ms_pookie's Full Review: Shiseido Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam
I received a set of Shiseido products and one of the products was a 1-ounce tube of Shiseido Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam.
The Product
The full-size version of Shiseido Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam is 4.2 ounces and retails for $32. It targets the skin type of normal and dry skin. The one that I have is a one ounce tube that was part of a Shiseido Set.

My Experience
Shiseido Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam delivers a huge amount of creamy cleansing foam at a hefty price.
The cleanser targets mature skin that is normal to dry. My skin isn't mature (not yet, anyway!) and I'd like to keep it that way, which is why I decided to give the cleanser a try. The cleanser is thick and retains its shape as it is squeezed from the circular opening of the tube. The cleanser has a beige color with some light orange flecks scattered inside the cleanser. There is a light fragrance to it that has a perfumy scent to it; the fragrance is very minimal and doesn't linger around much after the cleanser is rinsed away. Only a very tiny bit of cleanser is needed to produce a good amount of foam. I am quite impressed by the foaming action of the Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam. It really does foam up very nicely and the creamy, foam applies wonderfully to skin.
The cleanser is easy to rinse off, but if too much is applied, then it will take several splashes to fully rinse away the cleanser. After I dry my face, I notice that my face is clean and is without any filmy residue. My skin does not have that taut feeling of excess oil removal. The cleanser effectively removes my makeup, which is usually just a powder foundation and a little bit of blush. I like how my skin feels after using the Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam as it is clean and full of moisture. I still moisturize with a facial cream after using the cleanser.
I do like the Shiseido Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam as it foams up really well, feels great when applied to skin, and rinses away cleanly. The only thing I do not like about this cleanser is the steep price of $32 for one full-size 4.2 ounce tube! Yikes! The cleanser will last a long while, especially since only a tiny wee-bit is needed for each cleaning, so the 4.2 ounce tube will last a good few months. Even when taking that into consideration, I still find it difficult to shell out $32 for one tube of cleanser!
I doubt I will purchase a full-size tube of the Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam despite the good results of the cleanser. I can get similar, non-drying results from different cleansers at a fraction of the cost. However, I will recommend this cleanser for those who don't mind the $32 price.
Overall Thoughts
Shiseido Benefiance Creamy Cleansing Foam is an excellent cleanser that does not strip skin of moisture, leaves skin clean and fresh, and foams up beautifully. The only ugliness of this product is its steep price of $32!
