Review: Mandom Cleansing Express, Cleansing Gel

I finally finished my 1st bottle of Cleansing Express sebum. Initially, I was thinking whether I should just grab my 2nd bottle. But after reading a review about this being better than the cleansing lotion, I decided to give it a try.

It is a water based gel, without paraben and fragrance, which is good for sensitive skin.

The ingredient:-

Made in Japan, so the quality is assured as most item from Japan are high in quality.

Instead of removing make up using cotton pad for lotion type, for gel type, you need to apply it like how you using your facial cleanser, and rinse it with water upon using.

My experience on using this product? It can remove my face make up like bb cream, powder and blusher very well, however I got some problem in removing eye make up with this gel. It cant remove my Majolica Majorca mascara (just like the lotion), plus I had a bit of problem in removing my eyeliner especially at waterline since Im trying to avoid the gel from getting into my eye, like how we avoid cleanser foam to get into our delicate eye. So most of the time, I will use Cleansing Express Eye Make Up Remover for eye make up.

So whats my opinion for this product compare to the lotion type? Honestly, I prefer the lotion type more over this. I think by using cotton pad, we can get more control on which face area to clean especially for those harder to reach area like eyes.

Overall, this make up remover wasnt that bad, but less convenient than the lotion type. The price however is cheaper by few RM tho. You can get this at Watson, Jusco and SASA outlets.

My ratings: 6/10

Review: Mandom Beauty Cleansing Express Sebum

Actually I bought this quite awhile already. Infact, the bottle already reached the bottom XD. This is a water based make-up remover from Japan. There are 4 types of them, which is for oily skin (green), dry skin (white), anti-aging (orange) and the latest one, for sensitive skin(purple). I bought the green bottle since I have a combination, more to oily skin.

So, my review about this product?

I love it! 1-2 squirt of this lotion on a cotton pad is just enough to remove make up from my face. You may need 2 cotton pads for thicker make up. And from the description, you can just straight go to bed without cleaning your face after using this. But I still wash my face after using this, just want to make sure my face is really clean, plus its a routine to wash my face before going to bed. However, this make up remove failed in removing my Marjolica Majorca mascara (most stubborn mascara!) . It can remove my Relian Mascara effectively tho. So most of the time, Im using this to clear all make up on my face plus using Mandom Beauty cleansing express Eye Make up Remover for my eye make up.

Plus, its free from alcohol, preservative, oil, fragant, colorant which is very good for sensitive skin.

Overall, this is going to be something that I will repurchase. For Malaysian, you can find this at Watson or Jusco. I forgot the price but I think its around RM28-RM3X something which is affordable for a huge 300ml bottle.

My rating: 7/10 (I wish it can remove my MM mascara)

Review: Mandom Beauty Cleansing Express Eye Make Up Remover

Price : Around RM22++ something from Watson
Size : 140ml

Available at other store like Jusco as well.

I was looking for a replacement of my Maybelline Make Up remover which almost finished that time as I accidentally spilled almost half bottle of it on the floor*ouch*. I decided to find other brand since the Maybelline wasnt really effective in removing my Volume cat eye mascara. After looking around, my eye caught on a new standee at Watson with Mandom Cleansing Express range product which I believed just been brought to Malaysia. I saw the eye make up remover and straight away love the packaging (I am sucky for cute packaging). However, since I never heard this brand before, I decided to put it on hold to search for some reviews.

And I found lots of good reviews about this make up remover so few days later I came back and straight grab this to the cashier.

First of all, I really love the printed details on the bottle as it quite cute and has the high quality feeling.

Isnt it pretty?


The bottle tip is like most of other make up remover out there. You need to pour this on cotton pad and start your erasing process.


The product consist of 2 layers of oil, so must shake it well before using.


So, is it work as what other people claims? For me, it works quite well on my eyeliner and eye shadow as I need only 1 - 2 rub before they vanished from my eye. However, I also found out that I still need to put some effort to remove my Maybelline Cat eye mascara. It kinda a bit disappointing as I was hoping to find something which can rub this easily from my lashes. I guess the mascara itself is the type that very hard to remove.

See how dirty is the cotton pad after single wipe.

My eyes was actually cleaned after that except for my eyelashes which still have traces of stubborn mascara.

Of course after that you need to clean your face thoroughly with cleanser.


Overall, I think this product is ok, and I can assure it work better than the Maybelline one. I might consider in repurchasing this, as the price is cheap for 140ml of product and it work except on my mascara. But I believed it will work well in removing other brand of mascara, so hopefully I already change my mascara by the time I repurchase this product.

My rating:
4 out of 5 star on my eyeshadow and eyeliner
3 out of 5 star on my Maybelline cat eye mascara.
