I devote this review to the Gentle Foaming Cleanser with Tamarind.
Product details:
Every day’s a spa day with this pore-refining cleanser for oily skin types. Gentle Tamarind Fruit Acids remove impurities, trapped makeup, excess oil, pollutants and dull surface cells for a clear complexion. Silky lather rinses easily with cool water. Protects skin from the drying effects of hard water.
How to use:
Lather a tiny amount in your hands and apply it in massaging and circular movements to your skin and neck, the eye area excluded. Rinse off with water thoroughly.
Amount: 195 ml, which is quite a lot for a cleanser, particularly when compared with, for instance, Erborian Cleanser that costs a fortune and comes in a bottle with 50 ml.
The
packaging is classy for Clarins. Everything looks nice. The tube is made of soft plastic and has red lettering. It comes with a flip top. The bottle is really nice to hold in my hands.
It has to be noted that the cap was sealed. It’s so nice to know that nobody has ever opened your product
There are no issues with squeezing, so thank you Clarins for the quality made package.
Price: $26
On the website this cleanser is also available in 200 ml. So when I’ll use up my bottle, I’ll purchase the bigger option surely.
Texture: It looks like a cream with blue pearls These pearls scrub my skin gently and then dissolve.
Usage: It goes a really long way! I was automatically squeezing too much at a time at first, but now I use just a pea-size amount.
After lathering these peas in my hands, I get a soft and nice foam.
I think it will last for about 6 months for me, taking into account that I cleanse my face mornings and evenings.
Smell: This is a personal preference thing. The smell is somewhat masculine, but I like such smells, so it’s not a deal breaker for me.
This cleanser is meant for oily to combination skin type, so it’s a pass for girls with dry skin!
Now let’s talk about the performance.
It works like magic! I suffer from combination prone to oily skin. It shines very badly towards evening, which makes me sick. This cleanser is a real life-saver for me.
It’s good for those who love squeaky clean skin!
I use it twice a day: in the morning and before going to bed. In the morning it feels so baby-like clean after use
I don’t have any oily sheen during the day at all.
In the evening I take off my makeup with micellar water and then use this cleanser. That’s it. As a result, my skin feels amazingly well. This product doesn’t dry out my skin at all!
The manufacturer recommends washing it off with cold water and in the evening with warm water. As for this bit, I couldn’t see any difference there.
So, my results: my skin is really clean, matte and I would even say lighter.
The only thing I think about is: How could I live without it earlier? It’s the best cleanser out there for me. Trust me, because I’ve tried lots of different drugstore, high-end and Korean cleansers so far.
It totally lives up to its price.
I recommend this to those with oily to combination skin types.
