I love Physiogel A.I Cream as a solution to tackle my eczema-prone skin ( on body only ) so when Physiogel came up with this Calming Relief range, I redeemed a sample set ( cleanser and cream ) to try it out.
The 10ml Physiogel Calming Relief Gentle Cream Cleanser is my morning cleanser for a week, during the trial. It is recommended to apply it with a cotton pad, wipe off and then rinse. Quite a waste of cotton pads, since I cleanse twice daily, which meant 4 cotton pads a day ( apply and wipe ).
I have been a naughty girl though, I didn't use any cotton pads, but use it like a regular cleanser, with my bare hands. Tested on both dry and wet skin.
The white contents look creamy but not really so, once on the skin. It doesn't foam, and although I am used to non-foaming cleansers and like non-foaming cleansers because it is less drying on my skin, but somehow, the Physiogel Calming Relief Gentle Cream Cleanser feels alittle mild. It didn't feel like the cleanser was cleansing my wet skin. I can't feel the interaction between the cleanser and my skin. My skin still feels rough and dehydrated, although not tight. ( Bad cleansers will make my skin tight. )
On dry skin, the cleanser performs better. There was no instruction if it should be used on wet skin or dry skin so I tried both ways. On dry skin, the cleanser feels much more comfortable although still a little gentle and mild. I would prefer it to have a better cleansing power. It does, however, left a moisturising veil after cleansing, which makes my skin feels nourished, supple and soft.
I am prone to redness, on the sides of my nose and on my chin. The cleanser didn't really eliminate the redness on its own, but accompanied with the face cream, it does help to minimize the redness on a subtle basis.
In conclusion, I would not purchase the full retail size of the Cream Cleanser as it is too gentle and mild, however, it may be a great addition or relief to those who has very sensitive skin.
