May 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments

A. BIOTHERM HOMME
Size: 5 oz.
Skin Type: Normal skin
Key Ingredients: Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Fragrance (Parfum), Cleansing Gel
Thoroughly cleanses and rids skin of impurities while respecting the skin’s surface. This is a great cleanser to use before shaving, softening both the skin and bristles. Skin feels clean and revitalized.

B. Johnston and Murphy Face Start USD 15
Size: 5 oz.
Skin Type: All
Key Ingredients: Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Fragrance (Parfum)
Does its job. Basic and simple face cleanser at a reasonable price.

C. MenScience Daily Face Wash

Size: 8 oz.
Skin Type: All
Key Ingredients: Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid & Aloe Vera
Some have found this face wash is too drying and that it has left their skin tight and flaky. We like the shampoo and body wash from this line, but not this particular product (the face wash). We advise you to use a smaller amount to reduce the drying effect. The Molton Brown Papain Face Wash is a much more gentle cleanser and has a great smell (see below).

D. ZIRH CLEAN
Size: 8.4 oz.
Skin Type: All skin types
Fragrance: A touch of citrus
Key Ingredients: Lemon Oil, Sugar Cane

This is a good overall face wash for daily use. It does all that it claims and makes your skin feel clean and ready to face the day.

E. Urth Face Wash
Size: 8 oz.
Skin Type: Normal to Oily
Key Ingredients: White Tea Extract, Ginseng & Vitamins A, C, D & E
Great face wash for your oily/dry combo skin. Mens Health Magazine awarded this as the winner in 2007 for the best wash. It lives up to all the hype. Although the product is non-foaming (which might need some getting used to), it works magic for your skin. Cleanses very well without over stripping or drying. It smells great and it lasts forever. Its a nice sized bottle for the money.

F. Anthony Logistics Algae Facial Cleanser
Size: 120ml
Skin Type: Normal to Dry
Fragrance: None
Key Ingredients: Algae, Glycerin, Aloe Vera
This is a face cleanser with a great smell and unique texture. However, it might dry your skin if your skin type is already dry. We would recommend this on normal skin only.

G. Dermalogica Skin Purifying Wipes
Size: Travel Pack (20 wipes)
Skin Type: Normal/Oily
Key Ingredients: Triclosan & Balm Mint
Put this by your bed. After a night of drinking, when you don’t want to wash, grab your wipes and go. Trust me, you won’t get that morning zit.

H. Molton Brown Papian Daily Facial
Size: 120ml
Skin Type: All
Key Ingredients: Papaya Extract, Lemon Extract, Medowfoam Oil
Easily our favourite facial wash. Smells great and leaves your skin soft and clean! And more importantly, it doesn’t dry your skin.
