A package has arrived and reached my door earlier
this week, it was sent by CowStyle Indonesia and they gave me this Shizengokochi Facial Soap (Green Tea).
This is my first encounter with the brand so I’ m curious to find out and
decided to dedicate myself for a full week observation of the object.
Description
Shizengokochi Facial Soap is a soap bar, green colored, produced by Cow Brand
Soap Kyoshinsha, a company from
Japan. It is made from green tea extract, Hyaluronic acid, Collagen, Jojoba
oil, and Althea essence and all came from natural sources. From this brief
information, all of the main ingredients are known for their moisturizing,
exfoliating and oil control power. The soap came with a soft net pouch. For you
ingredients conscious, it contains fragrance. The smell is okay.

Claim
The soap offers this ability to give us a one-step
brighter and smoother face, removing dead cell skin and white heads.
How to use
Put the soap bar into the netpouch, rub it gently
with your palm until it creates a foam form. Then, use the foam to wash your
face. It’s very easy since it only took two seconds after I rub the soap. The
pouch actually helps to creates more foam.

First
impression
The first time I open the box,
honestly it’s just like a plain, old-fashioned soap bar and the smell is kind
of familiar to me, since my mom used to wear Japan’s soap bar when I was a kid.
It is softly scented and I found it relaxing.
The foam texture is very creamy and
soft. Even though it doesn’t as bounces as I thought it would be, however, they
mentioned that the foam will not fall even you put your hand upside down is
true. Though I think it is a bit more like gimmicky and the foam ability
doesn’t impress me that much.
Result
1st day
Yes, the soap gave this supple,
fresh and moisturized skin face as promised. It doesn’t make my skin dry and
doesn’t leave any gross-flaky dry evidence too. Nice.
Although, I found a little
tightening feel on my skin after a few minutes. The soap doesn’t give this
instant brightening effect, you know, some facial wash product have this
effect. Nothing dramatic happened so I’ll
keep using the soap continuously twice a day.
2nd day
I am using olive oil to clean my
face before sleep and then wash it a facial wash. I hardly found a product that
could remove the excess well. I started to like this soap when I realized that
this is one of the products that could remove it easily and still give the
moisturizing effect. Salute.
3rd day
After washing my face and then use
my daily routine products, it takes 2.5 hours for my cheek to shows a slight
shine and no oil. After 4 hours, there’s
a hint of oil in shows in my forehead.Just like any normal day. Since I don’t
have oily skin, I can’t say much right now. So, let’s say nothing special about
the oil control thing. No vision of white-heads. Cool
4th day
I sort of just realized its
brightening effect and it removes a layer of dead skin cell in a small area
near my nose and cheek mildly. Now we know that the Althea essence is working.
Yay. I used to have a facial scrub to do this job, and apparently Shizengokochi Facial Soap can do both.
5th day
Washing my face with this soup three
times a day doesn’t dried my skin out so I think the formula is quite gentle.
However, since I accidentally did it, I don’t have a plan to continue this
behavior. Lol
6th day
I don’t see any decreasing pores
since I have quite a few between my nose and cheekbone area, which actually
nobody put that specification on the box. But I can’t help myself to demand
that, sorry lol.
7th day
I have a full day activity and when
I’m doing a mirror check, my face does’t look that matte, it is shiny but more
like a healthy glow. I tried to touch my nose, and surprisingly, the amount of
oil that my skin produced is fewer than usual, so I think this is a start of a
good friendship between me and Shizengokochi
Facial Soap. It also doesn’t clogged my pores and doesn’t break my skin out J
Conclusion
It is working really well,
especially for those of you who have an oily skin. It is very gentle and this
soap really does his job. The natural ingredients are a positives value and I
love the fact that it mildly exfoliates our dead skin cell. For a soap bar it is
quite pricey, around IDR 60k. But, a soap bar lasts longer than cream/liquid
facial wash, I suppose? I’ll update it when I finish with this Shizengokochi Facial Soap.
