Product Description:
This is a traditional foaming cleanser with a relatively high pH (around 8, according to pH strips). It claims to exfoliate the skin and control sebum. The formulation includes 0.45% salicylic acid and tea tree leaf oil, known for their acne-fighting properties. It also contains tea tree leaf water and extracts from melia azadirachta (neem) leaf and flower, which are natural ingredients effective in combating acne.
Usage:
Used both morning and evening as a single cleanser in the morning and as the second step in an evening double cleanse.
First Impressions:
The product provides a thorough cleanse, leaving the skin feeling squeaky clean.
Short-Term Results:
Initial use showed a calming effect on acne breakouts.
Long-Term Results:
With extended use, the product effectively managed acne breakouts, although a persistent bump under the skin remained unchanged over a couple of months.
Pros:
- Effective in controlling acne
- Provides a thorough cleanse
- Contains beneficial natural ingredients like tea tree leaf water and neem extracts
Cons:
- High pH level (8) makes it quite stripping and harsh
- Contains tea tree oil, which can be irritating for those sensitive to essential oils
- Daily use of salicylic acid might lead to over-exfoliation if combined with other exfoliating products
Repurchase/Recommend:
While I may not repurchase this product in favor of the gentler Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam, it is recommended for those with acne-prone skin due to the positive experience.
Overall Rating:
4/5
