The great folks over at Frends Beauty Supply sent me 2 complimentary products to try out for all of you. As you all know, I love reviewing beauty products so I was pretty excited when these two arrived at my doorstep.
For the review I received a 3.38 fl. oz. bottle of Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water and a box of Pure Cotton Pads (60 count box). I will admit, I don’t wear make-up daily since I work at home…but when I do go out a few times a week…make-up is always on my face. In the past I have had issues with cleansing products being too harsh for my sensitive skin, so I was more than happy to give these products a try.
The Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water contains natural herbal essences using lzumo natural SPA water. It is oil-free and mildly-acidic. The Cleansing Spa Water is infused with 6 essential herbs to protect and nurture skin. It will gently and quickly remove make-up leaving nutrients to replenish & rejuvenate your skin.
The Koh Gen Do Pure Cotton Pads are made out of 100% cotton that has not been chemically treated, bleached or pigmented. Each box contains 60 cotton pads that measure 2.4″ by 3.2″ in size.
To use the Cleansing Spa Water you squirt a generous amount onto the cotton pad and then gently swipe the pad across your face. You can leave the product on your face and you don’t need to rinse it off with water. How cool is that? Totally cool!
Anyway, I got busy using the product and used it as instructed. I found that it did a great job at removing my foundation, face powder, eye shadow, eye liner, blush, etc. It did a really nice job at getting my make-up off and it didn’t bother my sensitive skin at all. I got a nice cool sensation on my skin as I used it which I found to be pleasant, especially right now since it has been steamy hot outside.
Overall, I give both products 9 stars out of 10 stars on my rating scale. I only deducted a 1/2 star as I would love to see the Cleansing Spa Water offered in a larger size bottle. I also deducted a 1/2 star as I would love to see the cotton pads just a tad thicker than what they are. Other than that…these two products are almost BEAUTY PERFECT!

I have been looking for a different cleansing product because my sensitive skin reacts so easily to many products. I shall look at the Frends Beauty Supply site. I like that you can leave this solution on your skin.
I think this would be great to have in my night stand for those nights when I am pooped! That is a small bottle and if I used it every night it would not last long. I like that the cleansing pads are cotton.
A little bit goes a long way. I have been using it for over 2 weeks now and only about 20% of the bottle is gone.
This sounds like a wonderful product, I’m always interested in new face products 🙂
I have sensitive skin too. Most things like this make my face break out. I’ll have to check out this product. Thanks.
