Yuan Soap Alpinia Speciosa Facial Cleansing Lotion & Gel

From my little spiel on the brand a year ago (how time flies!) you know that Yuan Soap 阿原肥皂 backs their products with the best of what technology has to offer. I am reminded how effective it is once again when I took on these new arrivals: Alpinia Speciosa Facial Cleansing Lotion and Alpinia Speciosa Facial Cleansing Gel. My cleansing routine is all laid out for me: I use the lotion first, then the gel.


Alpinia Speciosa Facial Cleansing Lotion 月桃卸妝乳 (RM 149/150 ml) feels like a body lotion. For something with this texture to do a good job of removing makeup – I knew I was onto something special. I need a separate eye makeup remover when I am wearing lots of liner and mascara though. One of the brilliant things about this cleanser is the inclusion of Vibrio Exopolysaccharide Extract (a type of algae) to stimulate collagen synthesis.



The full ingredient list for Alpinia Speciosa Facial Cleansing Lotion:
Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglycendes, C12-C15 Alkyl Benzoate, Alpinia Speciosa Flower/Leaf/Stem Water, Decyl Glucoside, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, Vibrio Exopolysaccharide Extract, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Cetearyl Alcohol, Isopropyl Palmitate, Steareth-21, Sodium Polyacrylate, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol.

Other than Alpinia Speciosa, Alpinia Speciosa Facial Cleansing Gel 月桃潔面露 (RM 139/150 ml) is enriched with White Fungus for hydration purposes along with an extract from the Ayurvedic plant Gotu Kola to stimulate collagen production and promote wound healing. It is adept at breaking down impurities while leaving the skin moisturised and with its natural defences intact. I can't even begin to articulate how beautifully it works in spite of the gentle formulation. Thumbs up! Toes up too if that is possible!!



The full ingredient list for Alpinia Speciosa Facial Cleansing Gel:
Water, Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Alpinia Speciosa Flower/Leaf/Stem Water, Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Hydrolyzed Royal Jelly Protein, Glycerin, Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Zingiber Officinale (Ginger) Root Oil, Xanthan Gum, PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Isoceteth-20.
