Description

Thoughts
Out of all the products in the set, this is the only one I've been using daily because I have to cleanse my skin no matter what especially since I apply foundation, concealer, and pretty much any kind of face makeup almost every day. As the description says, this is meant for acne-prone skin which isn't exactly my skin type, but I do suffer occasional breakouts which I haven't experienced at all ever since using this product. It clears up my skin and reduces redness in a matter of days, which is incredibly impressive for a cleanser. The only thing is that it has a pretty strong chemical scent even though it doesn't contain harsh detergents.

Thoughts
This is probably my least used product in the set because every time I incorporate it into my skin care routine, my face becomes extremely dry to the point that it hurts to make any major facial expressions. I don't particularly need this anyway because I don't really have problems with blackheads and whiteheads.

Thoughts
I mainly apply this on areas with large pores such as my nose, the skin surrounding it, and my forehead in an attempt to reduce the pore size, but it's not too effective on that aspect. I think it's only meant to clear up clogged pores, which I feel like the cleanser already does itself, so I don't feel the need to apply this every single day. However, it does feel like it repairs my skin and makes it tighter and more youthful.

This comes across as an interesting post that solves out or rather focuses on benefits of phenoxyethanol as a component for safe skin
