My verdict:

• has a nice, pleasant, soft, gentle, feminine, scent that is not overpowering
• cleanses quite nicely
• gentle on your face
• not drying
• bottle has a nice hole opening on the top of the bottle that does not leak or squirt too much product
• convenient size to carry around - travel friendly
• nice bottle - although it looks opaque, you can actually see how much product is inside =)
• refreshing
• not sure about the "whitening" effect, that was not why this product interest me, it was the "two in one" feature.
• NOTE: I'm not trying to "whiten" my face or do any sort of "whitening", this product interest me due to its "two in one" feature that lots of the other products I've seen so far, do not have.

The cost of this product is super cheap if you think about it in US or Australian dollar. For that kind of price, you would not expect much, but I'm rather nicely surprised by its cleansing power and doing it ever so gently and not drying. You just feel clean and refreshed. I think I might have to get more before I head back to Australia! Or if I find any other similar ones I'll have to try them out and test them for myself! Hehehe...

A little bit about Mustika Ratu~
