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?
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.
