I want to start off by saying that I am a Certified Product Junkie. I love buying and trying new products for my hair and my face, including oils, cleansers, moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners, etc! I'm an addict!
For my first review on this blog, I want to tell you guys about Mario Badescu Skincare Enzyme Cleansing Gel.
Purchased From: Ulta
Cost: $12
Most days (5 days a week), I wear a full face of make up including foundation, concealer, bronzer, some sort of highlight, eye shadow, eye liner, and mascara. Wow that was a mouthful! I work in a jail which is not the cleanest place to be for 8 hours a day. And last but not last, I have oily acne prone skin.
When I take off my make up at night, I use a simple baby wipe for sensitive skin. Of course that's not enough for an effective nightly facial routine. After I wash my face with the wipes, it looks like all of my make up is off. HOWEVER, when I wash my face with this Enzyme Cleansing Gel, my towel looks like I just wiped off a complete face of make up. I would think my face was perfectly clean but this cleanser took the dirt, oil, and make up straight from my pores! AWESOME!
This product may have been $12 but a little bit goes a long way and this bottle is packed full. I have been using this product for nearly 3 months and I use it about 4 days a week and look how much I still have! A lot of bang for your buck if I do say so myself......and I do.
Also, I have found that when it comes to buying facial cleansers, it's such a confusing deal! How do you figure put what is made specifically for your skin type?? But when I found Mario Badescu's line in Ulta, although I didn't realize it at the time, this product has a small sign on the side of the label that says whether its for oily skin, combination, dry skin, or even for all skin types! What?! Yeah! Yeah I said it! It's plain and clear!
