REVIEW: Etude House(not completely cruelty free) Magic Bubble Peeling (foam) -2 stars

Brand: Etude House
Line: (Magic Bubble)
Product Type: Peeling (foam)
Origin: South Korea
Tested on Animals: Sold in China



I ordered this because it was a decent price on Etude USA and I want to try all the Asian peeling products... I didn't like the Moistful one very much at all...

Note:
(The standard peeling gel (Laneige, SkinFood, Missha) is applied to dry skin and rubbed in.)
This is actually a foam in a tin-like bottle with a spray foam nozzle. Like shaving cream...

Summary:
I wasn't expecting much from a metal/tin tube, especially when it came out looking exactly like shaving cream. However, unlike the Moistful Peeling "Wash", there was a little peeling and there was moisture afterwards.  Magic Bubble line -the packaging design is kind of bland and i didn't notice it immediately...You rub it on your face, rub it in until it starts peeling (very minimal amount no matter how long you do it), and then rinse. Actual peeling effect is grey, which is kind of gross...This is NOT going to take off very much dead skin at all, and I question if it takes anything off?

On to the review...

Size: ml -
Packaging: 3/5 Purple un-traditional tin-like bottle with a nozzle. Art features a fairy/pixie. Not very eye-catching and more feminine than cute or girly. Etude always has a new theme gimmick line.
Color: white foam
Texture: 3.5/5 Smooth yet foamy, sticky when rubbed into skin...
Lastability: UNKNOWN. Since it's a tin, you can't tell how full it is, but a lot comes out when sprayed...
Scent: 4/5
Ease of Use: 5/5 Spray and use.
Effect: 3.5/5 Somewhat smooth skin after-wards. Somewhat moisturized. What I would have expected from the failure of Moistful...
The Verdict: I'm done with foam or spray or alternative peeling products. Only gel from here on out.
There was a tiny bit of peeling, but not enough to make it worth it.
