    Biossance Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser Review: Worth The Splurge?

    Squalane is a fab moisturiser. But in a cleanser? Don’t expect miracles. Biossance Squalane + Amino Aloe Gentle Cleanser promises to wash away dirt, excess oil, and makeup without stripping your skin dry. The science makes sense. Gentle surfactants do the cleaning, while squalane helps moisturise skin. But here’s the catch: most of it goes […]

    Mary Kay 4-in-1 Cleanser Combination/Oily Review: Does It Really Do 4 Jobs?

    If you’ve been looking for Mary Kay 4-in-1 Cleanser reviews, you’ve probably already noticed the big promise: one cleanser that supposedly cleans, exfoliates, freshens and brightens your skin in one go. Very efficient. Very “why own four products when one can do everything?” Except skincare doesn’t really work like that. I tried the Mary Kay TimeWise […]

    Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel Review: Is It Worth The Money?

    If you love a foaming cleanser but hate that “why does my face suddenly feel one size too small?” feeling afterwards, Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel sounds pretty much perfect. This soap-free gel cleanser promises to wash away excess oil, sunscreen and daily grime without stripping your skin. And on my combination skin? That’s pretty much […]

    I love a cleanser that does a little more than just wash my face, and ACURE Resurfacing Glycolic & Unicorn Root Cleanser promises that. You’ve got 1% glycolic acid for exfoliation, a bunch of plant extracts and, of course, something called unicorn root (because apparently glycolic acid wasn’t exciting enough on its own). But the […]

    Mad Hippie Jelly Cleanser Review: Should You Buy It?

    I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with jelly cleansers. Get the formula right and they’re lovely: light, gentle and much nicer to use than a cleanser that leaves your face feeling like it’s been scrubbed with washing-up liquid. Get it wrong and you end up massaging slippery gel around your face wondering whether […]

  • Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask

    Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Cleanser Review: Does It Really “Purify” Skin?

    Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean Multi-Action Foam Cleanser/Purifying Mask promises to do double duty: cleanse your skin every day and give it a deeper clean when you leave it on as a mask. Sounds convenient, especially if you have oily or combination skin and like that squeaky-clean feeling. But a cleanser doesn’t need to “purify” your […]
