  • Under £3.00 Face Facts Ceramide Foaming Cleanser

    Cleansers aren’t the most exciting products in a skincare routine, but they do an important job. There’s nothing nicer than getting rid of all the dirt, grime, sun cream and make-up from the day and leaving clean skin. Or refreshing the skin in the morning. I don’t change up my cleansing routine with new cleansers regularly. I tend to stick with whatever works at that moment. But I’ve recently changed my daily cleanser from AldI’s Lacura Moisturising Face Wash to Face Facts Ceramide Foaming Cleanser. So what is it like?

    Face Facts Ceramide Foaming Cleanser
    Firstly, why did I buy this?

    I ran out of the Lacura face wash and saw this one sat on a shelf in Home Bargains. I actually was open to changing my cleanser to one that was less basic in formulation and had some extra ingredients in it, that could help my skin a bit more. I thought this could be perfect. And on top of that fragrance free (which I like), and budget friendly at only £2.99.

    Ingredients

    This cleanser contains ceramides (protects skin and helps to lock in moisture), niacinamide (helps boost hydration, anti-inflammatory so calming on the skin) and hyaluronic acid (helps keep in moisture). No fragrance included, and this formulation is designed for dry and sensitive skin.

    Packaging

    400m of product comes in a white pump action dispenser. Simple in design and has a slight resemblance of some CeraVe products. The packaging isn’t fancy but it’s practical, which will appeal to any age or sex and will sit nicely in any bathroom.

    Fragrance

    It’s fragrance free so no scent! Although, it does have a scent as such which some products have when they are fragrance free. It’s a hard one to explain but it smells of something but nothing at the same time!

    On the skin

    On damp skin I use two pumps of this cleanser and rub it into my face. It doesn’t foams up very well. It foams slightly but not much. But after rinsing off my skin does feel fresh, clean and smooth. If I use this in the evening I will repeat this twice and double cleanse.

    When I first used this for a few days I found my skin felt a little tight, almost dry, although it wasn’t. But this has now disappeared after using this for over a week and my skin seems much more comfortable.

    Do I like this?

    At first I didn’t think this was moisturising enough, and it wasn’t. But now no issues. If I could improve this I would like more foaming. It is called a foaming cleanser! Having more foam and creaminess to this when applied to damp skin would make me enjoy using this more. But my skin seems and looks clean, and I actually think my skin looks a touch better for using this.

    Recommended?

    If you’re looking for a cleanser which is quick, easy to use, fragrance free but you need a little more compared to a basic formulation, this could be that product. Great for someone who wants a simple skincare routine, a good one for guys and overall someone who doesn’t want to fuss about with products. And perfect if you don’t want to spend a lot as well. Only £2.99 for 400ml from Home Bargains.

  • New in Tesco! Face Facts Ceramide Blemish Skincare Range

    If you suffer from specific skin concerns and are trying out different products to see what works, it can be expensive and time consuming. Having budget friendly brands really helps when needing to change skincare routines and also to maintain them and repurchase if they do work. I mentioned in a previous post that an affordable brand called Face Facts is now in Tesco. They have different products available for different skin issues, including their Blemish range. So what is there to purchase for oily skin and how much does the products cost?

    Face Facts Ceramide Skin Barrier Complex Blemish Range
    Why is this range of products good for blemish prone skin?

    This selection of products contains ingredients which help to unclog pores, remove excess oil from the skin and also provides a form of exfoliation (salicylic acid, niacinamide). Fragrance free, so great for sensitive skin, and products are also vegan friendly.

    Blemish Clarifying Foaming Cleanser

    Deeply cleanses the skin of grime, dirt and impurities, without being too harsh and drying the skin out. £5.00 for 400ml.

    Blemish Clarifying Foaming Cleanser
    Blemish Gel Moisturiser

    A light weight moisturiser that is designed to not only moisturise, but strengthen the skin barrier and provide a more matt looking finish to a normally oily skin. £2.00 for 50ml.

    Blemish Gel Moisturiser
    Blemish Treatment Gel

    A spot treatment that can be used directly onto blemishes that helps calm and treat these areas. This spot treatment should help minimise the look and feel of these blemishes. £2.00 for 15ml.

    Blemish Treatment Gel
    So who would these products be good for?

    The first set of people that come to mind is teenagers. Typically with hormone changes their skin can be oily, congested and spotty. But anyone can suffer from these problems at various stages in life for lots of different reasons. So if skin appears blemished and shiny, this could be for them.

    If you were to purchase all three of these products it would only cost £9.00! Great value and currently available at Tesco in store (store specific) and online.

  • New in Tesco! Face Facts Ceramide Skin Barrier Skincare Range!

    Who doesn’t love an affordable skincare brand, especially if it contains good quality products within it? Skincare, as I always say, can be as cheap or as expensive as you want because you can get great products from either price points. This is why I really like the brand Face Facts. Good selection of products for different skin types and concerns, products (I’ve tried one) that actually work, all at affordable prices. Finding their Ceramide range in my local Tesco was an unexpected treat as it seemed to stock a full skincare routine. What did I find?

    Face Facts Ceramide Skin Barrier Complex products
    Firstly, what’s this range about?

    The ceramide products are designed to help maintain, strengthen and protect the skin barrier. Ideal for dry and sensitive skin, so effective but gentle formulas. Containing ceramides and hyaluronic acid (protects and keeps moisture in the skin), glycerin (moisturising) and oats (soothing). Plus this range is vegan friendly and fragrance free.

    Ceramide Hydrating Cleanser

    Cleanses while hydrating the skin without stripping it but leaving a clean feeling. Apply to damp skin, massage and then rinse off with water. 400ml for £5.00.

    Face Facts Hydrating Gentle Cleanser
    Ceramide Repairing Serum

    A light weight serum to use on top of freshly cleansed skin. Honestly? I’m not too sure what this serum really is designed for but can only assume it’s another moisture giver and skin protecting product. 30ml for £2.00.

    Face Facts Repairing Serum Cream
    Ceramide Replenishing Eye Cream

    Using a pea sized amount on clean under eyes, this eye cream should be hydrating but not heavy, great for tired and sensitive under eyes. 15ml for £2.00.

    Face Facts Replenishing Eye Cream
    Ceramide Moisturising Gel Cream

    Moisturising, light weight and soothing gel cream which will compliment other products from the range. Another product created to help keep the moisture in the skin and protect it at the same time. 50ml for £2.00.

    Face Facts Moisturisng Gel Cream
    Thoughts?

    As someone who loves the idea of skincare products that are gentle on the skin, fragrance free and containing nourishing and soothing ingredients, I can’t help but like this brand. Do they look slightly familiar packaging wise to a well known skincare brand? Yes they do! (dupe alert!). But it doesn’t change the fact this range has good products in it at exceptionally great prices. Cleanser, serum, eye cream and moisturiser, all full sizes for a total of £11.00?? SOLD!

  • Budget Friendly Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream

    Let’s talk eye creams. Like any skincare product on the market, there’s loads of them! I struggle to choose one and be confident that the one I’ve purchased is right for me. And isn’t an eye cream just a more expensive and smaller version of a face cream anyway? So many products, questions and confusion for such a small pot or tube no wonder I struggle. Anyway, a few months ago I purchased Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream from Home Bargains, for the ridiculously cheap price of 49p for 25ml.

    Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream
    Why did I buy this?

    I needed a new eye cream. I hadn’t used one for awhile as I’ve been taking my face cream up to my eyes and I decided no, I’m not doing that again! I’ve used Face Fact’s Ceramide Facial Wash and really liked it, so I was happy to buy something else from the brand. When you get older anything hydrating is a must (which this claims to be), the size of this is generous (normally eye products are 15ml not 25ml) and the price was a steal, so it needed to be bought!

    What is this supposed to do?

    Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream is aimed at making the under eye area look less tired, puffy, be more moisturised and overall give a more ‘alive’ look.

    Packaging

    25ml of eye cream comes in a small, blue and white tube. This comes boxed. It’s not flash in look but easy enough on the eye and quite neutral in appearance, so one that would appeal to both the guys and the girls.

    Texture & Fragrance

    Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream is white in colour and quite rich in it’s consistency. When I squeezed this out of the tube it held it’s shape. Similar in texture to a rich night cream as this isn’t runny or loose. This is a fragranced. It’s not strong but smells floral and fresh. I don’t mind it, it’s nice enough, but I would prefer this to be fragrance free,

    Under the eye

    All eye cream products suggest to use a small amount and this is no exception. I didn’t need to use too much because it’s a rich texture but it dabbed beautifully into the skin. It felt very comforting immediately, moisturising and protecting. It didn’t leave any residue behind. My under eyes felt moisturised but matt in look and feel. Did they look any fresher? I’ve been using this for under 2 weeks morning and night. I don’t particularly suffer from dark circles and my eyes haven’t really been puffy. But they have been well moisturised without feeling weighed down.

    Recommended?

    We all have to be realistic with our expectations for skincare. I don’t pick up products anymore thinking it will give me a real life filter on my face. But Face Facts Hydrating Eye Cream firstly is bigger than a lot of eye creams on the market. Beautifully rich in texture that sinks in quickly but still leaves the under eyes moisturised. Perfect for those whose under eyes are dry, or dare I say are a little on the older side. This cost 49p which isn’t an everyday price and not a regular stock item in Home Bargains. But direct from Face Facts still is budget pleasing £1.49! Why would I NOT recommend this?
