Cica Barrier 5.5 Cleansing Oil Balm
It is an emollient rich product with ingredients like Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Triethylhexanoin and Coco-caprylate/Caprate and palm oil etc. and goodies like glycerine, Centella Asiatica extract, Laminaria Japonica extract (moisturizing, antioxidant), Eclipta Prostrata leaf extract (antioxidant, calming skin) and HA etc.
The texture is very rich and balmy with no fragrance. I massage it gently on my dry face and it transforms into oil and gives a cool feeling which I really enjoy. It emulsifies well but does leave a thin layer as is the case with most oil-based cleansers. A water-based cleanser after using this is, therefore, a must.
Please note that it does contain some ingredients which are high in comedogenic scale like Ethylhexyl Palmitate and palm oil, if you have acne prone skin. I have had some breakouts after using this initially but I was also going through my period at the time of testing. However, I didn’t experience any breakouts or irritation after that; I’m still using it and my skin has no problem now. So, I can recommend it to dry and dehydrated skin.
It’s a bit heavy for oily and acne prone skin, but then again, it’s just a cleanser and obviously won’t stay on skin for long enough to clog pores. It definitely needs a second water based cleanser.
