Senka perfect whip acne care review

Senka Perfect Whip for Acne is a Japanese facial wash that forms a super-rich foam with fine bubbles to give you a perfect cleansing experience without drying out your skin.

This face wash for acne specializes in alleviating acne and preventing rough skin. Contains an active ingredient effective for both of these skin troubles.

Dense micro foam gently removes the dirt and dullness on your face, and leads to a brighter skin tone and complexion. It also adopts a special hydration technology to provide a refreshing sensation.

Perfect Whip is noted for the comfortably soft and fluffy foam derived from its formula made from natural silk essence and two hyaluronic acids. In addition, the foam has a refreshing herbal floral scent that perfectly matches with the foam. The creamy lather of this foaming cleanser will make your bath time more enjoyable.

Senka Perfect Whip has a lightweight texture that contains hydrating components such as amino acid to smooth and keep the skin barrier hydrated. Our customers love this product as it’s gentle on the skin, making it perfect for everyday use.

I have heard of Senka Perfect Whip quite recently. This Japanese beauty brand was not distributed in Dubai (and apparently it’s still not yet distributed in physical stores in the Philippines as of press time). But, when I went back home, during a random ‘titas of Manila’ conversation, a friend started yapping about her best beauty find from Japan, the Senka Perfect Whip, and its immaculate results. I told myself, out of curiosity, to give it a try.

Before I began using this facial cleanser, I asked around and read a number of other reviews (but will get to this later) to know first exactly what is Senka Perfect Whip. I’ve learned that the Senka Perfect Whip comes under the umbrella of Shiseido (yes, the mother ship of luxury brands, Shiseido!) under its most affordable brand range: Senka.

Senka offers a full line of skincare and body care including facial cleansers, makeup removers, moisturizers, body soap, sunscreen and more. A consistent customer favorite among Senka’s lineup is the smoothing foam that promises pore-less, flawless face: the Senka Perfect Whip. Loved by Japanese women for years, the Perfect Whip is also a famous drugstore buy for the tourists who have heard about it. More so, its ingredients are deemed safe for use, without any unusual chemicals included.

Knowing these actually didn’t help in setting expectations for Senka Perfect Whip. In my mind, it was a totally life-changing cleanser that’s able to live up to what it is famous for – you know, the highly-dense ‘marshmallow-like’ foam that penetrates into pores to clean impurities and excess sebum, thus leaving skin clean, soft and hydrated.

Will it be really as fun and foamy as it looked on its circulated videos? Will it provide the silky, smooth touch that it has been buzzed about? Is it gentle and refreshing while cleansing and moisturizing?

Upon finally giving it a go, Senka Perfect Whip provided the texture of smooth facial foam, but it was not able to be as foamy as I imagined it to be. Apparently, you need to put a few drops of water to create the huge foam. But more than the foamy form, I think what was great when I applied it on my face was that it glided through quite fluidly with its lotion-like silky texture, delivering a slightly fragrant lightweight feel. For about thirty seconds of massaging it onto my face, it hinted the cleansing motion that I hoped for. It also washed away with water very easily despite being soapy.

Once rinsed off, I noticed my skin to be clean, bright and smooth, which was the usual case for me whenever after cleansing. So I tried it a few more times to gauge the result better. What I noticed though was it could not take off traces of mascara and eyeliner, and that it gave that tight feeling after a few minutes of drying the face. I have terribly dry skin, and so I suspected that Senka Perfect Whip was not the best bet for a hydrating cleanser that I definitely need.

Other than that, Senka Perfect Whip is suited for normal skin (but they promote it for all types of skin), and I will recommend it as a daily facial cleanser especially when not wearing too much makeup. It won’t provide the heavy lifting on removing makeup, but it can be a great match when double cleansing.

Ever since discovering Perfect Whip in one of the most memorable moments of my blogging career (Shiseido Press Trip Japan 2013), I have never looked back and it remains as one of my most favorite facial cleansers. This is one of those facial cleansers that my skin continues to love; I've been seeing posts saying that this is actually a high alkaline product and should be used sparingly, but my skin has never had any bad experience with it in my 9 years of usage; I guess it really depends on what your skin can tolerate! But what do I know? I'm no dermatologist. :D

But as for my skin and Perfect Whip, both are a good match!

I was stoked when Perfect Whip arrived in the Philippines around 2 or 3 years ago. Finally, no need to order abroad. I'm also glad that they started releasing different variants of Perfect Whip to address different concerns. Let me show you how you can find the right one for you!

Senka Perfect Whip now has five variants locally:

PERFECT WHIP U- with 40%+ beauty serum. This is just a more moisturizing version of the original because it has more serum in it.

PERFECT WHIP- the original, which also remains as one of my favorites.

WHITE CLAY- for individuals with large pores and are prone to blackheads; this has clay extract that helps declog pores. It also has moisturizing ingredients so your skin won't feel taut and dry, which is sometimes the downside of clay products.

ORIGINAL- still one of my favorites! Lovely clean scent and gives me a non-drying, thorough clean.

ACNE CARE- has Salicylic Acid that helps manage breakouts and clean and soothe popped zits; I love using this when I have a popped zit so that Salicylic Acid can penetrate and kill any remaining acne- causing bacteria inside the wound.

BERRY BRIGHT- with berry extracts that brighten the skin. This one smells really energizing that's why I like using it in the morning.

COLLAGEN-IN- I don't have this anymore because I've used it up already so it's not in the photo. This product is enriched with Silk Cocoon and beauty serum that envelops skin in extra moisture, making it good for aging and dry skin.

All products have the same nice, frothy, moisturizing foam, one of Perfect Whip's key characteristics that I love, but the only difference lies in the actives. Whatever Perfect Whip variant you choose, you'll still get the same, moisturizing foam that a lot of users love.

Senka Perfect Whip is P279 for a 120g tube and P120.00 for a 50g tube.

I also reviewed Perfect Whip HERE years ago.

How I wish they brought their Perfect Oil Makeup Remover and Perfect Gel Makeup Remover to the country too, but Senka's quite new and surely, they'll bring in more of their products soon. We just have to wait for it. ;)
