Youd use a wipe to get rid of your makeupbefore working out.
And on Wednesdays, youd exfoliate.
Youd be a dermatologists dream.
But this is the real world.
This cleanser didn’t dry out my skin, and I wasn’t hurrying toapply moisturizer after washing.
My face felt refreshed and hydrated.
Even though its a gel cleanser, it produced a nice lather.
It rinsed off easily as well.
There is a slight chemical smell but it didnt bother me.
Overall, my skin was left soft and hydrated.
However, once you start rubbing it, it smoothes out like other oils andreally cleans.
This removed all of my makeup easily, and left my skin feeling already moisturizedwithout any kind of residue.
This was an easy winner for me.
It also helped dry out a couple pimples I had popping up.
It felt coarse when I applied it and got softer but didnt melt completely.
After using it on my skin for the first time, I could feel the difference.
My skin felt softer to the touch and it had a gentle glow.
I also liked how it absorbed into my skin as it sat.
It was also the onlychemical exfoliantin the bunch that made my skin feel hydrated, not dry.
I didn’t have to run to put on moisturizer right away.
I also liked that these wipes dont have any soapy residue when you pull one out of the pack.
They didnt leave my skin feeling greasy at all.
This took all my eye makeup off, although I did have to use one wipe per eye.
Bonus: It’s fragrance-free.
Plus, the little scrubber it comes with and the aromatherapy smell makes it feel like a spa moment.
