Hi!
Today I want to present you one of the products I buy back. Last week I bought the tube number 4. Okay, I have to admit that number 1 was given as a Christmas present from sister in December 2010 🙂
Official product presentation:
< Natural bamboo micro-particles cleanses the skin of the surface, effectively removing dead cells, sebum and impurities that clog pores. Extract of Lemongrass, known for its antiseptic properties, stimulates and invigorates the skin, leaving it refreshed and toned. Clinically proven results: Use: This is a product for mechanical skin exfoliation. I would prefer the chemical exfoliation because it is much more beneficial for the skin, but in Romania there are not many such products, so we can handle what we have 🙂 Cleansing my skin with such a product after cleansing and every morning is a rule for me that I never deviate from. Why? First of all, because the make-up remover will never be able to remove all traces of make-up and because a clean complexion must be taken care of in order to be maintained. Always after using a water-soluble cleanser I recommend using tonic (without alcohol) to remove any traces left by water full of substances and impurities + if you use a product that dries the skin, you will get rid of the feeling of "skin that holds" . Pros: Cons: If you don't already know the blog CorinaI invite you to visit it because you will only have good things to learn. Thanks to them, I pay more attention to the products I buy and use. That is why I took each ingredient separately and studied it and said to show you the conclusions briefly, so that you can draw your own conclusions. I admit that I am not yet in a position to give verdicts to the products (if they are well / poorly formulated), but I read something on this subject every day and I will share with you all the new information I find and I ask you to do the same Because it's more fun to learn in a group than alone. Ingredient: Most of the information is taken from Beautypedia which I invite you to consult whenever you need, you do not know what an ingredient does or when you want to buy a new product, and where I did not find there, I consulted other sources that I mentioned. My conclusion is that the product is quite well formulated and that I can still use it on my combination skin (oily in the T zone). Price - 12-14 lei Validity - 12 months from opening Quantity - 150 ml Packing - tube No parabens, but this promise leaves me cold 🙂 PS: If you are interested in special products for combination skin (oily / oily in the T zone), I would like to inform you that a series of reviews of tested products (special for rebalancing sebum secretion, cleansing, etc.) are much better structured. and with more complete information. A wonderful spring!

Hi:)
I also use this cleansing gel and I like it. I would say at one point that you recommend after using an alcohol-free tonic. Can you tell me such a product, which I can find in stores in Romania? I gave up the tonic for a long time because I couldn't find one without alcohol. At the moment I have the one from Liz, but after it is over I would like to take one from the local market.
Thanks: D
Good morning!
I use Eucerin Rebalancing Tonic Lotion. I will review it if you want and I will carefully analyze the ingredients. Kiss you!
Thanks, I would be really interested :)
But you also remove make-up in the morning? Isn't it enough to use the exfoliating gel? I have the whole Elmpilant Skin Control range ... it's ok, but I want to try Vichy Normadrem when I finish them
That's right, it does not eliminate blackheads, but it is very effective for skin affected by excess sebum. After a single wash it can soothe and even disinfect a complexion with occasional pimples because it has a slightly abrasive texture due to those green particles that are visible. Today I finished the container and I am satisfied. It's even better than the Face-wash foaming gel from Gerovital that I've been using for months. It leaves the skin dull, not dry, and the pimples become imperceptible. So good for a masculine complexion.
”Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and its close relative Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) are commonly used in many soaps, shampoos, detergents, toothpastes and other products that we expect to“ foam up ”. Both chemicals are very effective foaming agents, chemically known as surfactants.
Unfortunately, both sodium laureth sulfate and its cousin are also very dangerous, highly irritating chemicals. Far from giving “healthy shining hair” and “beautiful skin”, soaps and shampoos containing sodium laureth sulfate can lead to direct damage to the hair follicle, skin damage, permanent eye damage in children and even liver toxicity.
Although sodium laureth sulfate is somewhat less irritating than SLS, it cannot be metabolized by the liver and its effects are therefore much longer-lasting. This not only means it stays in the body tissues for longer, but much more precious energy is used getting rid of it. ”
Sodium Laureth Sulfate - NOT good… it's irritating
