Product Review: Ice-cream Type Magic Cream Soap

I have a new make-up remover given to me as a gift. The product's name really intrigued me. It's called Ice-cream Type Magic Cream Soap! What?!? Ice cream? Soap? Magic??? I don't know but it sounds really interesting. Who haven't dreamt of lathering their face with ice cream? No? Maybe it's just me.

I'm really critical when it comes to removing makeup on my face. I have a sensitive and acne prone skin that is why I always make sure that I completely remove cosmetic products on my face before retiring to bed. I have been using cold creams for make-up removal since I first started applying cosmetics and it has been serving me good so I never tried any other makeup removal products, until today.

Presenting, Outi1: QuickTime 1 minute Solution, Ice-cream Type Magic Cream Soap. The one I have is grape scented. This product is made in Korea but it was bought from Japan. 

I love how the box looks.

It comes with instructions written in Korean, Japanese, and English languages.

The usage guide states the instructions on how to use the product for deep cleansing, fast deep cleansing and as a bath agent.

The product container is a cup and it comes with a spoon. This really makes the product resemble an ice cream!

After removing the seal I was even more amazed by how wonderful the product looks. Not to mention the smell! It smells lovely; mild grape flavor. I almost wanted to eat it! The texture is pretty much like ice cream too.

I opted for a deep cleansing. It required 1 spoon of the ice cream soap which you will lather on wet face just like a regular facial wash.

I massaged my face with the product for 30 seconds (I left my eye makeup for the work of another product), added a few drops of lukewarm water to my hands and continued to massage for another 30 seconds, as directed. I rinsed it with lukewarm water and finished off with cold water.

I really like the packaging of the product. It's very cute. I really love how Asian products step out of the box. The product itself can be used throughout the body. This product may not only be used as a facial soap but as a body soap as well. It's very versatile. I usually prefer unscented products but I love how the soap smells. Mild grape and ice cream! I swear I can smell ice cream as I was lathering. I've never had grape ice cream before. I haven't even seen one to start with. I'm not sure if grape flavored ice cream exists but if it does, I hope it smells as good as this soap. 

The product feels like a regular facial wash and I did not have any irritation during the first 30 seconds. The other 30 seconds was another thing though. I felt a slight stinging sensation but it wasn't that bad so I finished until the last second. Rinsing with warm water washed the soap along with the stinginess. The cold water was even more soothing. My face felt really good and squeaky clean. After patting my face dry I felt a bit of tightness on my face. It left my skin a bit too dry for my taste. 

I tested how good it took of my makeup by using a cotton ball with toner. I was amazed by how clean the cotton ball was after the test. It's not the clean clean as if it was never used but clean as in no trace of makeup. I applied moisturizer after everything to counter the dryness. 

Here’s a run-down of the things that I like and I don’t like about this product.

Positive:
♥  Mild grape ice cream scent
♥  Versatile
♥  Effectively removes makeup

Negative:

■ Scented (Yes, I love how the product smells but I really try to avoid scented products)
■ Slight stinging sensation after the first 30 seconds
■ Made my face a bit dry

I would still recommend this product because of I find that it's really effective in removing makeup. The product claims to be a makeup remover and it does what it promises. The slight stinging sensation I felt while using the product was a bit uncomfortable but bearable. Each person's skin is different and reaction to products will vary from person to person. The product made my face a bit dry for my taste because I am used to cold creams which have moisturizing properties. I would recommend the use of moisurizer after wash.

Would I use this product again? 

Sure! I would like to try the other approaches in using it.
