This Hada Labo cleanser does easily activate with water and hand-rubbing to produce a low foam facial wash. But when I use the same pea-sized amount with my Sonic cleanser, the device activates a slightly richer lather.
With or without the use of a sonic cleanser, my skin feels clean and free of oil post-wash. It doesn’t feel tight, but I can tell that there is no whatsoever leftover skincare residue or natural skin oils. It’s on the cusp of almost being drying, but luckily still isn’t.
