With the recent trend in cosmetic labels collaborating with other brands such as Marvel, Disney, Kakao, Gudetama, etc, it was only a matter of time before we’d see a Pokemon collaboration, thanks to Tonymoly, renowned for its cute and playful products.
Running out of my cleanser and wanting an excuse to buy the Pokemon collection, I purchased the ‘Fairy brightening foam cleanser’ first on my list. There’s also Pikachu for moisture, Bulbasaur for your Pores, and Squirtle for Hydrating. I’ve never used a brightening cleanser but in the past used other cream-based products for whitening to give a comparison.

Tonymoly Fairi Brightening Foam Cleanser Review:
The consistency of this cleanser is velvety smooth, making it a lot easier to foam up and spread, only using a small amount of product. After following the instructions and rinsing off, my skin was a little dry afterward, so probably not the best option for a cleanser for those who easily experience dry skin, etc.
Looking in the mirror, the first thing I noticed was my complexion and skin tone. My skin was a lot brighter and looked full of vitality. My redness and uneven skin tone looked softly airbrushed and the felt of my skin had become very supple and soft. My pores weren’t as noticeable and above all the grapefruit scent leaves your skin feeling very refreshed.
I also noticed that my scars were less apparent than the dark shade they normally look. However, I wouldn’t recommend using this as an everyday cleanser though. I have used better foam cleansers that work just as well if not better and they don’t dry my skin out. The packaging was simple, fun, filled with soft simple colors underneath a matte finish, and most of all CUTE! ^_^ .
Conclusion:
3/5 pokeballs. Even though I wouldn’t repurchase this again, it did a decent job at brightening and evening out my skin tone as it claims it does, also making my scars less apparent. The Grapefruit fragrance is perfect and not too overbearing. I wouldn’t recommend this to people who suffer from dry skin as it did dry out my skin a bit. I’ve definitely used better cleansers but I’ve also had many that are worse
