Missha Liquidly Facial Cleanser One-Step Milk to Peeling Review

I picked up Missha's Liquidly Facial Cleanser as I wanted an all-in-one cleanser that will help remove my make up, clean and 'peel' my face at the same time. Yes, I am lazy sometimes :)




This version of Liquidly Facial Cleanser is the One-Step Milk to Peeling.
There is also an Oil to Foam version out there.




It is a milky cream formula that turns into a peeling gel when rubbed/ massaged into the skin thoroughly.


One pump from the bottle

The product has a light scent that is like lavender.

The texture is very light and creamy. It feels like smearing cold cream on your face. Very soothing.

One pump from the bottle is enough for the entire face and neck.

For a big 200ml bottle like this, it will last me about 4-5 months with once a day use everyday.

Here I will demonstrate it's magical peeling power.

I have swatched on my hand my everyday make up and left to dry and sink into my skin. Eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick, bb cream.




One pump of the cleanser here.

It is probably too much for my hand. Half a pump or 1/4 pump should have been enough.




Within the first 20-30 seconds the make up disappears into the cleanser.




After 2 minutes, the 'peel' bits appear! Magical!




They look like this. Yucky...

Trapped bits of make up and dead skin in the gel bits.




End result - smooth hand that is free of make up and dead skin.
You really do feel the smoothness of your skin after using this product.

One thing I would point out is that once your hands or face is wet, it dosn't 'peel', but it will still remove make up effectively. So you've got to use this product on dry skin.

The 'peeling' process provides exfoliation that is light enough to be used everyday.
It hasn't given me irritated or dry skin with everyday use.

I highly recommend this product if you find other scrubs too harsh on your skin or if you have sensitive skin.

Overall this is a one-step product that is effective. Me likey, so two thumbs up from me!

Repurchase? Yes! I would also be keen on the oil-to-foam cleanser in future.

*This was purchase on the New Zealand Missha website missha.co.nz (not affiliated with this seller). I found the picture of the bottle of this product is different from mine. Must be a new version of it then, hopefully the formula stayed the same. Otherwise new stock = better!

Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser Review

During summer seasons my T-zone produces enough oil to fry my own fish and chips. Lol gross I know....

Anyway, I always find myself coming back to this product, the Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser, to remove the oiliness from my face.


It comes in a big 200ml bottle, which lasts me about 2-3 months with once or twice a day usage.

As you can see from the picture I have used alot of it.

It is part of my daily night time cleansing regime.

I use it after my double cleansing regime as a toner because you don't wash it off after application. It stays on your skin and continues to fight off the oiliness.

It's got salicylic acid in it which is good for oily, acne-prone skin.

I don't have acne but I get quite a lot of pimples when I am stressed/ lack sleep/ eat too much chocolate or chips or oily fried foods (i.e everything yummy!) .



The smell is very alcoholic as alcohol denat is the second ingredient on the list after aqua (water). This is good as I like to believe the alcohol will dissolve away the oiliness of my skin.

I would stay away from this if you've got sensitive skin like Natalie... one touch of this and her skin goes red and blotchy...

Since it is a cleanser, let me demonstrate to you it's awesome cleaning power...

Here on my hand I have swatched an eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick and BB cream (if you want me to review these please leave a comment to let me know thank you!)

I have left these on for 20 minutes-ish to let the cosmetics really settle into my skin.


Soaking a cotton pad with the cleanser... you don't need to much of it.


Ready... set.... clean!!!

After ONE wipe

As you can see all it needs is one wipe and ta-da! The make up comes off easily and does not leave any residual make up behind.

After TWO wipes

After two wipes, the back of my hand is clean and make up free again.

Repurchase? Yes!

There is also a sister product - the pink/red colour version of this ( I think it's called the cleansing lotion), I use when I run out of this blue one. I will review it in a future post to compare for you. So start following me!
