Cleanser texture: The texture is creamy as the name suggests. Very similar to Cetaphil gentle cleanser, just a little more creamier. Consistency is runny just like Cetaphil.

Even though it is Soap-free and very similar to Cetaphil gentle cleanser, it still lathers up quite well.

Experience: The cleanser cleansed my face very well. Lathered up decently and the application on my face was very gentle. It felt as if I was applying a body lotion on my face. Skin felt soft and clean after wash and face was not stretchy or dry. I used this cleanser as second cleanser in my routine after removing off my sunscreen using micellar water. I did not face any breakouts or bumps on my face so far.

The cleanser is fragrance free. However it has that medicinal smell like other simple cleansers. Smell is a bit different and weird but not overpowering or irritating at all so can be ignored.

All in all, it is a really good gentle cleanser which does not strip my face off of essential oil but still cleanses pretty well. It seems like a suitable replacement for my daily cleanser which is the simple refreshing facial wash.

Although it has only been a couple of days since I started using it so take this review as an initial impression for now. Will update the post after using it for a longer duration or if I face any issues with the product.

Feel free to shoot your questions/queries and do let me know if I have missed out on anything since this is my first review here.

Put Simply Beat the Sun Sunscreen Review

Image
  My Experience- It blends very easily & just melts into the skin similar to Korean sunscreen & does not leave any white cast at all, so it will be suitable for all skin shade. It settles to somewhat matte finish & does not make face shiny at all. It does not sting my eyes & I’m really happy with that as every sunscreen does (my eyes are very sensitive). It does not pill at all. Reapplication is very easy with this one & skin does not fell heavy after the reapplication. I do not apply makeup so can’t comment on over the makeup reapplication. It takes some time to blend if you have applied many layers of skincare products. It’s really hydrating so I skip my moisturizer with this one. It alsi has Niacinamide & Ceramides so you don’t need a separate Niacinamide serum with this. It can be removed easily even with a gentle cleanser. Uv Exposure- Since there’s winter season & our region barely gets sunlight in this month so can’t comment on it. Verdict- I will...

Minimalist Retinoid 2% Review

Image
  Have been using this for almost 2 months now and here is my experience: I have sensitive, combination acne-prone skin, and I have a fair complexion so even slight irritation is very evident on my skin. I use this once a week, and I don't use any other active a day before and after it (sometimes I leave more days in the between). Hasn't irritated my skin and never got a 'purge' with it. Although, sometimes, I do get a breakout or two the next day, but nothing severe (dies out pretty quickly), and I expect that with a vit-A product. I also use glyco-6 and Minimalist SA once a week (on separate days). But I have been using these two ingredients for way longer, so I know that these recent changes in my skin are due to this Retinoid. My skin has become more even-toned, smoother, radiant and healthier with this. Even Glyco-6 couldn't get rid of my bumpy acne texture but this did. My skin looks like it has light layer of a BB cream on it, so I barely feel like wearing ma...
