The Face Shop Mango Seed Cleansing Butter

Cleansing oils, cleansing waters and now cleansing butters?!

(Source: thefaceshop.com/)

According to The Face Shop, Mango Seed Cleansing Butter is:
A butter type cleanser that melts away makeup and impurities. Its mango seed substance provides both moisture and nutrients to the skin.


Name: The Face Shop 더페이스샵 Mango Seed 망고씨드 Cleansing Butter 실크보습 클렌징버터
Price: ₩ 7,900 for 200 ml
Made in: Korea

I have always avoided buying products that come in a tube because of the whole dipping/germs scenario. I thought sod it when I came across Mango Seed Cleansing Butter for I am always up for something new the name itself is already a winner.


If you have used cleansing oils, it will feel familiar to you because the buttery texture melts into an oil upon massaging. Unlike cleansing oils, this cleansing butter will not remove all traces of waterproof point makeup. Fortunately, it is not a deal-breaker because I always have an eye makeup remover on hand.



On the upside, the mango scent is really appealing and it has piqued my interest into trying the rest of the best selling line.

To demonstrate its cleansing prowess, I have applied a number of products onto my arm in the picture below. I have got Rouge Bunny Rouge Sketches On Water Tinted Moisturiser, Sasatinnie Super Dolly Powerful Curling Mascara and Etude House Princess Etoinette Crystal Shine Lips (from left).



Fancy it? You can purchase it for US$ 14.40 including shipping at twofacemall.com.

Ohh cleansing butters are something I haven't heard of before! I think I will stick to my trusty cleansing oil for now because I like to get all that mascara off in one wash, but the scent of this one does sound quite appealing.

It looks interesting, but I stopped using The Face Shop long ago since I always have breakouts whenever I use any of their products.

Ooo I love anything mango so this product sounds right up my alley! It would be so invigorating in the morning I bet. It looks like this did a pretty good job, but did it leave any oily residue on your skin and how hard was it to rinse off?
