My Opinion:

I got this from SASA and this product is really weird , because it says in the instruction that it is a foaming gel and it should be emulsify with water, but if you have used it in accordance to the instruction you would have notice that it does not work like that.

I've noticed that the chinese and english instruction does not matches, according to the chinese instruction you are supposed to apply it on dry skin and rub it off to remove dead skin cells, in other words, this is a peeling gel and not a cleansing gel.

I don't know what kind of company is capable of making such kind of mistakes on their instructions, but since I couldn't find it's official webpage, I'm starting to be really dubious about this brand....

My Opinion:

The packaging of the old version really sucks, it comes in a pump that you have to work really hard to get the product out, and I've really appreciated that they've changed its packaging.

In terms of the whitening effect, it does brighten up my face instantly, but the effect won't last for more then a day.
