Skincode Essentials S.O.S Oil Control Clarifying Wash 125ml

Fresh and beautiful skin

I have been using this product for 4years now never tried anything else and never regret it!

This cleanser is relatively gentle and is good for those who struggle with oily skin or combo skin. I have combo skin and this seemed to work well for my skin without over-drying it. I'd be inclined to give it 5 stars, but I am a bit offended by the ad copy for this. The product info claims "Dermatologically tested. Free from: parabens, fragrance, preservatives and colorants." First, of course it has a preservative; most products should have some type of preservative unless it can be used up quickly. It has a very gentle preservative, ethylhexylglycerin, but that's still a preservative. It also has a small amount of alcohol, which I suspect is used for it's preservative abilities more than as a solvent. This is also not what I would classify as fragrance free. According to a leading chemical manufacturer that labs order from, Pentadecalactone "can be used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient due to its musk flavor/odor." It's also listed as a perfuming agent in two reputable cosmetic ingredient sources I use regularly. Indeed, this product has a scent, albeit mild and not lingering, that others remark on as well.

good quality easy to use gentle on my skin great as a gift item

Key ingredients: -CM-Glucan -Salicylic acid -Pore refining active Free of: -Fragrance -Parabens This oil control face wash is very creamy but it lathers up really well(don’t need much). It doesn’t have a fragrance added and seems fairly gentle for sensitive skin. I’ve only been using this product for a couple of days(day and night) and I am already noticing that my blemishes are starting minimize and heal. The texture of my skin is also improving. I think with a couple more days my skin will look more clear and smooth. I’m loving the results so far.
