When Escentual asked for beauty bloggers with oily and blemish prone skin to try out a new cleanser, I quite literally jumped at the opportunity. I have combination skin which leans towards the oily side coupled with flare ups of Roseacea, so this product sounded like something I definitely needed to try. The cleanser in question is from the Eucerin range, one which I had not tried and a brand I didn't know that much about.
When my package arrived I was delighted to see that I not only have the Cleanser, but pretty much a whole series of products from the Eucerin range to try. Within the package was:
- Eucerin Dermo Purifyer Cleanser in a 200ml bottle
- Eucerin Even Brighter Day Cream in a 20ml tub
- Eucerin even Brighter Night Cream in 20ml tub
Then there was a host of sample size products which included:
- 20ml version of the Dermo Purifyer Cleanser
- 10ml tube of Intensive Dry Skin Foot Cream
- 7ml tube of Anti-age volume filler
- 7ml tube Aquaporin Active
- 7ml tube of Anti-age Hyaluron Filler with SPF15
- 7ml tube of Q10 Active Anti-wrinkle Day Cream
- 7ml tube of DermoPurifyer Adjunctive Hydrating Care Cream
- 7ml tube of AtoControl Face Care Cream for dry and irritated skin
- 7ml tube of Anti-age Volume Filler with SPF15
With all of that in one package it is such a great introduction to a brand and one that I have enjoyed using. I love sample products because you can use them for a few days to get an initial view of something before deciding whether or not you want to purchase a bigger size. What I've found with these sample tubes is that you have enough for more than a few days which is really helpful.
The Eucerin DermoPURIFYER Cleanser states that it "cleanses gently and effectively eliminates excess sebum while removing dirt and make-up", it is also soap and fragrance free. The cleanser comes in a cylindrical plastic tube with a green push down lid which is easy to open and when you close it, it is secure. The colour scheme is quite simple yet effective with the green and white working well together.
Living in London, I am sure you can imagine just how travelling around on and off public transport can make you feel. There are days when I come home from work and want nothing more than to clean my face before I do anything else.
When using this cleanser you are directed to wet your face, apply the cleanser to your hands and work into a lather. When you apply it to your hands it comes out of the bottle it is a clear gel and as you rub it into your hands it quickly forms a lather which you can then apply to your face and massage in before rinsing with clean warm water. Surprisingly you really don't need to use much of this product to create that lather to cover your entire face, so it is one of those products where a little goes a long way and you definitely get your moneys worth. As always, once you have finished rinsing your face, pat your skin dry. I have been using this product for the last month and I had expected it to dry my skin out but surprisingly it didn't, what i did get was soft smooth skin which felt incredibly moisturised and there was no sign of irritation and nor did it cause any further flare-ups of my Roseacea.
As well as being soap and fragrance free, this cleasner contains citric acid and salicylic acid which helps to clean the skin and clear the skin to avoid breakouts. The only thing I found this cleanser didn't do was eliminate excess sebum, half way through the day my shiny nose and forehead would still occur as they had before using this product, that said it did leave my face soft, smooth and supple as the claims stated it would and what impressed me the most is the fact I had no irritation and no further flare-ups.
For £9 I think you get very good value for money with this cleanser, I have another 2-3 months usage left in the bottle after having used it for just over a month already. It does definitely clean the skin, that fresh clean feeling you get after using it is lovely, its just on my skin, it didn't clear eliminate the excess sebum, perhaps I misunderstood the claim but as it stands by mid-afternoon the sebum is definitely back.
You can purchase this product and others from the Eucerin range via ESCENTUAL but be quick as there are currently 1/3 off offers which are well worth taking advantage of.
