[Battle Review] Garnier Duo Clean Whitening + Pore Minimizing, Hada Labo Gokujyun & Acnes Oil Control Face Wash

Hi Guys, what is your favourite face wash? Do you use the same face wash all the time? Me, I use face wash based on my skin condition. If I use one same face wash all the time, sometimes it gives bad effect on my skin. 

 Now, battle review between 3 face washes of mine. I bought them at the same time. Actually, the three work well on me. But they work in the special condition of my face. What conditions are they? Check them out, girls!

Garnier, Acnes and Hada Labo Face Wash

Let me introduce you to : (1) Garnier Duo Clean Whitening + Pore Minimizing Duo Foam, (2). Hada Labo Gokujyun Face Wash, and (3) Acnes Oil Control Face Wash.

 Their consistency

Their  consistencies are quite similar. They're cream in different color. Garnier has black color and thicker than Hada Labo. Acnes has white color. Acnes also has green beads so the color is white with green beads. Acnes is a little bit green than Hada Labo which has pure white color.

Acnes and Hada Labo are produced by same company, Hada Labo Indonesia. That's maybe the reason why they have same term 'face wash' while Garnier's is called Face Foam. Garnier is from brand Garnier of course.

 Granier Duo Clean FaceFoam

First, I will review Garnier product. This is a new product from Garnier. I really like their concept, they mix two active ingredients (black rice and white rice) to get two function (whitening and pore minimizing). Actually, they have 2 more variants but I chose this one because I have problem with my big pores.

This product's enriched with black rice and white rice extracts known for their skin renewal and property and nourishing power. It deeply cleanses the skin, visibly reduces the pore size, and helps brighten up skin tone.

Garnier's ingredients

The result :
Yepp, I can see that my pore size getting small, and small, but I'm not sure it's just because of this product. I've used the pore minimizing product that works really well at the same time. For whitening, again, I also using lightening product and works well too. So, for the claims (whitening and pore minimizing), I'm not really sure about its effects.

What I really like from this product is it give me clean face afterward. Yeah, as a face wash, I just need my face become clean. It gives normal smooth effect. That's why I usually use this product daily. It doesn't make my face dry. It also doesn't hinder my acne become drying. It's just perfect for daily use.

 Hada Labo Gokujyun Face Wash

Second is Hada Labo Face Wash. Hada Labo has philosophy perfect x simple, so this product is fragrant and colorant free. This product enriched with 2 types of Hyaluranic Acid : (1). Improved Hyaluranic Acid (AcHA) to hydrate skin twice than Hyaluranic Acid, and (2). Hyaluranic Acid, this one gram Hyaluronic Acid helps locking water up to 6 Liter.

It functions are removes dirt and provides high hydration for supple and soft skin. It doesn't contain fragrant, colorant, mineral oil, and ethanol. It also has low irritation level. You will find the best result if you use all of this Hada Labo Gokujyun Ultimate Moisturizing series.

Hada Labo Gokujyun's Ingredients

The result :
I use this product when my skin is dry. Cold weather usually make my skin become drier. This product is the rescuer. Sadly, I can't use this product while having acne. This product made my acne difficult to dry.

 Acnes Oil Control Facial Wash

The last one is Acnes Oil Control Face Wash. I'm a big fan of this product. I've used this product since months before, but in different variants. I've tried whitening, deep pore cleanser, and oil control. Which one is the best? I've to say whitening variant is the winner. Acnes whitening is more gentle for my dry skin. It didn't make my skin too dry. It still maintain my smooth skin and doesn't contain many beads so it's not too harsh for skin. I will buy whitening variant after this variant is used up.

For now, Let just talks about this oil control variant. It helps remove excess sebum so instantly you will get oil free looks. It's enriched with natural active ingredients and smooth microbeads to keep skin moist and fresh.

Acnes's ingredients

The result :
This product makes my skin dry. It gives moist effect right after using, but a moment later, my face produces more oil. It makes my face oily hours after using. Then, in general, my face become dry.
However, I have to say that this product is perfect for acne. After using this product (and also others), my acne become dry and dryer. It's doesn't have same effect when I use other products (Granier and Hada Labo Gokuyun Face Wash) with same skin care and make up. Yeah, it helps me with acne problem.

Conclusion :
You can choose one (or all) face washes above based on your skin characteristics.
If you have dry skin, you should choose Hada Labo Gokujyun Face Wash because it helps hydrate your skin.
If you have acne, it's better if you use Acnes Face Wash. You can choose what variant suit you the best.
If you have normal skin, you're very lucky. You can choose whatever face wash do you want. And if you have problem with pore, you may want to try this Granier Duo Clean Face Foam out.

Recommended :
Yep, all of them are recommended. You can choose depend on you skin problem.
