Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick Review


Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is a facial cleanser in the form of stick inside a twist-up style applicator. It claims to be hypoallergenic, non-stripping, mildly exfoliating, and to rinse without leaving behind any residue.


The container for the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is a sleek, light peachy-pink, twist-up tube. The product inside is a light pink stick, speckled with small, pink rose petals.

No surprises here – the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is very distinctively and classically rose scented, but it’s not sharp or intense. I would describe the fragrance as creamy and delicate.


One of the things I love about the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick is that it can be used as either the first and/or second cleanser if you like to double cleanse. The rich oils in the cleansing stick remove makeup with ease, including waterproof eye makeup. As a second cleanser, it leaves the skin completely clean and soft, without making it feel stripped or dry. Most of the time I use the cleansing stick as my morning cleanser, and sometimes as my second cleanser in the evening. However, if I were traveling, this cleansing stick is the only one I’d need to pack. I’m really looking forward to traveling with this cleansing stick actually – it’s so compact, and because it’s solid, I don’t have to worry about it leaking all over the other toiletries in my bag.

To use the stick, I just splash my face with tepid water, and then rub the stick over my wet face in a circular motion. I really enjoy this part of the process – it’s basically a mini facial massage. Once I feel like I have enough of the lather on my face (there’s usually a few rose petals on my face at this point as well), I’ll wet my hands slightly and rub the cleanser in a circular motion with my fingertips. I like to take my time with this step – after 30 seconds or so, I am rewarded with a smooth, creamy froth. I give this another 30 seconds, and then rinse it away with a few splashes of lukewarm water. The cleanser rinses away completely, leaving no residue behind.

I’ve been using the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick for about a week. I reach for it every morning, and often use it for my second cleansing step in the evening as well. My skin glows after using this cleanser, and I love the clean-but-not-tight feeling I get from it. I’ve noticed a slight decrease in skin sensitivity over the past couple of weeks, and I think the Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick might deserve the credit for this. I had one tiny pimple when I first started using this product, and I definitely noticed a significant decrease in its inflammation after using the cleansing stick just one time. I have not experienced any breakouts, irritation, dryness, or greasiness as a result of using this cleansing stick.

As far as exfoliation goes – I’d say those effects are minimal. It’s the rose petals that provide the exfoliating effect, and as you might imagine, rose petals aren’t terribly abrasive. I don’t think this is a bad thing – if I really want to physically exfoliate flakes from my face, I’m going to reach for a product that’s made to do exactly that. For a daily cleanser like this one, I much prefer a gentle product that isn’t going to irritate my skin.

Ingredients:
Glycerin, Coconut Oil, Water, Stearic Acid, Lauric Acid, Lauryl Betaine, Potassium Hydroxide, Betaine, Rose (0.5%), Fragrance, Camellia Oil, Tocopheryl, Green Tea Seed Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Apricot Seed Oil, Yeast/Fermented Rose Extract Filtrate (0.01%), Basil Oil, Lemon Peel Oil, Lime Oil, Pot Marjoram Oil, Orange Seed Oil, Ylang Ylang Oil

I love how many moisturizing plant oils there are in this ingredient lineup, and really, there’s a lot to love about this list in general. 

I absolutely love the Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick – washing my face with it feels like a luxury experience rather than a chore, and I love how my skin feels afterward. I also really love that I can use this cleansing stick for both steps of my double cleanse. I don’t normally use it that way, but having the option is nice, and will be especially handy for travel. Its ability to act as both a makeup remover and a cleanser is ideal for those who’d like to treat themselves to a luxury product but still save a little money.

Have you tried this product before?

Last but not least, Merry Christmas to you and your love one!

It's Skin Prestiges Masque D'escargot

Before I start to review this wonderful mask sheet, I would like to let you know that I am on #30daysmask little task of putting on different mask every night from mask sheet, mask gel or sleeping mask. I have most photos at Instagram.  Find me @inner_luxurious xx. 



It's Skin Prestige D'escargot (wow, mouthful!) is a gel- type mask with snail extract and Epidermal Growth Factor, originally from Korea.  It could hydrate your dry skin and smoot It claims to reduce for wrinkles (repairs) and also pores (smooth).  It has Brighthening elements which I saw my own after 20mins of using it.

 


After 20mins, you could see the gel has absorbed to my skin. 



Now you could see the before and after as proven it does brighten my skin.  How promising is that?

You could get this mask from Kim Soon Young at George Street Sydney or blusakeup.com.au for approx. $35-$39 for 5 pieces in the pack.
