Everything is written in chinese, but since I never paid attention in chinese class I just don't understand anything... at all. *such a failure*

SASA didn't have a lot of information so I had to do research! and research says....

Green/Mung Beans cleanser 300ml Refill pack

transferred in a empty container

Manufactured date and expiration date

At the time I bought this from sasa the one with the container was unavailable, so I bought a refill pack instead. 

Product Description taken from SASA: 

Kuan Yuan Lian Green Beans Cleanser is created with natural green beans, which are rich in Vitamin A, B and C. After cleansing, skin feels fresh without sensation of greasiness or tightness. The nutrients in green beans could therefore permeate into skin. Skin looks nourished, youthful and healthy.

I bought both from SASA earlier this year, and ever since this has been one of my favorite multi use cleanser. 

As a cleanser: 

Add drops of water into a proper amount of Green Beans Cleanse. Mix well until it turns to dense clay. Massage over skin for 1 minute so that it emulsifies. Then rinse off with lukewarm water. Afterwards, pat skin with cold 

water to tighten pores.

As a Mask: 

Follow the above method to cleanse face. Then blend the clay over face. Leave on for 5-10 minutes.

A teaspoon amount

Depending on the amount of water, it can be runny or mudlike.

I personaly prefer mudlike since I feel it is easier to spread around. Between the  2 types I don't really see any difference. They both smell like fresh green beans, very earthy.

Pros:

-> Smells very fresh and earthy

-> Works amazing at drying/healing pimples

-> Less breakout

-> Evens out skintone

-> Multi use

-> Skin looks healthy and bright right after

-> exfoliates skin

-> Affordability

Cons:

-> Can be drying for those with dry skin (I use this 2-4x a week)

-> Can cause skin sensitivity, redness (scrub gently)

-> Can be messy, and can spill if not careful

-> Availability (Not Local, but is available on SASA and BONJOURHK for those in Asia)

This is, like I mentioned earlier one of my favorite cleansers, I usually use this right after I remove my makeup (on too much makeup days) or as a mask on days when my skin is problematic.
