Hello! ~ Today I want to review the Etude House Happy Teatime Green Tea Cleansing Foam. I bought this a while back already in an Etude House store in Japan. This cleanser is available in 5 different types, of which I picked the Green Tea one, because Green Tea is usually best suitable for problematic skin, even though the Etude House doesn't really specify which one is suitable for what skin type. The description of the cleanser just says "Supplies abundant foam and refreshing tea scent to cleanse and nourish complexion. Contains Green Tea Extract for clarifying."The Etude House Happy Teatime Green Tea Cleansing Foam comes in a 150ml tube with a pretty, yet not too exciting, design. I picked this product because I love Green Tea as a face care ingredient, and because it was really cheap, probably the cheapest cleanser in the whole Etude House store. I do not remember the exact price, but I think I payed between 300-400 Yen only for this.The foam comes out of the tube in the form of a paste, with a rather dense consistency. Only a small amount of this product is needed to cover all of your face in a dense lather. The denseness of the foam has its disadvantage though. Once I had used up a fair amount of the product, with maybe 1/4 still in the tube, it became really difficult to squeeze the product out of the tube.The color is light green, almost white, and from my impression pretty scent-less, even though Etude claims this should have a tea scent.My impression is that this cleanser is a standard product. It does a good job at cleaning my face, taking off all the BB Cream and blush I wear, but apart from that it does not do much for my skin. It is not getting noticeable worse, but neither noticeable better. If you have unproblematic skin then you can get a solid product for a good price here, but if you have problematic skin, like very sensitive skin, breakouts, extremely dry skin, etc. then the Etude House Happy Teatime Green Tea Cleansing Foam will have little effect on this. Since my skin is problematic I would not re-purchase this. Cheap priceOnly small amount necessary Hard to press out of tubeNo noticeable skin-improvement
