MY EXPERIENCE: You only need about a pea-sized amount of this face wash to cover your whole face and to dissolve sunscreen without a problem. I wouldn’t advise using it on you eye makeup though – it stings like hell . So make sure it doesn’t get into your eyes.
After washing my face with this product, my skin does feel a little tight – not uncomfortably tight but still . On the other hand the oily section feels a lot less oily. But I cannot ignore the tightness and it takes a good moisturizer to eliminate the feeling.
I started using this face wash without paying too much attention to the ingredients list, because it was included in a “Best of Origins” skincare gift set that my sister gave to me .
It contains two fatty acids that may be comedogenic – myristic acid and lauric acid.
📍Acne.org recommends avoiding products that contain comedogenic ingredients in the first seven ingredients and this product violates that requirement. It includes myristic acid(comedogenic score 3) as 3rd ingredient. Lauric acid has slightly higher comedogenic rate (4) but it doesn’t appear in first 7 ingredients.
📍This face wash also includes methylchloroisothiazolinone & methylisothiazolinone – 2 preservatives that are normally included in shampoos & are potentially more irritating than other preservatives. So they’re only permitted in rinse off products.
In my case, not checking the ingredients list turned out to be a good thing for me, because all those ingredients might have scared me away from using it . But it didn’t caused any breakouts or irritation. However, I recommend to patch test it to see if it causes any irritation or breakouts.
Have you tried the face wash? What were your thoughts!
