Hey everyone, so if you have been following me on IG stories the last 3 weeks I think you can guess what cleansers are being shown here #bwspotseries .
For those who might have missed my stories, these are my high-grade cleansers for acne-prone skin & city life and I decanted these them just before I set off on my travels ( rotating between them and the Dermaviduals Gentle Cleansing Milk for the last 3 weeks).
Q: So what makes these two cleansers HG for oily acne-prone skin.
A: The beautiful balancing act of being extremely powerful and yet gentle at the same time.
@isclinical IS Clinical Cleanser – This is an excellent lightly foaming cleanser that combines powerful ingredients Sugar cane extract & Willow bark extracts (sources of Glycolic Acid and Salicin) for deep cleansing and purifying action on the skin. Yet for a few, it can be a tad drying (as I found out when I used it consecutively) in which case my personal recommendation is to alternate this with a more gentle cleanser, reserving this for evening use and a gentle relatively low foaming cleanser for AM use. Again ISClinical can do no wrong as a brand that focuses exclusively on acne-prone persons in producing simple and effective products to keep blemish-prone skins clear.
@biologique_recherche LAIT VIP O2 – This is an all-time favourite and ultimate HG cream cleanser. If you are traveling often, living in polluted cities, stressed out between jobs, children, family, work and life commitments, noticing unwanted blemishes or suffering breakouts then you might want to look into this cleanser. This cleanser has never failed me. It is effective and at the same time non-drying. Usually, cleansers with Salicylic Acid can be a little drying (the more foaming action the more drying), this cleanser has none of these traits and is equally deep cleansing in fact, It is a beautifully hydrating cleanser for blemish-prone skins.
TIPS & NOTES:
So for those who haven’t had much luck with IS Clinical Cleanser and need a little more hydration from their cleanser without compromising on purifying skills, I would definitely give this a go. For those who like their cleansers to be a more of a one-step remove makeup and cleanse then the IS Clinical Gel cleanser will perform better in removing makeup ( with the BR cleanser you will really need to massage it deeply into the skin to lift makeup).
**Just a note, I prefer to use micellar water to remove makeup first.
