Rovectin - Robynrose review for Clean Green Papaya Pore Cleansing Foam

🌱 Brand Story: Rovectin as a brand actually came about when the founder’s sister was recovering from chemotherapy for cancer and he wanted to help repair her damaged skin. From then on, Rovectin has been focused on creating products that are safe and healthy for those with extreme sensitivities. 🌱 Claims: Alcohol-free, Paraben-free, Silicone-free, Sulfate-free, Allergen-free, Fragrance-free, Pregnancy-friendly, Non-comedogenic, Oil-free, Fungal Acne-Safe 🌱 Key Ingredients: A patented blend of fruit extracts provides AHA/BHA/PHA exfoliation 15% Glycerin provides moisture after cleansing Neem, Chinaberry, green tea and fig extracts provide antioxidant benefit 🌱 Ph: 5.0-6.0 🌱 Notes: Wintergreen and charcoal are advertised as providing benefits, but they are so low on teh ingredients list they are pretty much negligible. Which is fine, because mint tends to be an irritant. 🌱 I am much more excited by the inclusion of fruit extracts (Papaya, Prune, Apple, Grape) that will help break down oil and dead skin. Texture: This cleanser works into a smooth, dense lather with tons of tiny bubbles. You can really work it into your pores. Even with my dry skin, I have never felt stripped from massaging this into my face. 🌱 Scent: None, soapy. 🌱 Price: $25.60CA for 150mL or $0.18/ml 🌱 Application: This is one of the few cleansers where I can actually feel it removing skin cells and not just stripping me of oil. When I use this, I can feel and see bits of dead skin being removed. I attribute this to the fruit enzymes, which dissolve excess protein, not just oil. Unfortunately, cleansers simply aren’t left on the skin long enough for antioxidant ingredients to really sink in, but it’s nice that they are included, and some provide calming anti-irritation properties. 🌱 Every day? This is the cleanser I find myself reaching for the most for my nightly wash. 🌱 Packaging: If I’m being picky, I find Rovectin’s ultra-minimal packaging a little underwhelming, and could possibly lead to confusion if they produce two products of the same size and shape. You know how you sometimes reach for the conditioner instead of shampoo in the shower when the bottles are identical. Rovectin does include stickers to decorate their products with, but older users may not be interested in this. 🌱 Accessibility: Might be worth exploring a less minimal design as a company, especially if a buyer does not read the language on the package. Colours and graphic design can help cross language barriers. 🌱 Sustainability: This product cannot be refilled. 🌱 Overall: I would recommend this cleanser to anyone who is looking for thorough cleansing with enzyme exfoliation. As someone with dry skin, it helps remove excess dead skin cells without stripping my skin of already low oils. It is a pleasure to use!
