Centella Cleansing Foam
this is my latest discovery!! i love trying out new cleansers and finding out what ingredients and types suit my skin the best.
a little fyi - i have pretty sensitive skin, i’ve also had a lot of eczema before sometimes on my face as well. bha and aha have always been too strong in the formulations i’ve tried. especially salicylic acid.
so i was very reluctant to try this cleanser after i found out it contained salicylic acid. i’m not sure what percentage but i’m assuming somewhere between 0.5% and 1%.
it’s main ingredient is centella extract that i personally love as a soothing, hydrating ingredient. it controlled my breakouts when nothing else seemed to soothe them. and it was so great when my skin turned on me and suddenly turned combo to borderline oily for a few weeks.
anyway this cleanser has to be one of the most gentle i’ve tried so far ( between foam and gel). it has a nearly milky texture that lathers up very nicely without feeling sticky or drying out too fast, and foams up nice and gentle. i have been struggling with really stubborn texture for so long. i’ve tried so many products and nothing seems to work. i just started retinol and that seems to be settling my skin.
but those little bumps and whiteheads on my cheeks are still there! so imagine my surprise when after 2 DAYS of use the salicylic acid smoothed them out to the point i can barely feel them to the touch. i’m so amazed. i really thought people were lying about salicylic acid!! i’ve used gentle exfoliants before but NOTHING has ever been this effective.
i know this is a bit of a longer more rant like review, but i hope you enjoy it anyway and let me know if you enjoy these types of reviews more.
as i stated earlier my skin is quite sensitive and i have also been using it for about a week so maybe my skin still needs to settle a little, but my upper cheeks did redder up and feel a bit more sensitive than usually after i cleansed. i’ve update when i figure it out!

Hey, i would suggest that don't use this daily, as it has salycilic acid which i advised to use twice or thrice a week. I have sensitive oily skin and i made this mistake and ruined ny skin. In the start it looks amazing but afterwards it doesn't.

I was actually contemplating on getting this cleanser, guess I can have a peace of mind now. Thank you 🥹
