skin inc amino prodew 400 cleansing foam
i am generally not so adventurous when it comes to cleansers. those harsh foaming kinds are not for me, i get tiny little whitehead-like spots that clear up the moment i stop using it. in fact, for years, I have been using super mild cleansers (started with the niks milk cleanser & for a vvv long while, cetaphil). tt got abit getting used to at the beginning since all i used were foaming cleansers that strip the skin but my skin seems to like it. i always felt like the cleanser was not being washed off properly when I started using.
last year, the skin inc SA reccomended that i try their amino cleanser coz she noticed tiny spots/bumps around my chin. i thought it was due to my sensitive skin reacting, she said it might be my cleanser not doing a good enough job (was using cetaphil and double cleansing at night) so I switched to the skin inc cleanser & it seems to work really well. my skin loves it & i no longer get such bumps around my chin. in fact, whenever i try to switch cleansers, my skin acts up but goes back to normal when i go back to this cleanser.
the cleanser is a clear liquid that foams up when pumped out of the bottle. you get a gentle foam that cleanses well YET does not strip the skin. one pump is sufficient & no tight feeling after washing. smell is pleasant (if non-existent?). but the packaging can be improved. i never bring this when I travel coz the pump is not secure & the liquid has a tendency to leak out bit by bit. i always have to ensure it is standing in the shower.
so far, have gone through about 2 full sized bottles. as it is not cheap ($50+ per bottle? But it lasts quite long), i am trying to find a substitute. if i can't, seems like i have to go back to it. picked this up with a birthday voucher so i didn't feel the pain but i generally do not believe in splurging on cleansers...
i am interested in trying out the aqualabel mousse cleanser and hada labo's AHA+BHA foaming cleanser, though i am afraid the latter might be too harsh
skin inc used to have 2 cleansers but i only see one on their website now?
