If you’re yet to invest in a good cleanser, skincare fans ‘swear by’ this ‘gentle yet effective’ formula which is said to ‘reduce blemishes and redness’ within just one week of use.
When it comes to a good skincare routine, investing in the right cleanser to wipe away make-up, dirt and dead skin cells is key for keeping your skin feeling refreshed, clear and hydrated – and this £24 Medik8 favourite aims to do just that.
Formulated with an exfoliating AHA/BHA complex for visible skin smoothing and brightening results, the Surface Radiance cleanser is recommended for all skin types but is especially beneficial for those trying to improve the appearance of signs of ageing, dullness and uneven texture.
The radiance-boosting gel cleanser boasts an uplifting citrus scent that transforms into light foam, leaving skin fully cleansed of oil, dirt and impurities. It’s also the perfect pick if you’re looking to introduce a double-cleanse routine.
Plenty of shoppers have left five-star reviews, calling the cleanser ‘great for sensitive skin’ and ‘outstanding.’ One delighted customer said: “I have used a cream cleanser for over 20 years but as I was now using some of this range I decided to try this recommended cleanser and am so thankful I did.
“A small amount is enough for a thorough cleanse and it’s so gentle on the skin but you can feel it clean. Wouldn’t be without it.”
A second wrote: “If you’re looking for a mild cleanser that won’t strip your skin, look no further.”
While a third who claims ‘a little goes a long way,’ added: “I genuinely don’t go through more than two tubes of this a year. It emulsifies and lathers beautifully with water.
“I apply it dry at first then add water as a first cleanse. Obliterates make up well and I love that it doesn’t dry my sensitive skin out.”
Despite the cleanser receiving plenty of positive feedback, it seems not everyone is a fan with one customer saying: “I think this must have an extremely low percentage of salicylic acid in – I’ve not seen any difference in my skin.
“Straight after washing my face it looks clear-ish then my pores are visible again not long after. No improvement to my skin texture either.”
If you want to try it before committing to the full-size bottle, you can grab a travel-sized 40ml tube for £10 on Medik8 that’s perfect for short trips away.
If you’re not looking to splash out £24 on a cleanser, Cetaphil’s gentle skin cleanser contains niacinamide, hydrating glycerin and panthenol to help soothe and replenish skin’s moisture. Plus it’s on sale now at Boots for £12 down from £16.
