I am lucky to be a happy bella who received this sample from the last BDJ Box Social Camp Gorgeous event held at SM North Edsa Sky Dome. Since I need to remove my makeup after the event, I decided to try this sample. I have read from another blog way back that this works well in removing makeup, so I want to see it for myself.

To use, pour a moderate amount, and massage it all over the face. You can wipe it off with a tissue, or rinse with warm water. What I did was take a makeup wipe, pour a small amount, and started to remove my eye makeup first, and then the rest of my face. I was wearing the Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara which is very hard to remove, even with my usual Bifesta Cleansing Lotion. I am happy to share that TCFS Sitkoza Cleansing Gel removed my mascara without too much effort! I then wiped the rest of my face and voilà! No trace of makeup left, plus I did not experience any sting, or dryness. I just rinsed my face afterwards, and boy, my face was so soft!

I highly recommend this product, and I will definitely repurchase the full size! 🙂 I think the cost of Php 555 is good enough for a 150 ml product that works!
