ANUA Hydrating Gentle Foaming Cleanser (150ml/5.07fl oz.)

This is the first time that I try an ANUA product and I'm very pleased with it. This is excellent value for money due to the large size,  and to the fact that a small amount goes a long way. As per the instructions, I put a small amount of product in my hands, add a bit of water,  foam it, and then wash my face. It foams beautifully and easily. This cleanser has the texture of thick butter so I have to push it out strongly for the product to come out. The product is very gentle on my skin and I really love the results. This is a replacement from my average well-known economic brand, and I'm happy with the switch because it might cost a bit more but at least I'm buying from a Korean company that is not a multinational corporation without a conscience.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water in Oil 400ml

I'm not a fan of the simple version Micellar water, but I'm a fan of this one due to the mix of water and oil. I use it all over my face, on my eyes and lips included. I have a slightly sensitive skin and I've had no signs of irritation in the long time I've been using it. This product removes my makeup wonderfully, water-proof mascara and lipstick included. It is not as good on waterproof mascara as other purpose-made cleaners, but it's still excellent. I have an age, and it works wonderfully on my skin.

 

I don't use the product straight out of the bottle. I shake the bottle and immediately, when the water and the oil are still mixed together, I squeeze a good amount of liquid into a recycled refillable spray bottle that I have from a lenses cleaner product. When I want to use it, I shake the small spray water and, when both liquids are mixed, I spray the product twice onto a makeup cotton pad, and then clean my face with the pad. In this way, the quantity of product I use is minimal, no waste, but it's enough to remove my makeup. As I use it this way, a bottle lasts me ages and it's great value for money.
