L'Occitane Immortelle Brightening Cleansing Foam

Immortelle- noun. mostly widely cultivated species of everlasting flowers having usually purple flowers; southern Europe to Iran; naturalized elsewhere (www.dictionary30.com) 

Could you imagine the earth without flowers? How dull would our surroundings be without it? Not only could flowers make the world a joy to live in but it could also do your skin good! 

I've always been curious on how mousse cleansers felt on the skin. I would usually only use cleansers that don't really lather and cleansers that foam up a bit, because I have that mindset that the lesser soap included equates to lesser irritation. 

I got my L'Occitane Immortelle Foaming Cleanser about 3 months ago and I would only use it once in a while and only every mornings. 

Product Description:
This gentle foaming cleanser lathers away impurities, make-up, and accumulation of daily or nightly residue. A combination of Immortelle flower water and citrus peel extract leaves complexion evenly toned and more radiant. Skin is gently but thoroughly cleansed, skin is left soft and comfortable. Suitable for all skin types.

The product comes in a blue transparent packaging with a pump and cap. 

The product looks like plain water inside the bottle but few bubbles form on top when shook. The bottle looks durable and with just one pump, a huge blob of mousse/ foam comes out. You only need one pump for the whole face so the product would last a loooong time. 

I tried using it day, mid and night everyday for a week because I got hooked! The foam is so soft, the product smells flowery and citrus-y at the same time, and it just really felt so good, I am not kidding! The smell of the cleanser even clings on your face for a long time! But then it came to a point when my face would itch every time I would use it and I realized that it may be drying my skin too much. :(

So, I lessened my usage and would limit it to once or twice a week and only every mornings. But now, I only use it once a week because I love my other cleanser more hehe :P It doesn't cause any more irritation. It's true, too much of anything is bad bad bad!

What I like:

• the scent is amazing and addictive, I just love it!
• you only need one pump for the whole face
• packaging is nice and durable
• cleansing the face with it is just.. heaven! haha (exag?)
• gentle on the skin (if used in moderation)

What I dislike:

• too much of it can cause irritation (well, maybe it's just me) 
• the price boo!

Final verdict? It's an OK cleanser. It's fun to wash with; there are better cleansers out there, I'm sure.  But for a mousse cleanser, this is one great option!
