Review: Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Foam

By Herugliness
Hello! ~♥ I already reviewed a very similar product a while ago - the Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing Powder Wash. Today I will review another product from the same line, the Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Foam. This cleanser comes in a 150ml tube which has pretty much the same design as the Powder Wash: Not very appealing, looking a bit like some kind of household product.
The Holika Holika Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Foam is formulated with harrogate carbonated water to provide minerals to your skin. It is supposed to have the ability to alleviate skin diseases by reducing itching and keeping skin as clean and fresh. The cleansing foam also contains baking powder and tea tree extract for sebum and pore control.
While there is no English ingredient list ( or no English description even) available on the packing, luckily I was able to find one on the Holika Holika webpage: Water, Myristic Acid,Glycerin, Potasium Hydroxide, Stearic Acid, Peg-32,Glycol Distearate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine , Polyethylene,Glyceryl Stearate, Peg-100 Stearate, Palm Kernelamide Dea,Zea Mays (Corn) Starch, Microcrystalline Cellulose  , Lactose,Sucrose , Ultramarines,Mineral Water, Propylparaben, Bht,Methylparaben, Disodium Edta,Sodium Bicarbonate, Butylene Glycol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract , Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract , Fragrance Water,Myristic Acid,Glycerin,Potasium Hydroxide,Stearic Acid,Peg-32,Glycol Distearate,Cocamidopropyl Betaine ,Polyethylene,Glyceryl Stearate,Peg-100 Stearate,Palm Kernelamide Dea,Zea Mays (Corn) Starch,Microcrystalline Cellulose  ,Lactose,Sucrose ,Ultramarines,Mineral Water,Propylparaben,Bht,Methylparaben,Disodium Edta,Sodium Bicarbonate,Butylene Glycol,Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract ,Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract ,Fragrance - See more at: http://www.holikaholika.ca/products/cleansing/soda-pore-cleansing-bb-deep-cleansing-foam/#sthash.JIgpltqi.dpufWater,Myristic Acid,Glycerin,Potasium Hydroxide,Stearic Acid,Peg-32,Glycol Distearate,Cocamidopropyl Betaine ,Polyethylene,Glyceryl Stearate,Peg-100 Stearate,Palm Kernelamide Dea,Zea Mays (Corn) Starch,Microcrystalline Cellulose  ,Lactose,Sucrose ,Ultramarines,Mineral Water,Propylparaben,Bht,Methylparaben,Disodium Edta,Sodium Bicarbonate,Butylene Glycol,Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract ,Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract ,Fragrance - See more at: http://www.holikaholika.ca/products/cleansing/soda-pore-cleansing-bb-deep-cleansing-foam/#sthash.JIgpltqi.dpuThe foam comes out of the tube as a white cream with small blue dots in it. It has, like all products with baking powder I have tried so far, a citrus scent. When you mix it with water and rub it together you get a very thick lather. The product is very efficient as you only need a tiny amount of it to get a rich lather. I had to get used to how little you actually need to cover all your face and used way too much of it in the beginning.

The cleansing foam works amazing for removing makeup thoroughly, without leaving any trace and while the Soda Pore Cleansing Powder Wash offered no improvement of my skin at all, the Soda Pore Cleansing BB Deep Cleansing Foam actually does. After using this daily for a while, I had noticeable less pimples. Especially the small white hard knobs that you sometimes get under your skin were a major problem for me before I started using this product, but were reduced drastically after a while. Unfortunately the cleansing foam didn't seem to have any effect on blackheads (especially around my nose area) and big pores, as well as sebum control for me, but I am still quite content, because some improvement on my skin's condition is better than no improvement at all.  I don't plan to repurchase this, but will continue to search for a product that might improve my skin even more, but among all the cleansers I have tried so far, this is one of the better ones.
