[Review] Etude House Happy Fresh Foam (Witch Hazel)

Hello beauties!

I am here today with the first review for 2014 with a product that I liked very much. It's not anything new, and most of you know it and some of you may already have used it. It's the Happy Fresh Foam from Etude House in Witch Hazel type. I recently made a review on the White Clay type too, so make sure to check it out :D
This series of foam cleansers come in 5 types, depending on what skin type you have you choose accordingly. I went with Witch Hazel for my first try, because my skin is combination-oily and tends to break out easily.
The two cleansers that are recommended for oily skin have 10% sebum absorbers and 20% moisturizers. Also, witch hazel is known for solving skin trouble.


 As you can see in the picture below ( I am sorry for the bad quality, my camera didn't want to cooperate) ths cleanser has a grey colour. It is very thick and creamy, something like clay. I was surprised that it actually contained really fine and small scrubbies . It smells like baby powder, but a lot fresher than that.


 As you can see it forms a very rich foam (and even richer than that I was just lazy to keep massaging xDD). The granules it contains are really really small so you don't have to worry, this is not a face scrub, it just helps to gently exfoliate for a more radiant skin. Tha foam is really creamy and nice, you definitely feel like all the impurities are coming out with this.


I bought it from Ebay for 7$ (~5,50 euros) if I am not mistaken, since it has been quite a while, with free shipping and it lasted me for a long time, maybe 4 months, considering that it is used by 2 more people exept me. Thing is, you need only a really small amount cause it generates so much foam. If you don't share this with sisters or family it will probably last you forever, which is a good thing if you are low on a badget.

After using it I felt my skin so deeply clean like never before. And even though I felt it overly clean, I didn't feel overly dry. I actually wanted to cherish the moment of cleanness, but yeah, have to put moisturizer on top eventually. As all foam cleansers, this leaves the skin quite on the dry side after the use, but it's only natural, since it is meant for oily skin. I do not know how the moisturizing line of this product works, but from what I have read, foam cleansers are more potent than non-foam ones. Don't worry, it won't harm you, you just need to put your moisturizer quickly on top and you will feel clean and fresh and happy. Yeah, just like it's name, it definitely makes you and your skin feeling happy. 

Mind you, I have used a lot of cleansers in the past, never liked one that much and I am always on the search of new cleansers on the market, in case I find something I like even better. I would totally recommend this though, to all of you with combination and oily skin. Those of you with dry skin might want to take a look at the rest of the line.

And since lately I found out that many girls prefer to take their make up off just with face cleanser, I thought I should talk about this as well. To be honest...I don't know how it works as a make up remover, nor would I ever recommend it for this kind of use. I would advise you to use a cleansing milk/oil to take your make up off and then wash your face thoroughly with this or any other face cleanser. These products aren't meant to remove your make up entirely, otherwise cleansing milks and oils wouldn't have any place in the market, right? So, unfortunately, I cannot inform you about its potency as a make up remover. It is awesome in removing any make up residues that you might have left while removing your make up with a cotton pad :)

I hope I have covered everything, if you still have any questions or you want to share your experience with this product do not hesitate to leave a comment down below ^___^
