Don’t try this at home
I don’t know about you, but I want a cleanser that does it all. When I am taking off my make up it’s usually late at night or cleaning my face first thing in the morning. I want this process to be as simple and painless as possible.
A cleanser to remove my eye make-up and clean my face in one step.
So in my search for the best cleanser out there I am finding a few stinkers along the way.
I wanted to find a reasonable and very accessible cleanser, because lets face it we wash our face with it then we flush it down the drain. So I don’t want to pay alot for something that really is there just to clean my face, it needs to be gentle and effective.
So I tried the Neutrogena Foaming Cleanser. It has a pump for easy access, can be stored in the shower without mess and is very reasonably priced. Another added bonus is that it can be purchased easily from most supermarkets. Neutrogena is also recommended by dermatologists as their preferred brand.
Imagine my surprise when after a couple of days I started to noise that my skin was really dry, then after a few more days red patches started to appear. By the end of a week my skin felt terrible, itchy and sore.
I also found that I couldn’t use it around my eyes as they reacted to it. I have used Neutrogena products in the past and haven’t had a problem but I certainly do with this one.
It appeared to strip my skin of any moisture, making it tired and dull. Any natural oils which were normally there disappeared and I likened it to using dish washing liquid on your face.
I wouldn’t buy this again and certainly will be a little more careful when changing cleansers in the future. Whilst I’m not wanting to pay the earth for it, a little more care needs to be taken when choosing next time.
