Etude House Baking Powder BB Deep Cleansing Foam

Etude House
Baking Powder BB Deep Cleansing Foam
Price: $19.80

Pros: Gentle scrub, scent, not drying, lathers easily
Con: None

I was trying to top up to my bill in order to get their lifetime membership card and this product was recommended to me by the salesgirl.

Though this is a scrub, it's very fine and suitable for everyday use. It does not cause my skin to feel dry.

I use it every morning and I believe this tube can last for at least a year as just a small amount of it will produce lots of bubbles =D

Its scent reminds me of Mentos lime sweet.. haha

After using it for 1 week, I feel that my skin skin became softer. more tender =)

Yes, I will definitely repurchase this product again as it is is not drying though it is a scrub. =)

Price: $2.80 (Swanston)

 

Pros: Cheap, able to remove whiteheads, fragrant
Cons: To strong, big microbes

I like the fragrant of this scrub. It is effective in removing whiteheads around the mouth (which I always have).

However, I don't really like this product as it leaves my skin tight and squeaky after wash... too drying.

I will not purchase this product again. Perhaps, this product is more suitable for people who likes the "squeaky clean" feeling.

Price: ~$10.90

Pros: Decent scrub
Cons: Drying

I bought the all the 3 products in this series, hoping to see real improvement in my pores as it had advertisements on tv, brochures and magazines, with statistics showing that this really helps in pore size. I thought since they are spending so much on advertisements, this product should effective and statistics should be reliable.

For one month, I used this scrub daily, as a cleanser as there is no cleanser in the series. I realised that using it daily is too harsh for my skin, so I decided to use it 2-3 times a week. 

I personally feel that this product is just like a normal scrub as it does the same as other scrubs - remove dead skin and white heads. After scrubbing, skin feels softer, cleaner and smoother.

But again, I didn't see any visible effect on the pore size. I will purchase this if there is no other better scrubs for me, but I will not have high hopes on the pore minimizing effect.
