If you've
read my blog long enough, you'll know I have a strong dislike of gel cleansers.
Having oily/combination skin, I was always told to use gel
cleansers to get rid of excess oil – which actually does the exact opposite of
helping skin like mine. But that’s
another story for another day. Long
story short, gel cleansers and I don’t
get on.
Until I used
Eucerin
DermoPurifyer Cleanser*, £9 that is. Eucerin is a German brand which I have seen in
Boots, but I tend to stick to my skincare that works so never ventured
into.
I use the
soap-free gel cleanser mostly as my morning cleanser and in the evening as my
second cleanser. The cleanser is a
clear, quite runny gel. It has no
fragrance whatsoever and lathers a little as you apply and rub the cleanser on
your skin. I like the fact that it doesn’t
lather a lot like other gel cleansers.
As I wash the cleanser off, there’s no residue left behind yet my skin
feels hydrated (i.e. no tight feeling). I
feel that it cleanses my skin without really stripping it and it has helped to
control the excess oil around my t-zone.
I find that my skin doesn’t get oily quite so quickly.
The cleanser
is non-comedogenic, so will not block your pores causing any blackheads or congested
skin concerns. The cleanser contains
anti-bacterial properties to cleanse skin of any blemish causing nasties!
One thing I
want to mention, the cleanser states it contains ‘A concentration of 6% Ampho-Tenside and
anti-bacterical properties give ensure that skin is fresh and clear.’ –
to my knowledge, the ampho-tenside is a form of emulsifier i.e. mixes oil with
water, so I’m not sure why the concentration is stated on the bottle as an
active ingredient. Although there are
some forms of amphoteric emulsifiers that are used in cosmetics due to their herbicidal
properties. In which case, they should
have used the term amphoteric rather than ampho-tenside. Apologies for the ramble, but I like to know
what’s in my skincare!
Eucerin
DermoPurifyer Cleanser is really mild and gentle on the skin. I imagine people with sensitive skin will
enjoy using this too. It lasts a really
long time. I have been using it for a
few weeks now and feel like I’ve hardly made a dent in the bottle!
If you are
looking for a no-nonsense cleanser that’ll do what it says on the bottle, look
no further!
