+INGREDIENTS
Ingredients of the Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam: Water, Stearic Acid (Emollient + Viscosity Control), PEG-8 (Humectant/Moisturizer + Solvent), Myristic Acid (Surfactant/Cleansing + Emulsifying), Potassium Hydroxide (Buffering), Glycerine, Lauric Acid (Surfactant/Cleansing + Emulsifying + Might be Anti-Acne), Alcohol, Butylene Glycol (Humectant/Moisturizer + Solvent), Glyceryl Stearate SE (Emulsifying), Polyquaternium-7 (Anti-static + Film Former (makes it so that the product is continous and supple when applied), PEG/PPG-14/7 Dimethyl Ether (Skin-conditioning), Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Sericin, Hydrolyzed Silk, Disodium EDTA (Chelating), Sodium Metabisulfite (Preservative), Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate (Preservative), Sodium Benzoate (Preservative), Fragrance
☁️In-Depth Details Of Interesting Ingredients:
Glycerine: Widely used as a quality Hydrator (occurs naturally in skin and its chemical structure attracts water). You can find this ingredient in most good skin replenishing products.
Sodium Hyaluronate : Hydrating (water binding properties) + Wound healing (promotes micro circulation)
Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate: One of the limitations of Hyaluronate Acid (Known to keep skin hydrated/plump) is that it has a short half-life and gets degraded in the skin. Sodium Acetyalted hyaluronate is a form of this molecule where some of the OH (hydroxyl groups, water-loving and binding) groups that constitute the molecule are replaced by Acetyle groups to make it longer lasting. Little studies exist on this but current ones suggest that this leads to an general increase of the properties of the molecule, notably: Moisture + Anti-inflamation
Sericin (Silk Protein): Moisturizing (Ressembles skin natural moisturizing factors) + Anti-aging
Hydrolyzed Silk: Hydrolized Silk doesn’t have a lot of study made on it, but normal Silk exhibits the following qualities: Antioxidant + Antibacterial + Moisturizing + Potential anti-aging
Citric Acid: Anti-aging (AHA + promotes collagen production)
🤔Hmmm Ingredients:
Alcohol (antimicrobial + antibacteria + solvent + viscosity controlling + astringent) + Fragrance (Perfuming)
A lot of people assimilate alcohol and fragrances in skincare to dehydration and irritation. I would recommend that you watch this video: “Is Alcohol Safe in Skincare Products?” (by Liah Yoo, who worked at Korea's largest beauty company, AmorePacific and now also has her own brand: KraveBeauty) and consult the links provided in the info box which refer to published scientific studies and articles. The main point is: yes, alcohol and fragrance can be very stripping and irritating to the skin, but it all depends on how they are used and combined in the final formulation (their ratio, the reactions they have with other ingredients, etc…), I have sensitive skin but my skin did not react negatively to the blue mask in any way. Of course, if you’re unsure, a patch test is always recommended.
+how to use the Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam
+what does the Shiseido Senka Perfect Whip Cleansing Foam do?
1.Featuring moisturizing technology that gives you more moisturized skin: No, my skin did not feel more moisturized after this product, it’s a product that cleans very thoroughly, so if you’re looking for something milder, and moisturizing, the Senka Perfect Cleansing Foam won’t be it. It is important to note however that this won’t make your skin dryer by any means (unless you have very dry skin, to begin with), it’s not stripping.
2.Foam particles and fine bubbles with a density of 5 times (compared to our company) slip into pores and skin grooves and adsorb dirt, reach the cause of dullness and drop: As stated above, this product is perfect for deep cleansing. I always reach for it when my skin is particularly oily and dirty and it does a wonderful job at making it clean in a few seconds. This is my cleanser of choice during the summer when I sweat more and naturally produce more oils.
+ On the picture: foundation + concealer + makeup + Matte Kylie lip kit + Waterproof mascara + Lip Stain (A bit of waterproof mascara and lip stain were not fully removed by the cleanser). As you can see from the above picture, the Senka cleanser removed the majority of the makeup present, if you wear a lot of makeup, especially waterproof, you’ll still need an oil-based cleanser before it, but in comparison to the COSRX Low Ph Good Morning Gel Cleanser, this is more a thorough cleanse.
+benefits:
Awesome experience when washing your face
Will remove good majority of dirt
Very soft product
Very Affordable
-CONS:
Not a very appropriate pH
Not suitable for most sensitive skins
☁️ Score: 3.9/5--- My cleanser of choice during the hot summer days, or whenever I feel like I need a strong cleanse without stripping away the good oils in my skin.

+AMAZON: I will not be including an Amazon link here, from what I’ve seen people randomly get bottles with different formulations (from different years) and assume they’re fake (they’re not). Since I’m only reviewing the newest formulation, I can’t recommend the older versions and will only recommend the YesStyle link above.
