Review: RE:CIPE Slowganic Adlay Cleanser

Want to know if it destroyed my face but hate words and shit? Click here for TL;DR!

I purchased the RE:CIPE Slowganic Adlay cleanser from Tester Korea at the same time as the Rose Petal Cleansing Oil which I reviewed here. I have heard nothing but love for the Slowganic cleanser which has taken on a bit of a cult status due to the unique marshmallow-like texture and PH of 5.5. Personally I don't trust the PH of a cleanser when the marketing department are the people responsible for the claim. Instead I tend to go by this document on the Korean Beauty subreddit which has been collated by real people. Am I saying marketers aren't real people? Damn fucking right I am and I should know; I've been in Marketing all my working life.

When I saw this cleanser was heavily discounted from the quite frankly absurd RRP of ₩40,000 on Tester Korea I decided it was high time to try it. Having only found reviews of the Lemon and Green Tea options and none for the Adlay which is aimed at dry skin (my skin type in Winter) I did what any sane person would do and immediately ordered the unknown unreviewed quantity. In hindsight that decision was more than questionable...

Memebox Superfoods Review

This was one of my first purchases from Memebox back in Summer 2014 and yet I only got around to cracking it open and using everything in October 2014. I almost didn't order the box at all but it came in a value set with something else, I think it might have been the best Meme decision I ever made.

Memebox Blackheads No More Unboxing and Review

First of all if you haven't seen the YouTube video I made when I received this box it's probably a good place to start. Or not, whatever. I'll only a cry a little bit if you refuse to watch it.

So I thought I would revisit this box in writing now that I have tried everything in it. Bit more useful than "Oh that smells like.... wait... I had something for this....."
