In the test queue - The Body Shop Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser

For the past month, I've been patch testing The Body Shop Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser. I have to say, I'm really impressed. I had heard good things about this from skincare addicts I follow on Instagram, so I purchase it during The Body Shop's 40% off sale. I'm so glad I did. Normally priced at £7.50, it's a bargain anyway.



This is a gentle cream cleanser, that cleanses my skin very well. I was a bit apprehensive at first, as I've never tried an Aloe product before, and I know Aloe Vera can be potentially irritating to some people. But, thankfully, my skin is reacting well to it. My skin is more balanced, my forehead is not oily, and my cheeks are not dry, it's perfect. It rinses off very well, and it leaves my skin clean (not tight) and perfectly balanced.

Rating: 10/10

Would I repurchase: Yes, definitely

In the test queue - REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk

Image
I like to try out new products, but I have to introduce them slowly to try and prevent any major reactions to products. I patch test every new product in the same area, my cheek, chin and nose. My chin and nose are where I experience any breakouts, if I have one. My cheek is where I experience no breakouts, so I test there to see if a new product would cause a breakout in that area, and if it did, the product would be unsuitable for me. I patch test new products for four weeks, to give my skin time to react to the product. I'm currently testing the REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk . Although it's called a cleansing milk, it has much more of a whipped texture, like a cream, more than a milk. I like the pump packaging, it's very efficient. My first impressions of this product were disappointing. I had such high hopes for this product. It sinks in quite quickly once massaged onto the skin, and it comes off easily with a face cloth, but it's just disappointing. ...

In the test queue - Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum

Image
I'm currently testing the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum. I was browsing on YesStyle one day and this brand caught my attention. I've seen people rave about Klairs Supple Preparation Toner but I'd never seen anyone mention any of their other products. I decided to buy this as well as buying the popular Supple Preparation Toner. Klairs describe this as a gentle aqueous serum which helps replenish moisture and soothe the skin. I'm currently loving hydrating products at the minute so I decided to start testing this. My first thoughts are that this has a nice consistency. I've been using this on a night to start with, I may add it into my morning routines once I know it's not going to break me out. This is feels so light and absorbs so easily. I'm really liking it so far. I particularly like to use this on the nights where I use a BHA as my skin can feel a bit dry from using it. I feel like this is helping improve my moisture levels. My skin can feel so d...
