Review: Shiseido Perfect Whip Facial Wash

First of all, happy November! I've decided to do another product review, because this wash has been doing wonders for my skin, but not many people seem to know about this product. 

It is...

Shiseido Sengansenka Perfect Whip Facial Wash!

A mouthful, I know.

I ordered this on Amazon after reading some good reviews, even though I was a little hesitant about actually using it. (Although I know Shiseido has really good products.) My skin is really sensitive, and I've tried at least 4 different cleansers these past 5 months alone, and the last thing I wanted to end up with is contact dermatitis. But I needed a new cleanser that I thought would actually work, so I bought it anyway. 
As it turns out, this cleanser is actually working very well for me! Unlike other cleansers I've used in the past, this one doesn't make my skin itch after I wash it off. 

The fact that the entire bottle is in Japanese shouldn't deter you, because it's not like it's difficult to use a cleanser. I'll start out by saying that the name is just a little bit misleading. The cleanser itself isn't very foamy...

and no, my nails aren't dirty. it's the glitter polish i'm wearing.

It looks like this, straight out of the tube. It can almost be considered sticky and just a bit stringy. However, if you put it directly on your face like this, it's going to be pretty uncomfortable. You should dab your entire face with some water, just to dampen it a bit before applying the cleanser. This makes rubbing it around much easier, and it feels better, too.

This is what the cleanser should look like on your face.

It's still not quite foamy like the name implies, but it does the job. I like to rub it around in little circles for a few minutes, wait about 30 seconds, then wash it off. It's not gritty at all, so your face will be nice and smooth. I like to apply my green tea cleanser afterwards, just in case my skin does get a little dry. 

All in all, it's a very good cleanser and I highly recommend it! I have to say, it's probably the best cleanser I've ever used, and that's coming from someone who's tried out over 10 different cleansers over the years. It's gentle on the skin, has a pleasing little scent to it, and doesn't leave your skin feeling itchy or gritty.
