As far as I know, Petitfee is a relatively less-heard-of Korean brand of skincare products. I can’t say much about the brand’s other products since I’ve never tried them before, but they include hydrogel eye patches, masks, and hand and foot packs. This is a hydrogel soap, so it is not your typical hard bar or ball of soap~ it is made of squishy hydrogel ^^
I heard of this product by reading a review about it on Jolse.com. It sounded really good, so I thought to try it. It wasn’t too expensive, so I thought, why not? 🙂
It was amusing when I first saw the soap when I received it, because when I took it out of the box it was a round squishy ball sealed in a plastic bag with some liquid soap essence in it. It didn’t look (or feel) like any other soap I’ve tried, it’s basically like a round, firm, squishy ball of firm jello in a fine netting material (a bit like cheesecloth). I kept the soap ball and the liquid soap in a ceramic jar with a lid, later on transferring it to a screw-top container. I think storing it this way will help it keep its moisture longer, since it shouldn’t dry out.
My first impression in using this was WOW does it smell strong! As someone with sensitive skin, I was a little worried that my skin would freak out from the strong floral-ish perfume. Thankfully, it didn’t bother my skin at all, in fact, it seemed that my skin loved the soap! My skin did feel more moisturized, and I understood what other reviewers meant when they said they didn’t feel “skins pulling at each other”. I loved the soap so much that I kind of panicked when I was going to go on a trip a few days after I started using the soap and didn’t want to be without it, even though I was concerned about the carry-on gel/liquid allowance. I made sure to have it with me despite the gel/liquid restrictions haha XD
The soap stays as a lovely round ball for about a week or more, depending on how you use it, then I noticed first it sort of splits in half, then into smaller and smaller pieces. This is not really a problem in terms of its effectiveness, but it’s nice to have it as a ball. At about the 1-month mark of using it daily, it becomes pretty much like mushy jello in a bag, which is unavoidable, as you do have to kind of squish it around in your hands to form a lather.
So this soap lasts about a month or a little over a month, but I think that’s pretty good. It would be nice if it lasted a little longer, but I do use it twice a day, so I think it’s a pretty good lifetime. I usually use this as a second cleansing, after I wash all of my makeup off with a stronger cleanser. I find this to be gentler in cleansing, but heavy on the moisturizing. I use this alone when washing my face in the morning, though.
I really love this soap and will continue to repurchase.. I already have my third one! 😉 If you’re interested in trying this soap out too, you can find it here for around $7 USD.
