Vitamin C products are everywhere you turn right now and I have been using the Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Skin Renew Cleansing Oil and liked it a whole lot more than I had been expecting too. Super Facialist is a British born skincare brand that allows you to be your own skin care expert, your own Super Facialist. The brand believes that products should work with the skin, not against it, so have carefully formulated a collection of unique products that beautifully connect nature, science and the senses resulting in simple skin care that works – for everyone.
Described as being 'the ultimate cleansing experience for fresher, more revived skin' there are two reasons I really like this oil. The first is that it is incredibly lightweight, so much so it doesn't feel heavy on the skin. It is infused with Vitamin C and nourishing Olive, Grapeseed and Rosehip oils. There is also then the use of Rosemary oil, Vitamin E and soothing Cucumber oil. All of these oils and no greasy feeling on the skin during or after using. The second reason I really like it is the scent. I am quite picky about scents in skincare, they need to really have a purpose and for this oil the citrus scent is just incredibly refreshing on the skin, making what is a beautiful cleansing oil all the more lovely to use.
I have used a fair few cleansing oils in my time, some leave the skin feeling like an oil slick whereas others I have felt left my skin feeling a little dry. This Cleansing Oil which is highly soluble transforms itself into a light milky texture when it comes into contact with water. I use it as a first cleanse and I am a huge fan of double cleansing, there is something about ensuring every little piece of dirt, grime, pollutant and general 'guff' is removed from your skin. So when using, I always dispense some of the oil into the palms of my hands and massage it onto my face, once I've done that for a few minutes, it is at this point I add the warm water, usually splashing my face lightly first and then by grabbing a muslin cloth to remove and rinse everything off and from my skin. After using, my skin is left feeling cleansed, refreshed and softer to the touch.
Priced around £10.99 here in Boots, you can also find this Cleansing Oil in Sainsburys and online.
