After having Covid, my skin really was not happy and in many respects still isn't. I have always had combination/oily skin and have learnt to accept that whilst I am never going to be shine free and have insta-perfect skin, there is products I can use to keep the shine down to a minimal along with blemishes and everything else. That said, my skin has become quite dry, so I changed my routine slightly to accommodate products that are said to help with dryness and one of those is the Skinceuticals Gentle Cleanser Cream.
On the skin, this cleanser, which helpfully comes in a pump action bottle, is really creamy and isn't designed to foam, but when it comes into contact with water, the creaminess does become more of a milky texture. It is a very delicate cream cleanser that doesn't dry out or strip the strip the skin but it does an impressive job at removing excess oil which sits on the surface of the skin, as well as remove your makeup, though I can't comment on eye makeup, as I always use eye makeup remover.
This product also removes any excess oil, which, if like me you have that combination oily skin, it is very much needed. After using, what I loved was how soft my skin felt to the touch without feeling dry and for me, when using a cleanser, I want a product which not only cleanses my skin, but also one which doesn't leave it feeling stripped or taut.
This cleanser does have a really nice scent to it, this comes from the inclusion of Orange Peel Oil and its job is to act as an antibacterial ingredient for the skin and then we also have Glycerin which is great for hydration as well as nourishment and skin soothing.
Overall, I have absolutely loved using this cleanser, I love how it leaves my skin feeling after using it and priced at £38 for me, it is worth every single penny. This is the first product iI'e used with Skinceuticals and it has made me want to try absolutely everything else the range has to offer!
