On dry skin, apply a relatively thick layer and leave on for 10 seconds. Add on a little bit of water and very gently massage in circular motions before rinsing off with water.

Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Green Tea comes with a box printed with a nice colour. The tube is transparent and it is easy to keep track of the amount of product left.
It is made as a 2 in 1 cleanser pack for busy people. The green tea are from Jeju Island which is the real colouring and extract in the product.
Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Green Tea contains 6000ppm of green tea and extract. The ingredients are nice with gentle surfactants in it and all the nice plant ingredients such as eggplant, oat, artichoke, aloe, turmeric, aloe vera and etc. Still because it is a cleanser, don't ask too much from it. It works as a
gentle exfoliating cleanser for the skin.
The products is a gelish type of cleanser. It is slightly more watery that straight thick gel. It does contain fragrance, The floral scent is faint to me so I guess it is very small amount.
I use the Althea Real Fresh Skin Detoxer Green Tea every two days at night. I don’t use an oil cleanser or a second cleanser on the night I use Skin Detoxer Green tea. I remove my makeup using micellar water and apply the dime size the skin detoxer green tea on my face. Then wash if off once it hit 10 seconds. There are some small bubbles just like cleanser. The cleansing power is high as it removes everything including sebum proof makeup.
I check the pH with my pH strips and it is around 5-6. My skin is smooth and not irritated after washing off. My skin does look cleaner, brighter, less blackheads and whiteheads. The skin does feel dry if you do not apply anything after the cleanser. I like to wear a sheet mask or sleeping mask after.
I actually use this to
exfoliate my scalp and it works too without messing up my hair. I apply it like how it on my face and then wash it off after 10 seconds. 😃 It makes my scalp clean without irritation.
Tips: avoid using exfoliator (clay mask, peeling gel, high percentage of AHA, BHA, retinoid, retinol, high vitamin C or actives) on days you are using this skin detoxer. As for dry skin, it is better if you use only one of the detoxer every 2 days. Using both on the same day can be really drying. You can also shorten the leave- on-time to 5 seconds. Never leave it more than 10 seconds. One can irritated skin if you mix and use this everyday along with all the actives. You can use it as second cleanser if you are using oil cleanser or micellar water first.
Overall, I do think
Althea Real fresh Skin Detoxer is great for
gentle chemical exfoliation of the skin instead of strong harsh exfoliator. It is also very easy and fast since it comes in form of 10seconds cleanser pack instead of the actives that you need to do long wait time that some fall asleep during their skincare routine. So if you don't have any ingredients that exfoliate your skin, you could have a look at this one.😊
