried are doing good jobs :)
Thanks for your reply
Ur from the Philipines? Cool! Id love to try out what beauty products from other countries have to offer. I do like Skinfood but i gotta say their products are not really that effective. But credits have to be given to their good customer service! ;-)
Yup! :) That's true about Skinfood. I kinda like their packaging and the smell of their products. :) Whether or not I like a product actually depends big time on whether or not I like the smell. :)
