Gentle clean products!
My favorites are Zen and BioClarity Cleanse! They’re both fungal acne friendly — (not every product is). I’m African American with mocha brown skin, hyperpigment easily and never thought a calming serum would be of any use. Thanks to the pandemic I got to spend an unhealthy amount of time looking at my skin and noticed that when I breakout I do, in fact, have redness with inflammation! I never noticed before. Let me tell you, I layer those puppies up with Zen and it GREATLY decreases the redness therefore reducing the possibility of hyperpigmentation. My dark marks normally take 3+ months to fade. Zen (with a good azelaic acid) cuts that time in half. Easy. Even if I forget to put Azelaic acid on, Zen truly reduces the inflammation in real time. I love it. I actually bought Restore FloraLux this time and I kind of regret it. I’ll be sticking with Zen! The Cleanse can be a bit stripping if used everyday (I have combo skin). I just started using the Jelly cleanser. I like it, I don’t find it to be that great at removing a full face of makeup + sunscreen. I did three passes with it (gentle pressured circular motions) and still had residual makeup etc left. If I do an oil cleanse or a light pass of The Cleanse cleanser FIRST, the jelly works better. I do like it for a morning cleanse sometimes, but I only use it one time a day. I haven’t figured out the best use of the Restore Floralux. I don’t find it plays well over or under other serums. It can pill a bit as well. Overall, I love what the brand does! I’ll be a customer for a long time yet :)
