Comparison table of characteristics

Comparing the products presented in the rating will help you make the right choice when looking for the right product in the store.

Rating of washing gels

Cleansing gels are especially popular among women, so cosmetics manufacturers are actively creating many different products that are easy for even cosmetologists to get confused in, not to mention the average consumer. When forming the rating of the best gels, many features of each product were taken into account, namely:

• Compound;
• Efficiency;
• The presence of side effects;
• Volume;
• Consumption;
• Price.

In addition to the specific characteristics of each product, the opinions of consumers, experts, as well as the results of comparative tests were also taken into account. They helped select 12 cosmetics products that deeply cleanse, moisturize well, and protect against the appearance of rashes, wrinkles and other negative manifestations.

The best facial peels

The best face washes for all skin types

Products with a gel-like consistency should foam easily on wet palms or on a special face mesh. The composition must contain caring components, including plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, fruit acids, oils and others. The product should moisturize well, not leave excess oily shine, and not cause allergies. Before compiling the rating, mass product quality checks were carried out, which included comparative analyses, studying the composition and other nuances. Among the 5 nominees, only 2 varieties were selected. They have a natural composition, moisturize and rejuvenate.

Pure Line Ideal Skin

Cleaning gel Clean Line helps you achieve perfection, be beautiful and attractive. It prevents skin flaking and moisturizes the upper layers of the epidermis. The composition contains chamomile, mint, vitamins, minerals and many plant components that reduce inflammation and nourish. The product fully removes makeup residue, cleanses, and prepares the skin for bed. With regular use of the wash, the rash becomes less noticeable, and other blemishes caused by the negative effects of the sun, wind or frost disappear.

Advantages

• Good hydration;
• Does not cause allergies;
• Affordable price;
• Neutral aroma.

Flaws

• Does not fight pimples and acne.

In their reviews, many girls indicate that the product really removes traces of cosmetics, moisturizes and nourishes well. But, its composition does not contain enough useful components and active substances to prevent rashes and acne.

Nivea cream-gel Gentle

The cream gel wash is suitable for different types of facial skin; it moisturizes well, fights impurities, and gives the face a new shine. After using the product, there is no dryness or tightness, and there is no need to use additional moisturizers. The soft consistency is represented by small hard grains that produce a peeling effect. The consistency itself does not foam, has a pleasant aroma, does not cause irritation, and does not deform the skin. There is no soap in the composition, it is represented mainly by almond extract, calendula oil and vitamins, which additionally saturate it with the necessary components.

Advantages

• Pleasant aroma;
• Good consistency for peeling;
• Doesn't clog pores;
• Well moisturizes;
• Does not sting if it gets in the eyes.

Flaws

• Prevents rashes and acne, but does not fight them.

Based on the reviews, we can conclude that the deep cleansing gel for washing removes makeup, does not dry out, and does not leave an oily sheen. Thanks to the peeling effect, the appearance of acne and other irritations is minimized, maintaining a beautiful, bright, clean appearance to the face.

Transepidermal water loss (TEWL)

The outermost layer of our skin, the epidermis, should normally retain moisture inside the skin, that is, serve as a barrier to excessive evaporation of moisture to the outside. This layer consists of epidermal cells, glued together like cement with lipids.

But rough cleansers dissolve not only cosmetics, fat and dirt accumulated on the surface of the skin, but also skin lipids, thereby disrupting the lipid barrier.

The normal water balance of the skin is disrupted, the epidermis becomes unable to retain moisture inside and it intensively evaporates out. This is called transepidermal water loss (TEWL).

And as a result of moisture loss, problems familiar to many arise such as:

• dryness
• skin tightness
• peeling
• loss of elasticity
• flabbiness
• fine wrinkles

In addition, various bacteria can easily penetrate the skin through a broken lipid barrier, and washes themselves with aggressive cleansing substances often cause allergic reactions and skin irritation.

The tricky thing is that these symptoms usually do not appear immediately, but after some time after starting to use rough cleansers. And the lady, as a rule, blames it all on an unsuitable moisturizer, so she buys more and more expensive jars, instead of choosing a wash that will carefully cleanse her skin.

How to choose a good washbasin? After all, cosmetic products contain dozens of substances that are completely unfamiliar to you - is it really necessary to study and remember all this? Don't worry - everything is much simpler than it might seem at first glance. In this article I will give simple but clear instructions, with the help of which you can independently choose a good washbasin in any price segment.

The best face washes for problem skin

In case of severe rashes, age spots or acne, the wash should consist of plant components, minerals, emollient oils that do not cause irritation or injure the epidermis. The product should not clog pores, its main task is to wash away dead cells, eliminate inflammatory processes, and clean well. When compiling the rating, thorough checks of the products were carried out, attention was paid to their composition, effectiveness and consistency. Among the 6 nominees, only 2 items were selected that soften the skin, do not cause irritation, and are anti-allergenic.

Immuno propeller with anti-acne complex

Propeller Cleansing Gel has an anti-acne complex, cleanses, removes accumulated sebaceous glands, dead cells, and traces of makeup. It softens the dermis, gives the face softness, smoothness, and improves cell respiration. When used, it soothes inflamed skin and minimizes the occurrence of acne and pimples. Acne cleansing gel should be used 2 times a day, the first changes will become noticeable after 2-3 weeks of use.

Advantages

• Complete cleansing;
• Removes cosmetics;
• The effect is observed after a few weeks;
• Lights well.

Flaws

• Not detected.

Reviews say that this is a good washing gel, suitable for problem skin, cleanses the face, and gets rid of rashes and acne. It will be effective in the presence of rashes, severe pimples, acne, peeling and other manifestations.

Vichy Normaderm Corrective care against imperfections

Salicylic acid and LHA in the composition improve the complexion and condition of the face, fight enlarged pores, and moisturize for up to 24 hours. The delicate and light consistency is easily applied to the face, eliminates oily shine, and prevents its appearance throughout the day. The product is suitable for sensitive dermis, does not dry out, does not cause allergies, and visually tightens pores. You can use it whenever necessary; it is harmless, hypoallergenic, and non-addictive. Cosmetologists recommend using the gel during pregnancy, adolescence or any other hormonal changes.

Advantages

• Tightens pores;
• Removes oily shine;
• Removes remnants of cosmetics;
• Does not cause irritation;
• Fights pimples and acne, minimizes their number.

Flaws

• Not detected.

Face wash is suitable for many girls and women even during pregnancy. It consists of safe components, does not dry out, and provides good hydration for 6-8 hours.

Harmful components of facial cleansers

Anionic surfactants (aggressive substances)

When choosing a wash, first of all, you need to check the composition for the presence of aggressive surfactants - surfactants for short:

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
• Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
• Sodium Myreth Sulfate (SMS)

These are cheap and rather aggressive surfactants, which are nevertheless very often present in washbasins of well-known cosmetic brands. This is due to the fact that manufacturers save on using soft, but more expensive cleaning ingredients, and only add components that slightly soften the effect of aggressive surfactants.

And we need to mention one more undesirable component in the composition of the wash:

Mineral Oil

It is often included in cosmetic milks or emulsions for cleansing. It perfectly softens the skin, does not leave a feeling of dryness and tightness after washing, and women are usually satisfied with this cleanser.

But mineral oil (a petroleum product) contributes to clogging of pores, which can lead to the appearance of comedones and acne, especially for those with problem skin. Therefore, the presence of this component is also undesirable.

Thus, having found the above-mentioned sulfates or mineral oil in the composition of the wash, you can no longer waste time, but put this product in its place and look for another one - with softer cleansing components.

The best face washes for dry and sensitive skin

A gel for dry skin should consist of plant components, without sodium sulfate, which dries out the dermis, forms dry spots and peeling. Mineral oils are also undesirable, as they clog pores and cause the formation of rashes and pimples on the dry dermis. Useful components: coc-glucoside, vitamins, chamomile, calendula and others. Before compiling the rating of cosmetics, thorough checks of the nominees were carried out, which allowed us to select only 2 among 5 products. Their natural composition does not have a negative effect on the epidermis and moisturizes well.

La Roche-Posay Rosaliac

The cleanser is designed for skin that is experiencing various changes in the form of rashes, blackheads, and acne. The serum contains thermal water, which instantly produces an antioxidant effect, soothes and protects. Ambophenol extract narrows blood vessels, strengthens their walls, removes redness, and helps get rid of other imperfections on the dermis. It contains no alcohol, dyes, parabens or preservatives; it perfectly moisturizes, minimizes dryness, and relieves inflammation.

Advantages

• Hypoallergenic property;
• Good hydration;
• Ideal composition;
• Convenient bottle;
• Quickly absorbed.

Flaws

• The smell is not pleasant for everyone.

Having studied all the reviews and consumer opinions, we can conclude that the cosmetics are suitable for many girls, eliminate excessive dryness, minimize the occurrence of peeling, and cleanse the dermis well. The serum contains hyaluronic acid, which also promotes rejuvenation.

A cleansing gel for problem skin that quickly removes impurities from the dermis, removes makeup residues, and eliminates excess sebum. The hygiene product consists of three types of clay, as well as an extract of red algae.

Advice from a dermatologist-cosmetologist on using foam

Advice from a dermatologist video
Experts say that more than half of women use foam incorrectly. Although the general algorithm of actions is simple:

• moisturize the skin;
• apply the product;
• massage the skin in a circular motion, distributing the wash evenly;
• wash off the composition;
• consistently apply toner and fluid/serum/cream.

Important! Foam and gel products work the same way. But to get the desired effect, they must be applied correctly. Foam and mousse are simply sprayed from the bottle onto damp skin. But the gel is first applied to the hand - it needs to be foamed and only then distributed over the face.

To keep your skin looking young and healthy for as long as possible, dermatologists recommend following a number of rules:

1. Use foam morning and evening . Many women forget about washing their face in the morning, limiting themselves to plain water. But in fact, the body removes a lot of toxins through the skin overnight, and only specialized products will help cleanse it.
2. Immediately wash off the product from the skin . It is strictly forbidden to keep the wash on your face for more than 30 seconds - this is quite enough to dissolve impurities.
3. Avoid sponges . They are an excellent breeding ground for dangerous microorganisms and cause harm to the skin.
4. Don't ignore tonic . Any foam draws moisture from the epidermis, thereby disturbing the pH balance. Toning products return it to normal levels and prepare the skin for the application of cream or other cosmetic products.

Foaming cleanser is a traditional product that every woman needs. Its wise choice will help make facial care effective and preserve the beauty of the skin.

My almost complete collection of cleansers

Greetings!

Today I want to talk about my collection of cleansers.

This post does not contain all the funds that I currently have. Here I want to show rather the types of cleansers. I decided not to talk about duplicate products.

It is clear that I still do not have all types of funds collected here. But in modern conditions, I definitely won’t go to the store again.

How did I put together such a collection?

I came up with an idea for a post or a series of posts in which I will tell all the features of cleansers. And what's the result? I bought the products a long time ago, but I’m only writing this post now.

By the way, if you want a detailed post about any of the products, write in the comments. I will surely write. And even within May)

There are just a lot of funds, and if you look at each in detail, it will take a couple of weeks to write a post. And it takes at least a couple of hours to read it)

So, let's finally move on to the means.

I decided to split the post into 2 parts:

1. These are ready-made products

2. Those that require water or something else.

I include gels, foams, mousses, beldi, oils, etc. as ready-made products.

The second category includes: ubtan, soap, mineral powders for washing, etc.

Let's start with the foam. From the most ready-to-use product)

Cleansing foam

How to use

: squeeze out a small amount of ready-made foam and apply to the skin.

Suitable for all skin types.

But, especially for skin prone to dryness, because... She cleans very carefully.

I have foam from the Bielita brand - “Magic of Morocco” transforming foam for washing

I love her very much. It cleanses the skin very gently, and after washing there is no feeling of discomfort at all.)

It contains betaine and allantoin and this is good news. And I really feel the soothing effect of the foam.

The foam also has a very pleasant aroma, but it is quite persistent. So if this is a problem for you, then it is better to pay attention to the next product, which I will talk about later.

The downside is high consumption. But, in general, all foams and mousses are guilty of this. For one wash I need 2-3 pumps.

I have already bought this foam 2 times and will definitely buy more)

How is it washed out?

It washes out very well. Although, in fact, this is already a watered-down finished product)

Shower gel

.

This is probably the most common product and the one I buy most often.

How to use?

Squeeze out a small amount of gel, spread over palms and apply to skin.

Suitable for all skin types

. But, you need to look at each specific gel. After all, there are gels for problematic skin, for dry or very sensitive skin.

I have a gel for sensitive and allergy-prone skin.

Cleansing gel – LV Puhdistusgeeli (cleansing gel for face)

There was already a post about this gel

This is a super gentle product for allergy sufferers. Fragrance-free gel with gentle cleansing. I often use it when I have allergies or sensitive skin.

I am very pleased with him and we have been together for 5 years.

How is it washed out?

Very light, but does not produce active foam. Rather, the gel itself is slightly dissolved in water and this soapy liquid is already working on the skin.

Washing gel with scrubbing particles

Essentially this is a 2 in1 product. Light wash gel + scrub.

How to use?

Squeeze out a small amount of gel, spread over palms and apply to skin with massaging movements. Massage the skin a little and rinse.

Suitable for all skin types

. But, there are a lot of restrictions. Scrubs cannot be used if there is inflammation, rosacea, skin diseases, abrasions, etc. on the face.

Himalaya - Fresh start. Energizing Blueberry. Shower gel

I love cleansers from this brand, but this particular gel somehow passed me by. It cleans well. It's not very harsh and doesn't even cause a reaction on my skin, but I really don't like scrubbing cleansers.

This is exactly my own twist.

By the way, my husband fell in love with this product precisely for its scrubbing particles)

The gel has a very pleasant scent and of course I use it sometimes, but it’s just not my type of product.

How is it washed out?

The gel behaves in the same way as the LV gel. That is, the gel dissolves slightly with water and this soapy liquid already works on the skin without foam.

Gel with acids or enzymes. A gentle exfoliating cleanser.

How to use?

Squeeze out a small amount of gel, spread over palms and apply to skin. Use according to instructions and usually no more than 2 times a week.

Suitable for all skin types.

But there are also a lot of nuances. Such products should not be used for skin diseases or allergies. Also, it is not recommended to use during periods of increased solar activity.

How does this gel work?

Due to acids or enzymes, there is a gentle exfoliation of dead skin particles and lightening of blackheads.

She is Other – Soft cleansing gel for face exfoliant

I really liked this gel and I won’t talk about it in detail now, because I’ll be writing a post about it any day now. I'll just say that it has a very mild exfoliating effect, but there is something to criticize it for.

How is it washed out?

Like all gels. It dissolves a little with water and this mixture works on the skin.

Liquid soap for washing

How is it different from gel? Honestly, I tried to figure this issue out, but I couldn’t. The store consultant explained to me that liquid soap is thicker than gel wash and has less consumption. Maybe. BUT, why then do they produce thick washing gels and not call them liquid soap? Or, on the contrary, liquid soap is produced completely liquid and is not called gel?

In general, I am incompetent in this matter. Please, if you can clarify this point for me, I will be very glad!

How to use?

Squeeze out a small amount of soap, distribute between palms and apply to skin.

Suitable for all skin types . But, you need to look at each specific soap.

Clinique — Liquid facial soap oily skin formula

In my opinion, this is a regular cleansing gel. Cleanses quite gently and does not cause severe dryness. Although, of course, after washing my face I have a desire to quickly moisturize my skin.

How is it washed out?

Same as the gel. It dissolves slightly in water and this mixture works on the skin without creating foam.

Korean foam for washing.

How to use?

Squeeze out a small amount of foam, distribute into your palms and beat the product until foam forms and apply to the skin.

Suitable for oily skin. But this is exactly my experience.

Dewytree - Phytotherapy. Aloe Cleansing Foam

A few years ago, I was crazy about Korean foams and how they cleansed my skin until it squeaked. Fortunately, I came to my senses and stopped tormenting my sensitive skin so much.

I can't use Korean foams now. They are too hard for me. They cleanse too much and there is very strong discomfort afterwards.

But, I love cleaning brushes with them. Yes, I specifically buy Korean foams for cleaning brushes. And this cute raccoon copes with this task with an A+!

The product is very economical and at the same time cleans beautifully!

How is it washed out?

Wonderful! The product easily whips into a light (very light) foam and spreads very easily over the skin.

Beldi

A very controversial type of product.

On the one hand there is deep cleaning, on the other there is severe discomfort.

I tried beldi from three brands, and they all showed approximately the same results.

What kind of animal is this?

It's just a type of black paste soap. It is dense, difficult to spread over the skin and does not wash out very easily. This soap cleanses the skin very deeply and is not recommended for use more than 2 times a week. I generally use it a couple of times a month. It is created on the basis of natural oils, berries and extracts. This is a very economical product. Very.

How to use?

It is best to stir it before use with a clean stick/spatula and collect what has settled on it. And spread this small amount a little in your palms and apply to the skin.

The product is more suitable for oily skin.

And this is also exactly my experience.

VkusVill – Beldi berry soap

A completely standard beldi with a good natural composition (which can be seen right on the main product label). And the product also has a magical aroma! He is awesome! Personally, it smells of citrus and spice to me. Or rather even spiced orange)

This beldi cleanses perfectly and pleases me with its aroma.

How does it blur?

So-so. Beldi dissolves in water, and this mass works on the skin. By the way, any beldi behaves this way.

Clay for washing

I admit, this is a new product for me. Although, such products have been available on the market for a long time.

The essence of clay is that it perfectly cleanses the skin and saturates it with minerals.

How to use?

Rub a small amount of product between palms and apply to skin.

Suitable for all skin types

. It all depends on what type of clay is in the composition. But, I would still recommend such products with caution for skin prone to dryness.

The clay for washing in this post is represented by soap from Natura Siberica

Detox Organics Kamchatka - Volcanic magic soap. Volcanic facial soap

This is a very thick mass that really looks like clay.

The product is positioned for gentle but deep cleansing. In general, I agree with this statement. It does clean quite gently, although I still only use it a couple of times a week.

How does it blur?

Weak. The product dissolves and this mass works on the skin without creating foam.

The soap is washed off the skin quite easily. Does not cause discomfort.

The only negative is that you need to constantly reach into the jar with your finger or spatula. in general this is not a problem, but I just don’t like it that much) Beldi has the same problem.

Cleansing oil.

This is something between hydrophilic oil and washing gel.

If hydrophilic oil must be washed off with soap, then this oil does not require this. The oil very carefully cleanses delicate skin without drying it out. Just a godsend for sensitive and atopic skin.

I tried this product in 2 brands, and they seemed very similar to me.

How to use?

Apply a small amount to your palms and spread over your face with massage movements. Then, add a small amount of water and also distribute the resulting liquid over your face. This oil can be applied to both dry and wet skin. In general, it is better to clarify this point on the label of the product you have.

I now have a well-worn oil from A-Derma.

Excellent and very soft product. I will happily buy myself a full size for next winter.

A-Derma – Exomega Emollient cleansing Oil face and body. Emollient Cleansing Oil

As I said above, excellent product. I used it to bathe my child and to wash my skin during the most difficult moments of my life.

After the oil there is always a feeling of comfort and softness.

How does it blur?

The same as hydrophilic oil. Upon contact with water, a very fine foam appears, which delicately cleanses the skin.

And finally, the second group of funds.

Essentially, these are products that are activated by water. When dry, they weigh less and are more economical to use.

I'll start with the most popular.

Bar soap for face.

Soap is the oldest product for cleansing the skin. I don't really like soap, because... According to my own feelings, it is not delicate enough, and rather it is even too cleansing. But what is his minimum consumption?

How to use?

Wet your hands and spread the product with damp hands. Apply the resulting foam to your face.

You can use a special bag for washing. This will make the foam softer.

For all skin types,

but look at the description of the specific product itself.

I have A'pieu soap - Volcanic pore soap

I can safely say that this soap has changed my attitude towards soap as a product. It is this product that cleanses the skin quite delicately and does not cause me personally any discomfort. I will definitely use it and enjoy it.

And it also has minimal consumption. You can wash your face with this soap for several months! It's very economical!

The kit also included a pouch that perfectly and very quickly creates airy foam.

How does it blur?

It lathers better than all other products, either on its own or using a bag.

Enzyme powder

How to use and how does it work?

Enzyme powder is a white powder that must be diluted with water and whisked until foam or milk forms.

Next, apply this product to the skin. Cleansing occurs due to enzymes that perfectly exfoliate dead skin cells, dissolve sebaceous plugs, and generally just clean perfectly!

Suitable for all skin types

I have enzyme powder from Bielita

Bielita White Detox Impeccable cleansing. Enzyme face wash powder

How I love this enzyme powder! It cleanses the skin very gently. I even use it when I have allergies! It doesn't make me feel uncomfortable or dry. It just gently cleanses the skin. Upon contact with water, it turns into the most delicate foam and lies just as gently on the skin...

She also has very low consumption. Very! This is truly the most economical cleansing option!

How does it blur?

Just great! Quickly and easily turns into foam.

Ubtan

And this is a very interesting and very ancient remedy that came to us from India.

Ubtan is: herbs, flowers, legumes and grains ground into flour.

I admit, I bought it out of pure interest. I’ve used similar products before, but I really wanted to try ubtan.

How to use?

A small amount of ubtan should be poured onto your hand and mixed with a small amount of water. Then apply the resulting paste to the skin of the face and wait a little, and then rub.

If you just want to cleanse your skin, apply the product and rinse. And if you want to make a mask, then simply leave the product on the skin for a longer period.

As a rule, the product is suitable for all skin types.

BUT, it is not recommended for skin with rosacea, skin with severe inflammation, with abrasions or wounds, with increased sensitivity or if you are allergic to one of the components of ubtan.

VkusVill - Ubtan for oily or problem skin. A natural daily cleanser and body wash.

This particular product cleanses quite delicately if you don’t rub the skin too hard)

It didn’t cause any discomfort for me after washing, but there are too many problems with it... Overall, the aroma of this ubtan takes me back to childhood and for this reason alone I will definitely use it. And also, it has very little consumption

How does it blur?

No way) The product turns into mush)

Mineral powder for washing.

I admit, just a week ago I was sure that this was the same as ubtan. More precisely, ubtan is the same thing))) They stood next to each other on the shelf and I didn’t see any difference in them at all. But it is there. And this difference is in the composition of the products. Although, the principle of operation is very similar to ubtan.

How does it work?

Pulls out impurities from pores and tones the skin.

How to use?

Pour a small amount of the product into a clean container and dilute with a small amount of water to the consistency of thick sour cream. Apply the resulting mixture to your face, hold for 10-15 seconds and rinse. Do not rub the skin.

The product can be used as a mask a couple of times a week. Those. just leave the product on the skin for a few minutes and then wash off.

Suitable for all skin types.

But, from my own experience, I can say that those with sensitive skin should use it with caution.

Sendo - Mineral face wash Deep cleansing. Mineral wash for deep cleansing of all skin types

What can I say about this product? It cleanses and lightens blackheads really well. And I am ready to perform all the manipulations, but not more than once a week)

After use there is slight discomfort and slight dryness, but it goes away immediately after applying toner or softener.

In general, the product has its place, but not for every day for sure)

There are also too many problems with it, just like with ubtan.

How does it blur?

And it doesn’t blur) It turns into a mass and is easily distributed over the skin.

Cleansing stick

This is truly one of the most interesting comrades in my collection.

How to use?

Everything is simple here. The concentrated product is applied to damp facial skin using circular movements. Then, wash it with your hands on your face and wash it off with water.

Suitable for all skin types

But, there is a small BUT. The stick I have is a 2 in 1 product. I admit, I bought it without looking, and only after a while I realized that it was a cleansing stick + scrub.

It cleanses the skin from both impurities and imperfections, because... performs the functions of a light scrub.

This is a super product for any trip if you need to keep your skin under control. Minimum space and weight and at the same time super results.

This is a really convenient product, but you should definitely avoid it if you have hypersensitive skin.

A'Pieu – Aqua Nature Blackhead Clearing Stick

After using the stick there is no feeling of tightness, but you still want to apply a care product to the skin) However, just like after any scrub.

How does it blur?

Fine. Hands glide easily over the skin on which the stick is applied.

Soap petals

.

I first learned about this format about 15 years ago, but I didn’t even think that such products would be made for the face.

These petals are dehydrated foam cleansers in the form of small masks.

How to use

?

The petal must be dissolved in a small amount of water, foamed and applied to the skin.

After dissolving, the petal turns into a thick gel that glides perfectly over the skin and cleanses it perfectly.

For all skin types

Luthione – Bossong Bossong cleansing pop. Dry facial foam (for combination skin)

Another super tool for a trip. But, no more than 5 days. After all, there are only 10 petals in the package.

After washing with it, the skin feels very comfortable. There is no feeling of dryness or any other discomfort.

The product is very interesting, but definitely not for every day.

How does it blur?

Wonderful! Very easily and quickly turns into a gentle foam and delicately cleanses.

In this post, I reviewed 15 types of different products for washing and cleansing the skin.

The post could be longer if I also had: mousse, jelly, soufflé and pudding for washing)

If you remember anything else, be sure to write in the comments. And one day I will be able to collect a whole collection
