Deve Natural Hand Cream

I actually had this 65g tube of Deve Natural Hand Cream out this past winter but ended up putting it away until now. 

Shikioriori Tsubaki Cleansing Oil

Almost done with this 150mL bottle of Shikioriori Tsubaki Cleansing Oil, which I bought in Taipei along with several other cleansing oils from Beaua and PharmaAct. Kumano Yushi owns both brands. And no, it didn't take me 3 months to finish PharmaAct Deep Cleansing Oil. In between, I went through another bottle of Boscia Makeup-Breakup Cool Cleansing Oil.

This cleansing oil is another hit for me and I love it! It doesn't feel oily or greasy, and it doesn't feel too "cushy" or silicone-y either. The texture is just right, not too thick, not too thin. It rinses well but not squeaky clean so my skin doesn't feel stripped or taut afterwards. It is scented with a mild and slightly fruity scent that reminds me of lychee, though not to the extent of SK-II Facial Treatment Cleansing Oil. Too bad this bottle is only 150mL, because I'm really enjoying it! Not sure if I can find this online, but I will definitely repurchase.

Beaua Organic Link Cleansing Oil

I've been using this 300mL pump bottle of Beaua Organic Link Cleansing Oil for a few weeks now. I bought it while in Taipei, at the same time as Beaua 10 Essences Cleansing Oil and PharmaAct Additive Free Cleansing Oil.

The bottle says this Organic Link Cleansing Oil has "essential oil fragrance," and that it's "infused with organic rosemary, lavender, thyme, sage, rose hip, bilberry leaf, cucumber, crataegus, and yarrow," so I was expecting it to have that nice herbal scent like the Beaua 10 Essences, but it turns out to smell like generic soap, very similar to the PharmaAct Additive Free! In terms of texture, it's almost identical to PharmaAct Additive Free, a cushy gel-like feel that isn't thick or greasy, and it doesn't melt into an oil after some massaging like the Beaua 10 Essences.

So if I have to choose, I would pick the Beaua 10 Essences, not only because it smells nice, but also because the PharmaAct Additive Free and this Beaua Organic Link feel like the same product in different packaging. And given that Kumano Yushi owns both Beaua and PharmaAct, they might very well be the same product in different packaging ^.^

Beaua 10 Essences Cleansing Oil

Been using this 300mL bottle of Beaua 10 Essences Cleansing Oil for the past few weeks and loving it! This is my first product from Kumano Yushi (Kumano Cosmetics/Kumano Cosme). I actually didn't get this in Japan but Taiwan, at the Japanese drugstore in the Zhongxiao Fuxing-Zhongxiao Dunhua underground mall where I bought the Media Pressed Powder and Bright Up Powders ^.^

Kumano Yushi operates mainly in the Chubu (central) region, which explains why I never saw their brands (like Beaua, etc.) in Yokohama/Tokyo drugstores! You will see more cleansing oils from a few other brands from Kumano Yushi soon, because I basically bought one each of the cleansing oils I saw in those Japanese drugstores in Taipei ^.^
