Kosmea Clarifying Facial Wash review

Kosmea says…

Removes make-up, dirt and skin impurities without over-drying the skin. For squeaky clean skin that feels super-soft!

This sodium lauryl sulphate-free formula still gently foams on the skin giving you that squeaky-clean feeling, but won’t over-dry or irritate the skin. Great for younger and oilier skin types, this every day facial wash also contains skin-conditioning properties of organic rose hip oil and Australian quandong and lilly pilly extract which leave skin feeling soft, and moisturised.

price: $34.95 AUD

Availability: David Jones department stores (Australia), www.kosmea.com.au (with international shipping) , selected pharmacies and health food stores.

Review:

A few weeks ago, Olivia from Kosmea asked me what my absolute favourite Kosmea products are. Without even needing to think about it, I told her that it was the Kosmea Organic Rose Hip Oil (which I reviewed here) and the Kosmea Clarifying Facial Cleanser.

Can you guess what arrived in the mail for me a week later? :)

Meet my Holy Grail gel facial cleanser.

Kosmea Clarifying Facial Wash

The Kosmea Clarifying Facial cleanser does a great job of removing makeup and leaves my skin feeling thoroughly clean and soft without stripping it like many gel cleansers will do to my skin (even some ‘natural’, non SLS gel cleansers like Korres White Tea Gel cleanser and Trilogy Balancing Gel Cleanser will still strip my skin silly).

This cleanser is not just for dry skin, it’s quite well suited for oily acne prone skin too. A male friend of mine with oily skin started using Kosmea Clarifying Facial wash after staying over one night and he absolutely loves it- he feels that it cleanses well and controls oil production during the day. This is all he uses now.

It feels really lovely on the face with it’s silky, cushiony texture and my favourite bit is that it smells like fresh rose petals and Turkish Delight (probably due to the rose water and essential oils in the ingredients).

Kosmea Clarifying Facial Wash uses gentle cleansing agents like Caprylyl Glucoside and is free of harsh detergents like Sodium Laureth and Lauryl Sulphates (SLS)- so this is a low foaming cleanser. If you are used to a foam bomb type facial cleanser then we need to talk
