Shiseido - The Skincare - Extra Gentle Cleansing Foam

The scent of this is a moderately strong soapy smell.

It cleans the skin really well, getting residual makeup off, and leaving the skin almost squeaky clean.

This will get rid of any oil, which could end up a little drying with long term use.

There are many different types of soaps out there that are probably better suited for whatever effect you want for cheaper.

Give this a miss.

Price: 0.5/5 (~$45 for 130mL)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Enesti - Day to Day - Pomegranate & Acerola Foaming Cleanser

I got this is a Memebox before it was uncool and stopped shipping to Australia.

It smells like banana to me and doesn't really foam, more of a lather.

I had to stop using it as a face cleanser because it gave me break outs, so I used the last 75% as a body wash. As a body wash, it was just ok.

I can't really recommend this.

Price: 2/5 (RRP $14)

Yadah Cosmetic - Anti Trouble Bubble Cleanser

I got this through Memebox (which I want to love, but virtually everything they sell is unable to be sold in Australia).

It was gentle, smelled like lemon aspirin (think Alka-Seltzer) and came out of the bottle in a foam.
I am moving away from strong cleansers and exfoliators for le face, so this fitted in nicely with my new philosophy.

As for acne, I did notice a reduction of pimples, but not a complete stop.

Biore Deep Pore Charcoal Cleanser

I got this as a sample with purchase from Chemist Warehouse (love them) and I am glad it was just a sample and I didn't buy it, because it tore my face TO SHREDS! Let me say that if you have normal skin, this would probably be a good, thouogh cleanser.... But if you have delicate, sensitive skin like me, you are in for a world of hurt! After one use, my face was red and sore for hours and the skin gods shunned all my peace offerings of moisturiser. 
I get that people have this idea that oil in one's face is bad, but my face needs some, not all of it has to go :(
So if you have delicate skin, STAY AWAY!!!

On another note, just want to say I love the Biore pore strips. They work brilliantly!

Price: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5 (but in a bad way...killed me, may not kill others)
Odour: 3/5 (not strong, good)
