REVIEW: Daiso Gentle Charcoal Makeup Remover

Hello, this is review #2 for the day because I feel bad for neglecting this blog :(
I will be reviewing Daiso's charcoal makeup remover. This is one of the items I bought a while back when I went to Canada at a Yoko yaya store. I heard it is like the brother/sister store of Daiso. They do cost a bit more than Daiso though. This cost me $2 CAD.

In a honesty, I rarely, if ever put on makeup, so this is pretty much useless for me, but I have been at awe with charcoal products and because they did not sell the charcoal face mask I dearly wanted, I just had to buy this as a redemption. Once again, this is made in Korea if anyone wants to know.  

Directions: 

-squeeze proper amount of the cleansing on hand and wipe out with tissue. we recommend a charcoal cleansing foam which is bought separately after using it. 

Well, I did say that I rarely use makeup but I do put on bb cream occasionally. I decided to put the test to my hand ( i did try it on my face, but it was somewhat hard to tell the difference, probably my lighting, so i did my hand instead) 

Ta-da! My hand, splotched with way too much bb cream (it was an accident) If anyone wants to know for any particular reason, I used Skin79, the hot pink bottle. 

and then: 

Here comes the makeup remover! It is light gray in color and the smell is quite pleasant actually. 

applied onto the left side of my hand~ 

and the results: 

Notice the great difference! My hand on the left turned back to normal and is rid of the bb cream compared to the right side. 

oh and evidence that it really does work: 

look at all that bb cream wiped off! 

And yes please note that no water was used in the process of using this product. all you have to do is smear it on and wipe it off immediately, no need to wait or anything. 

Though, the tip they gave on the bottle was pretty true: we recommend a charcoal cleansing foam which is bought separately after using it. 

my hand was pretty glossy and shiny after removing the bb cream and a bit too oily too. i think using their cleansing foam, or even any cleansing foam you have will help rid of the oils. I did not buy their cleansing foam though, but I used my own cleansing foam. 

And of course I did try it on my face on one side just to see if it had the same results and it did. my face was super oily after wiping off the make up though, but it felt great after i used my cleanser. I must say that the side of my face that I used the makeup remover felt softer after using the cleanser compared to my other side of the face that i did not use the cleanser. and yes, all oily-ness was gone after using a cleanser. 

great makeup remover, just a bit of a hassle that you have to use it first, then use a cleanser, but I guess it is good in a way that it makes your face cleaner  :)
