Bifesta Konnyaku Revolution

It has been a long-long while since I last blogged... and... I'm back with a review! 

If you don't already know, Bifesta is one of the few trusted makeup remover brands that I normally use. They have recently launched the new Konnyaku jelly format that treats skin so gently while removing makeup and oil from the deepest pores.


The prettily packaged jelly makeup removers come in 3 formulas to address different skincare and beauty needs. Guess which is my fave? 

What is Konnyaku?

It is also known as Konjac; a plant that is well known as a health food due to is dietary fibre and moisture content.

It is also popular as a beauty product thanks to its smooth, soft texture and effective, gentle cleansing ability.



Thanks to its smooth jelly-like texture, it cushions your delicate skin against cleansing motion without causing undue friction and tugging.

Bifesta Konnyaku Cleansing Gel (Scrub-in) $16.90
Fragrance free, Colorant free

How to use?
Dispense a cherry-sized amount onto palms and spread evenly over face. Massage gently and thoroughly to remove and lift away makeup. Rinse off well with water.

The Konnyaku jelly ingredient feels really gentle on the skin. It glides easily on skin and leaves no oily after-feel. The Konnyaku exfoliants do not feel harsh on my sensitive skin at all. My skin feels thoroughly cleansed, smooth and clear thereafter. Glad that there is no redness, itchiness or whatsoever.

By the way, do use a separate eye makeup remover as this is only meant to be used for the face.


Bifesta Konnyaku Cleansing Gel (Clay-in) $16.90
Fragrance free, Colorant free

How to use?
Dispense a cherry-sized amount onto palms and spread evenly over face. Massage gently and thoroughly to remove and lift away makeup. Rinse off well with water.

This is my fave of the three. It feels gentler on the skin, as compared to the scrub variant. However, it has a higher cleansing ability thanks to the Okinawa sea clay ingredient. This lovely ingredient deep cleanses and absorbs excess sebum stuck in pores to reveal clearer skin. My skin does not feel too squeaky clean thereafter. 

I tried using it to remove my light eye makeup (just waterproof eyeliner)... and it removes really well! It is so gentle that it does not sting the eyes.


Bifesta Konnyaku Cleansing Gel Liquid $18.90
Fragrance free, Colorant free, Paraben free

How to use?
Dispense about 2 pumps onto palms and spread evenly over face. Massage gently and thoroughly to remove and lift away makeup. Rinse off well with water (preferably warm).

To me, this is more of a cleansing oil than liquid. Well, it contains natural orange oil. But it does not feel as oily as the conventional cleansing oils. 

If you are lazy to use a a separate eye makeup remover, this is the right one for you. It dissolves all your face makeup, even hard-to-remove waterproof mascara.


Available at all leading supermarkets, personal care stores, western pharmacies and departmental stores.
