Glycerin: Provides optimum hydration to replenish and revitalize your skin’s appearance.

I received a sachet of this cleanser as part of my August Bellabox. My skin can never take well to foaming cleansers but I do like exfoliating cleaners which I have used before, under Biotherm and I like it very much.

Meant for normal and oily skin and being a foaming cleanser, I was not really keen on it, except for the exfoliation part. Foaming cleansers usually left a squeaky clean feeling and making my skin too dry. Surprisingly, despite having the exfoliating beads in it, its not drying but leave the skin feeling soft, supple and smooth. Still, there was a very slight flakiness around my nostrils.

The beads are tiny and hardly abrasive. It gives a good deep cleanse to the skin at the end of the day.
However, I avoid the cleanser on my eczema flare-up days or when my skin is irritated or dehydrated.
I like to use it on clogged skin, oily skin or optimal skin, just to exfoliate away the dead cells for a fresh new look.
