Klairs Rich Moist Foaming Cleanser

I've been using this cleansing foam for the past month - mainly in my AM skincare routine but also a few times in my PM routine to see how well it removes the residue from my cleansing oil.

As you can see, the ingredients list is super long because this cleanser contains a bunch of extracts. It doesn't contain colorants, parabens, artificial fragrance or alcohol which makes it perfect for all skintypes including sensitive.

Main ingredients
Sodium Hyaluronate: Sodium Hyaluronate is derived from Hyaluronic Acid. It has the same benefits but Sodium Hyaluronate is absorbed more easily. Sodium Hyaluronate can hold 1.000 times its own weight in water which is why it has amazing moisture-binding abilities.
Tea Tree Leaf Oil: Tea Tree is a powerful ingredient. It's an antioxidant, it's anti-inflammatory and it helps troubled skin.
Licorice Root Extract:  This is also soothing, smoothing and anti-inflammatory.
Ceramide 3: This is moisturizing.

Packaging

This cleanser comes in a plastic bottle that contains 100 ml. On the bottle, there are claims, directions and ingredients written in English.

The only con about this packaging is that you can't see how much product you have left.

Texture and color

Due to this kind of pump, the product is already foaming when it comes out.

That makes it easy to spread out but it also makes it much more gentle because you don't have to rub your face to make it foam.
The foam looks like a white cloud and it is very soft.

Smell
It smells like tea tree. The thing about tea tree smell is that you either love it or hate it. I hate it. However, it doesn't bother me that much with cleansers because you wash it off relatively quickly and put on toner right after so the smell from the cleansing foam is replaced with the smell of your toner.

How to use
In AM routine: Apply water on your face. Pump product on your hands (I usually use two pumps) and massage onto your face using circular motions. Gently rinse off the product with luke-warm water.
In PM routine: After using an oil based cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen, use this cleanser. Same procedure as in AM routine.

Effects
This is probably the most gentle cleanser that I have ever used - my dry and slightly sensitive skin loves it. It doesn't irritate my skin in any way. After rinsing it off, my skin doesn't feel tight at all. My skin just feels soft and clean. When I use it in my PM skincare routine, it removes any residue from my oil cleanser effectively.
What I really enjoy about this (besides the fact that it's so gentle), is that the cleansing foam is already foam when it's pumped out of the bottle. It makes it so easy to use.

Pros
- It's hypo-allergenic.
- It doesn't contain alcohol or fragrance (the entire ingredients list is actually a pro).
- The cleansing foam is already foam when it comes out of the bottle.
- Gentle yet effective.
- Leaves my skin soft and clean.

Cons
The only con is the smell.

Overall
This is an amazing cleansing foam. If you don't like the smell of tea tree, stay away from this one. If you don't mind the tea tree smell, I highly recommend this to all skintypes.
