Mona's (much anticipated) skin care review. Part 1 - CLEANSERS

For oily/combination skin:

1. H2O Marine Cleansing Gel ($28 for 170mL) ** my current favorite!

- face feels very clean, but not squeaky.

2. Yonka Nettoyant Cleansing Gel ($44 for 200mL)

- smells nice, doesn't rinse as clean as #1. Only small amount needed.

3. Decleor Cleansing Milk for Face and Eyes ($32 for 250 ml)

- smells wonderful but doesn't feel like it is cleaning your face.
It feels more like a moisturizer so it doesn't really foam, so you end up using more product. Not recommended.

4. Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser with salicylic acid ($11 for 180mL)

- dries out skin too much if used daily. But can use as an exfoliant from time to time.
It's one of the few daily cleansers that has an acid in it.

5. Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution or Dermal Clay Cleanser ($30 for 250mL)

- the first feels slippery after you've washed it off; the second leaves your face with a clean and fresh minty feeling.

6. Clinique Facial Soap ($13.50 for large bar)

- fragrance free, rinses clean.
Good value if you don't mind the messiness of soap.

7. Philosophy Purity Made Simple ($28 for 240mL)

- over rated, what's so special?
