The latest product on my radar is Mandom Beauty’s Cleansing Express all-in-one make up remover/cleanser/toner.

The tagline, “Ready for bed as soon as possible!” caught my eye on the train and there was a cartoon of an OL (office lady) looking all tired on the couch with limbs entangled in a colourful heap.

Apparently, all you need to do is squirt some of this magic liquid onto a cotton pad, wipe off your war paint, splash your face with water (optional), and then moisturize.

I thought it was in the budget range of cleansing oils and was about to dismiss it, since I have heard nasty reviews of cheap brands like Ponds and Biore. But my itchy fingers did a search on the Internet, and what I found out was, there’s no alcohol in this huge 300ml bottle. At only 950JPY at pharmacies, it’s definitely on my to-buy list.

There are three versions: Sebum, Moist, and Agecare. Here are some rave reviews by other beauty bloggers: Musings of a Muse, Lady L, and La Belle Cose.

I totally went gaga after I read how each and every one of them removed stubborn waterproof eye makeup and didn’t feel any residue on their skin after.

Although I’m a fan of Fancl’s Cleansing Oil and DHC’s Deep Cleansing Oil, I’m interested to give this one a go because it feels like water. Wow. It’s available in the US for USD13.99 on webichi and it’s SGD16.90 in Meidi-ya at Liang Court.
