GLAMGLOW SUPERCLEANSE: Hit or Miss?

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I love GLAMGLOW face masks. Pricy but oh so effective. Not too long ago, GLAMGLOW released a line of cleansers that go along with the masks and at a significantly cheaper price tag. I was in between cleansers so I thought I’d give it a shot.

GLAMGLOW SUPERMUD Cleanser

I have the SUPERCLEANSE formula which matches the SUPERCLEANSE mask so it is designed to start out as mud but transform into a lather that washes away dirt and rids pores of impurities. The texture is similar to the masks, its green and feels exactly like a mud mask. After I rinse off my makeup off, I pat my face dry, then take a pump of the cleanser and apply it all over my face. Once it is evenly distributed, I wet the brush of my Clarisonic and start working it over my face. I don’ think it was meant to be used with a Clarisonic but I feel like my face is the cleanest when I use it. Once the Clarisonic’s shuts off (it’s tied to be on for a minute), I start rinsing it off in circular motions. My face feels so clean after I’m done using this cleanser. I literally cannot say enough good things about this product. My face has that great tingly feeling after and just feels so refreshed. I would highly recommend this to people who have oily skin or problem skin.

There are two other formulations as well, THIRSTYCLEANSE for dry skin, YOUTHCLEANSE for anti-aging. I’m sure another one will come out to match the POWERMUD mask as well.

I really like this cleanser, I think it has made a difference in my skin and it actually makes my skin feel so incredibly clean. I would say this cleanser is a huge hit!

Murad Time Release Cleanser

As you know, I struggle with breakouts. I am constantly trying new things and I think I found something that has really made a difference.

Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser

This high tech Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser is amazing. It has encapsulated salicylic acids in it which release over time to give continuous acne care all day. It also has hyaluronic acid and amino acid which bind to the skin and help prevent dryness and antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals. I have been using this face wash for a long time now and it’s almost gone. It took me a while to see the effects of this but I can tell that I have fewer breakouts under the skin as well as on top. I use it with my Clarisonic and you only have to use a little bit, about a dime sized drop. I can really feel the cleaning effects, it leaves my face with a clean feeling that I can’t really describe, but it is kind of tingly in a good way. I will definitely repurchase this once I run out, it has changed my skin!

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser Review

Clarins One-Step Gentle Exfoliating Facial Cleanser

I really like scrubby face washes to really get the dead skin off my face to create a smooth surface for makeup. This Clarins one is no exception. I am not very familiar with the Clarins brand but from what I have read and researched, they all seem like amazing products. This scrub was an impulse purchase in the check out line at Sephora from this summer. It is almost gone now and I waited so long to review it because I was kind of unsure of how I felt about it. One of the best features of this scrub is how grainy it is. This may not be for those with sensitive skin but I don’t find that it irritates my skin at all. Sometimes, exfoliators can leave my skin feeling tight after I wash it but this one doesn’t, and I was pleasntly surprised when I realized that I didn’t feel like I needed a moisturizer ASAP after washing. The only downside is that the smell reminds me of citrus bathroom cleaner. Not that it is a bad thing, it does smell really clean, but it is kind of weird to smell like I’m cleaning a bathroom when I’m really just washing my face. Will I repurchase it? Probably not. There are so many other exfoliators I want to try and this didn’t blow my mind enough to warrant a repurchase.
