The Product: Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Cleanser ($38 CDN)
This skincare line is all about the pH balance of the skin, and keeping the skin hydrated. This particular cleanser contains grapefruit extract, which is both an astringent and naturally antibacterial. This gel cleanser is also advertised as a makeup remover, and claims can eliminate the use of a toner. I'm all about the "all-in-one" products. One less step to worry about is a great thing!
THE RESULTS
Now as a makeup remover, it did a great job on every day makeup. But for those extra special occasions I did have to do a double wash to get my face clean. Now for the elimination of a toner - I'm not going to lie, I'm not sure I'm a huge toner believer. I was fine thought a toner with this face wash but I can't say I would know what I'm missing.
Overall, this cleanser is comparable to medical grade cleansers I have tried in the past. If you are on the hunt for a new cleanser, this is one to try. I purchased mine online from etiket - they offer free shipping and if you sign up for their promotional emails they offer you 15% off your first purchase. And in case you're wondering, I get nothin' for tellin ya, who doesn't like a deal?!
