The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Pore Scrub Foam Review

Hi guys! I'm sneaking up a post before everything else becomes all technically busy... again. </3

You might have read about my findings on The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Nose Strip before, right? It actually is a part of The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava line and it was the first product I've used from that line.

The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Pore Scrub Foam

I bought The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Pore Scrub Foam some time at the last quarter of 2016. I've been particulary eyeing this one because of its Jeju Volcanic properties that deep cleanses, tightens pores, and fights sebum. This pore scrub foam is quite similar to Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Pore Cleansing Foam. I haven't tried that but I read it has a lot of raves online. However, Innisfree is only available online and they still don't have a physical store here. :( I immediately bought The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Pore Scrub Foam when it became available at the nearest The Face Shop branch. Just in time also when I ran out of my previous cleansing foam.

Too bad, I forgot to take a picture before opening it. Rest assured, it's covered in plastic and has a seal inside the tube to prevent spillage. By the time you buy it, your 12 months of shelf life will start. :D

At the back, it has the product description, instructions, and ingredients. Instructions are in English and French, which I think very cool - to think that Korean products before do not have translations.

Instructions are available in Korean, English and French!

This dispenses a brown cream with some brown-er specs. The specs are responsible for its scrub texture. A little goes a long way for this product. Dry-skin people might not like this because it finishes squeaky clean. So, it's good to moisturize after cleansing.

Can you see the little brown specs, boxed in orange? XD They're responsible for the scrub sensation when you lather up.

What I like:

• A little goes a long way! It lather very well and covers your whole face and neck with just a pea-size amount.
• It gives a squeaky-clean effect and washes away light makeup. Waterproof makeup, of course, still needs to be cleansed away with a makeup remover.
• It did not give me any breakouts and keeps my face oil-free.
• Affordable! A 150 ml tube costs Php 395. It may last six months or more.

What I don't like:

• If I use too much, the sides of nose gets dry. I have oily-combination skin and I have a little of those dry areas, especially if I haven't exfoliated yet or it's that time of the month.

Will I repurchase?
I most probably will!

The Face Shop Jeju Volcanic Lava Pore Scrub Foam is formulated for those with oily-combination skin, hence its name, pore scrub foam. If you are on the drier side, a good moisturizer is needed to balance it. If you like a squeaky feel, this pore scrub foam is for you!
