This underdog’s got game.
It’s unlikely that you’d think of beauty products hailing from Thailand when it comes to skincare expertise. Most likely, neighboring Asian countries would come in mind, coupled with some Western recommendations here and there — and for all good reason.
But that doesn’t mean Thai skincare got no cards to pull.
In fact, we’ve heard a little rumor that Thai drugstores are stocked up with a certain skincare line that spells purity and quality right at its very core.
The culprit? MizuMi Skincare. Yup, we’re name dropping and we’re not one bit ashamed.
A minimalist skincare line that has no frills, no extras. Front and center is its 5-Free Promise of no fragrance, oil, paraben, alcohol, and synthetic colors.
We say why not. So let’s sink our toes, shall we?
The Basic Three: Facial Cleanser, Cleansing Water, and Sunscreen
Right out of the bat, we’ll pre-empt and confidently say: this skincare is worth the try.
They’re straightforward products that deliver.
No funky smell, no stingy or painful feel upon application, no confusing texture. It just works.
So allow us to drill down and give our first impression on The Basic Three:
Extra Mild Facial Cleanser:
If there was such thing as a dual product that serves as both a cleanser and a moisturizer, then this product wins that. It’s like a cream cleanser (if there was a word). Not too bubbly, nor too foamy. A small amount goes a long way.
Smooth Cleansing Water:
You know that annoying feeling when you have to put more cleansing water because your cotton pad is already full of make-up? Nope, not this one. It feels like an insta-eraser. For real. It’s like magic water. And a must-mention: we are amazed with that no stingy fragrance!
UV Water Serum SPF 50+:
This has got to be our favorite. No sticky feeling, no white cast, no wait time to dry before you put make-up. This sunscreen is so good. Put a good amount on your T-zone and spread — and it’ll dry so quick you can even put a second layer. A must!
So if we haven’t made it clear—Thai skincare is worth a try. And we’d definitely recommend MizuMi as the first brand to try.
After all, we only want you to invest in products you’ll love long-term—not just for a one-time fling. Shop more Thai beauty products on ZALORA today!
