Skingredients AHA Lactic Acid Cleanser - 100ml | Brightening & Exfoliating Lactic Acid Facial Cleanser Improves Texture & Pigmentation for Bright, Smooth & Glowing Skin | Vegan & Cruelty-Free Skincare

I just wrote a review for the Sally Cleanse so I'll include a little from that here too..I love the Skin Nerd and her range Skingredients really is a fabulous brand. She absolutely knows her stuff when it comes to skincare. I love that these products are refillable - saving the environment and also a little less expensive for the purchaser is always a win for me!This AHA cleanse is used about 3times a week in the evening. This cleanser is not designed to remove makeup, so I do that first so that my skin is clear of any makeup and prepped for AHA cleansing.The magic stuff in this cleanser is lactic acid & PHA, both of which work together to brighten, exfoliate, hydrate and plump your skin.The exfoliation is not from gritty beads, but from the lactic acid which will gently (even though its an acid - its kind to the skin!) loosen and sweep away the dead skin cells. What you are left with afterwards is a fresh glowing health complexion.I don't have sensitive skin so this is fine for me to use on its own, but you can mix a little of the AHA with PreProbiotic cleanse for a more gentle cleanse if you are sensitive.For me its a winner, along with using the Sally cleanse I can see a difference in the appearance of my skin. My makeup sits better too. I love and will absolutely get the refills.

This is sold as a premium product at £28.99, but although it does its job, I didn't feel it lived up to its promise. There are far cheaper products which do just as good a job and are easier to use.The first thing I noticed was that it was overpackaged. It comes in a plastic pump bottle with a cap, but is contained in a cardboard tube which mimics the appearance of the bottle inside has exactly the same instructions for use. OK, cardboard is recyclable, but why? It makes no sense.The instructions themselves are confusing and actually rather off-putting. Apparently you only use this every 2nd night (why?) and only after "pre-cleansing" (what's that?). You can use it either as a cleanser(leave on 60 seconds) or as a "resurfacing micro-mask" (leave on 7 minutes, and only once a week. To remove it, you're directed to the same manufacturer's "Cleanse Off Mitt", although you can use your hands (I used my hands). After going through all that, myu head was spinning. Eventually I did use it both as a cleanser (using micellar water to pre-cleanse first) and as a mask.Using it was confusing, too. I didn't feel any particular exfoliating effect, despite massaging it in as directed, and although it's advertised as "fragrance free", it actually smells rather mildewy and unpleasant and there's no lathering effect, so you do have to use a fair amount. It cleansed my skin ok, but it didn't feel or look unusually great afterwards - certainly nothing to justify spending nearly thirty quid on a bottle of it. However, my skin did feel quite pleasantly soft and dewy after the 7-minute micro-mask treatment, so that's something.I don;t have sensitive skin but I did worry a bit about the warnings about UV sensitivity due to the lactic acid content. Surely that's the last thing we all need if we're trying to ward off sun damage?To sum up - not bad, but not worth the money.

This is part of the match and mix range from Skingredients. This is a cleanser you use at night. They say to use it on every 3rd night. Yo can also use it as a Micro Mask and you massage into skin and leave for 7 minutes. It is recommended that you only do this once a week.This is a primary pack so when it runs out you buy the refill. The refill tube is £25, so not much difference in cost.Skingredients philosophy is part of what they call a Key 4 process for skin that all ages, all genders, and all skin types.The 1st stage is a PreProbiotic Cleanse Hydrating Cleanser which is in a Purple Tube.The 2nd stage is Skin Veg Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum which is in a Lime Green Tube.The 3rd stage is Skin Protein Anti-Ageing Retinoid Serum which is in a Red Tube (this one)The 4th stage is Skin Shield Moisturising and Priming SPF 50 PA+++ which is in an Orange Tube.You can then mix and match for specialised skin and those products are:AHA Cleanse Brightening and Exfoliating Lactic Acid Cleanser which is in a light Blue Tube.Skin Good Fats Ultra-Hydrating Ceramide Moisturiser which is in Yellow Tube.Sally Cleanse 2% Salicyclic Acid Oil Control Cleanser which is in a Mid Blue Tube.I will say that i do not know or understand why they feel you need 2 different lots of serum, i would pick the one which suits you the most, for me that would be the 2nd stage as i have mature skin and it has collagen in to help elasticity.I am very impressed with this skincare and feel that despite the huge cost, its worth it because you need so little of it at a time. I used only a pea sized amount and that was all that was needed.Expensive, but damn its worth it.
