REVIEW
As I have story story in my previous post - My Skincare Routine: How I Prep My Skin Before My Wedding Day, actually the doctor asked me to change cleanser. She asked me to buy skincare brands instead of cosmetics brands. I don't really know what to get but I also don't want to spend a lot of money on cleansers but beauty gurus and any makeup lover really love this Philosophy Purity cleanser so I decided to try it out even though it cost a fricking arm. I have always been using Himalaya Neem Face Wash and recently I changed to their Lemon Face Wash for oily skin. I love the scent and they are retailed at RM31.70 but me being cheapskate, I never buy the full price. Always always get it on sale. Hahaha.
So let's do some math. Himalaya has 150ml of product and this Philosophy I bought is the 240ml bottle, retailed at RM95 *dies*.
RM31.70/150ml=RM0.21/ml
RM95/240ml=RM0.39/ml
Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser: RM33.50/250ml=RM0.13/ml
(KENAPA CETAPHIL LAGI MURAH????)
But then I always buy Himalaya cleansers only when they're on sale (ha ha ha)
Tengok macam takde beza sangat, beza 18 sen tapi still rasa mehe. Hahahhaahhahahaha. Aku tak beli Cetaphil just because the doctor said it's too gentle and she said I need like super stuff to get gunks out of muh face ya know?
First impression: It smells like a mosquito repellent, I thought it has some kind of vanilla scent at first but I wasn't super excited after I smelled it. LOL. It's not foamy, quite gentle but it feels a bit drying on my skin, not sure if it's because of the exfoliant I have been using.
The texture is like a gel-cream kinda thing, not foamy at all, so I can totally say that it's a gentle cleanser but with lots of skin benefits? Idk man.
So it says here on the bottle that it's a 3 in 1 cleanser, "gently cleanses and melts away face and eye makeup in one simple step, while toning and lightly hydrating. skin is left feeling perfectly clean, comfortable and balanced." I guess it claims that it is a face and eye makeup remover?
I actually tested it out as a makeup remover and it removed my face makeup quite well. However, it didn't remove my mascara completely. I have to remove my mascara with a proper makeup remover. But I do have to wash my face twice with the cleanser, or else my face won't be so clean. Because the second time, I used the cleansing pad thing and still got makeup leftover on it ya know. Oh and I think I felt like my skin is drying earlier because of the BHA exfoliant that I was using at that time because now my skin feels so much smoother and so clean after using the Purity cleanser. It does help with my dry patches because of the chemical exfoliation. My face can recover in less than 2 days time with proper care (gentle cleanser > moisturizing sheet mask > rose hip oil > night cream)
Let's take their few points yang diorang claimed it to be:
deep cleans pores - not sure but my face does feel cleaner after
eliminates makeup build-up - maybe.. dunno LOL
natural oil extracts help condition skin - maybe...
fragrance-free formula - this is a bit weird, the older formula didn't have parfum as one of the ingredients but the improved formula does have so... Yeah. I don't get it.
I noticed when I bring it in my travel bag, it leaks... So yeah. Wasted
Final thoughts: To be honest, I think other cleansers work as well as this Purity. I think it's a bit too pricey? I don't really know what is the long term benefit of using it, even if you just use any regular cleanser will do the trick I guess? I really do enjoy using it, of course I feel like repurchasing it but it's too pricey for me. Hahaha. I can see my money flying away if I ever wished to buy this baby. I really love it. Tapi tulah. Kedekut.
You don't really have to spend that much for a cleanser as it goes down in your sink, it doesn't stay on your skin ya know? I prefer to splurge on a decent night cream or maybe night serum because they stay on the skin. But this is just my personal opinion. But if you wanna splurge, this is a pretty good cleanser. I think it suits all skin types, even sensitive ones because it is such a gentle cleanser. Totally not gonna repurchase it because I am a cheapo. Hah!
Rating: ★★★★☆
(nk letak 3 setengah tak boleh, so kasi 4 lah)
So yeah. I hope yall find this helpful in anyway.
