Contour Cleanser

Rich and foaming cleanser that removes impurities while improving blood circulation for that V-shaped look. Contains micro capsules that burst upon contact with water to gently cleanse, exfoliate, and detoxify skin. It helps to promote blood circulation, and reduces bloating and swelling for a defined, enviably slim face shape.

Ice Plant: Hydrates and calms redness

Lemon Myrtle: Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants to strengthen the skin

Packaging

This series of Althea drives me crazy, I am a sucker for minimalism, basically this series is minimal inside out, I can't keep my hands off it! Containing 150g, such a huge tube!

Smell

Very calming with a hint of light lemon scent.

Consistency

How to Use

Dampen the skin, then squeeze out a small amount and lather onto the face, massaging in circular motions to achieve that V-shaped look.

My Verdict

It has a cooling sensation, I think it's the ice plant working. The micro capsules are not harsh at all, it does help to deep clean and remove impurities. However I think it will be less effective compare to other usual facial exfoliate.

I tried it on my hand with my usual daily make up product, it take off make up easily, but not fully for my waterproof eyeliner and mascara.

Primer Water

Both a hydrating toner and a primer in one, the Primer Water contains patented dewdrop technology (Macro Fluidic Dispersion technology) that gently fills the gaps between pores and allows hydration to penetrate deep within the layers of the skin. Leaving the skin feel silky and prep for the next skincare step.

Smell

The smell is definitely pleasant, with very light floral smell.

Consistency

The consistency is between toner and serum, not water-runny type and not too thick.

How to Use

Pour out a small amount and apply evenly onto the face, gently patting in for better absorption.

Smell

This actually smell refreshing, a very subtle smell.

Consistency

It looks like cream, but as I rub in, it feels like gel.

How to Use

My Verdict

I really like this fixer cream as day moisturizer but maybe need to use this with serum as night cream.

Rating

4/5. I will repurchase both primer water and fixer cream, maybe not contour cleanser, because it foam too well to my liking.

Now that my skincare routine is simplified to this 3 steps, I have more time for myself now. 😃
