How much money should we spend on keeping our skin clean? I love a good quality cleanser. But buying an expensive one might be ok as a one off purchase, but what happens when you need to repeat purchase it 2/3 months later? This is the main reason I try not to spend too much on indvidual skincare products in general, especially the ones used daily. So I decided to purchase Face Facts Ceramide Cleanser from Home Bargains when I needed a new cleansing product. It cost £2.49 for 200ml.
Why did I buy this?
My current cleanser was running low and I needed a new one and I didn’t want to buy the same one again. This caught my eye because it was a good size, fragrance free and contained a good set of ingredients (including oats, which I love!). Plus this was incredibly affordable which is a must right now!
What is this supposed to do?
Suitable for dry and sensitive skin, this facial cleanser is designed to clean skin by removing dirt and make-up. Face Facts Ceramide Hydrate Gentle Cleanser is supposed to hydrate the skin and help to strengthen the protective skin barrier.
Packaging
This cleanser is housed in a very simple and plain white, plastic bottle with a pump action dispenser. It’s very basic but practical, and won’t just appeal to the ladies but the men too. There is a certain skincare brand out there that has their cleansers in the same shaped bottles and has a similar style to them as this, so is this a possible dupe? One word…CeraVe!
Fragrance
There isn’t one! It’s fragrance free which makes this ideal for people who have sensitive skin or simply don’t like their skincare fragranced.
The cleanser itself
The consistency of this is like most facial washes. It’s clear (not coloured), liquid but not loose and not too thin.
In use
On the packaging its says use 2-3 pumps. But honestly I only needed one. Applied onto my damp face, this cleanser foamed up in a light, creamy way. The texture was pleasant on my skin and rinsed off like a dream. This removed eyebrow pencil and sun cream (evening bathing routine) and left my skin feeling and looking fresh and dirt free.
Skin afterwards
For the first few days of using this cleanser, my skin felt (but didn’t look it) a little tight. I got a squeaky clean feel which I sometimes get when using a facial wash instead of something more cream based. But this sensation disappeared the more I used this as if my skin was getting used to it.
I’ve used this morning and evening for about 2/3 weeks. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do. My skin looks and feels clean and it removes everything that needs to come off it. No irritation and gentle around my eyes.
Recommended?
This isn’t a skincare product I’m in love with. There’s nothing exciting about it, it doesn’t have an amazing scent to it and doesn’t feel incredibly luxurious and pampering. What it is is practical. It does what it’s supposed to do and does it effectively. Easy and quick to use, which is perfect when you are time starved. And it’s affordable! For many people at the moment, things like this NEED to be affordable, which this is. I would be happy to repeat purchase this once this current bottle runs out.
This can be bought direct from various places in different sizes such as Face Facts, Home Bargains and Amazon.
