If you live in the tropics (like me), you probably have a coconut related stuff in your home: cooking oil, dip, dessert, fresh coco juice, coco beauty oil made by your grandma, bunot (coco shell used to make your wooden floor super shiny), and the list goes on. That’s why I really got curious when I saw Scinic Coconut Cleansing Water while browsing shelves in the department store.
I’m really glad that
Scinic now made it’s way here in the Philippines. I’ve read a lot of good
reviews with other Scinic products, that’s why I didn’t hesitate trying the
Coconut Cleansing Water.
Ultra-simple cleansing water removes
impurities and makeup residue from the skin and cleanses pores without leaving
any sticky feel behind.

The first thing you’ll comment on Scinic Coconut Cleansing Water is how huge the bottle is. It’s 500ml and definitely not travel friendly but probably will last a little long.
I thought that it has colorants since it’s color blue but I was wrong, it’s just the bottle. It’s clear and fragrance-free, definitely a check if you have a sensitive skin.
I swatched waterproof/smudge-proof makeups (except for Nature Republic Eyebrow tint and It’s My Bong Tint) to test how easy to remove makeup with Scinic Coconut Cleansing Water.
You have to soak your cotton with the cleansing water and gently rub the cotton in your skin. In this test, at first swipe, it only removed a few make-up. I was able to remove everything using both sides of one rectangular cotton pad.
But for my face, using regular powder foundation or cushion, concealer, eyebrow pencil, and blush-on, I have to use 3 to 4 cotton pad to remove all my make-up (my foundation is just thin and single layer). It’s actually double the amount of cotton (and probably product) from my previous Bi-Festa Cleansing Lotion. If you actually use a more make-up probably you’ll need more.
But I love how gentle Scinic Coconut Cleansing Water is and
it doesn’t sting my eyes and nose whenever I use this. It also doesn’t leave a
dry and tight feeling after using it and no breakouts so far after 3 weeks of
use. Though it claims that it doesn’t need to be washed off, I still do wash my
face afterwards to make sure that every make-up trace is removed. Double
cleansing is still the way to go.
I actually would love to try other Scinic products. I’m
crossing my fingers that it’ll launch different products in the local market
soon.
