Juju Aquamoist Moisture Washing Foam

Japanese face washes are some of the best -- be it oil or milky cleansers, but most especially foaming face washes, in my experience. Juju Aquamoist Moisture Washing Foam follows the famous Juju Aquamoist Hyaluronic Acid Essence in the Aquamoist series as a foaming face wash that cleans thoroughly while maintaining skin's moisture.

 It comes in a squeeze tube with a flip top cap.

The product comes out white and somewhat pasty. It lathers quite well; you'll feel the bubbles and foam if you like that kind of cleansing feeling.

I found this to be a good cleanser in cold climates, where I initially tested it. However, in hot Manila weather this cleanser somehow wasn't able to clean my face thoroughly, as if leaving a veil of film that cannot be washed off. I didn't encounter this problem back in colder climes.

Overall -- a basic cleanser that does not strip skin too dry, but may not clean thoroughly depending on climate and environmental exposure. Not a rebuy for moi.

Juju Aquamoist Hyaluronic Acid Essence

Hyaluronic acid (HA), also known as hyaluronan, is one ingredient that can be seen in many skincare products today. Its popularity lies in its ability to deliver moisture in larger quantities per molecule and for a longer period of time than other humectants or emollients. 

Juju's Aquamoist Hyaluronic Acid Essence is a purely hyaluronic treatment, and is generally well-received as a product which delivers superb moisturization without the addition of many chemical nasties. 

It comes in a blue opaque, heavy glass bottle.

Product description.

The pump mechanism squirts out a clear, gel like fluid. One pump releases about a pea-sized amount, which is just enough for the entire face.

Sadly, this did not really help my skin condition. It didn't make my skin any better. The texture was a bit sticky while being spread, but it quickly dries once settled down. However, I found my face felt tight afterwards, and actually felt quite rubbery. It did not provide softness or moisturization. On the other hand, it didn't give me allergic reactions. This has received rave reviews from majority of people who have used it though, so it might be worth a try to see if HA works for you or not.
