Cleanse Face-Wash for Blue Collar

Got curious about the formula after a mate mentioned the ingredient list was unusually solid for a face scrub, so I looked into it myself before ordering Turns out he wasn't exaggerating, salicylic acid for breakouts, niacinamide for tone and texture, ceramides to protect the skin barrier, plus hyaluronic acid for hydration, all sitting alongside the actual exfoliating grit

That's a lot going on for something marketed as a simple daily scrub, most face washes aimed at blokes are pretty bare bones by comparison Been using it every morning for about two months and the results back it up, clearer skin, less oil through the day, and none of the tightness or irritation I was half expecting from a product with this much grit in it

Can't say I've found anything else out there combining this many potent ingredients into a scrub without the price tag of a proper dermatology brand

My partner runs her own little skincare routine and always used to give me grief about just splashing water on my face Finally caved and started using CLEANSE about three months ago now, mostly to get her off my back if I'm honest

Turns out she was right the whole time My skin's noticeably clearer, less oily through the day, and the grit in this one actually feels like it's doing something rather than just being there for texture Doesn't leave my face feeling dry either, which I was worried about given how gritty it is

Been using it every morning and night since, and it's genuinely become a routine I stick to without even thinking about it now, which says a lot given how long I went without ever using anything on my face at all

Spent a good while looking into what's actually in this before buying, wanted to understand why it worked rather than just take the marketing at face value Turns out there's a proper formula behind it, salicylic acid for actually dealing with breakouts, niacinamide for tone, and a full set of ceramides, NP, AP and EOP, working to stop the skin barrier from getting wrecked despite the exfoliating grit doing its job

That's a genuinely thought out combination, most scrubs either strip your skin raw or barely do anything at all, this one manages to exfoliate properly while still supporting the skin underneath Been using it daily for a couple months now and the results have matched the formula, clearer skin, less oiliness, no dryness or irritation despite using a physical exfoliant every day

Haven't come across another face wash in this price range with this level of thought put into the ingredient list, most brands aimed at guys just chuck in some mint and call it a day
