*Disclaimer: None of the links in this review is an affiliate link. I am an Althea brand ambassador but I am NOT paid to write this review or test the product. The product was something purchased with free Althea store credit.
B-Lab is a Korean cosmetics brand whose sole purpose is to create cleansing products hence their entire line is only made up of, well, cleansers. With very simple, no fluff packaging they focus on good quality natural ingredients and effective cleansing methods.
I got the smaller one to test but because Althea was so generous to give me store credit, I went for the large 500ml one. It is a simple squeeze bottle and the black cap can screw all the way off so one could definitely reuse the bottle for something else.
Ingredient list is in Korean so I did have to refer to Althea and Google translate for information.

Swatch test
From left to right, hard to remove liquid lip, blue liquid liner, concealer, tough to remove waterproof mascara, three pigmented eyeshadows.
Pretty good, considering, that mascara is the devil’s spawn and that liquid lipstick belongs on the Sahara desert because it dries out the lips like none I’ve tried!
Pros:
Light on the skin.
Very effective at removing makeup.
Skin feels refreshed after using.
Love the reusable bottle!
Very natural ingredients!
Cons:
Tiny bit of sticky feeling after use.
Does burn my eyes but it isn’t as bad as some others.
VERY bitter! DO NOT recommend using this on the lips!
Rating: 8/10
The price is not too bad for the amount of product and it performs pretty well but I’d look to the drugstores for my tried and tested.
