Reddit reviews Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel, 5 Ounce

It's not too hard to find a face wash that isn't full of plastic! However if you are interested, try to aim for a PH of 5.5 as this is about the same PH as skin. It'll stop that drying feeling, especially if it doesn't have alcohol.

You could also look up your brand on http://www.cosdna.com/, it reviews the ingredients and you can check of any are damaging or causing any break outs :)

So, if you're actually interested in finding good face wash, thats my suggestion. It seems that you live in the UK so I took the liberty of finding some good face washes that are good for your skin :)

Depending of course, on your skin type, of course.
Simple Refreshing Facial Wash looks good:

Its review http://www.cosdna.com/eng/cosmetic_f365243463.html looks fairly mild, and its PH is 5.5 (as of what I can find, they may have a new bottle out so if that is the case you may need to check it).

I'm being facetious perhaps, but your skin is a very large organ and deserves some care. Washing it, sun cream daily and moisturiser is the least you can do to help it protect you from the environment.

Hey guys!

So, I recently self diagnosed myself with fungal acne, and I’m a little overwhelmed about it. As of now, I’m trying to just switch my routine to fungal acne safe products, and I’ve already seen a HUGE improvement!

My Routine:

AM:
-rinse with water
-Clean and clear morning burst hydrating gel moisturizer
-Makeup: Currently, I’m using smashbox color correcting primer and I might actually die if I have to switch back to a heavy primer... the 2 months I’ve been using this for have been a dream. Then, Maybelline age rewind concealer, and a powder foundation.




PM:
-remove makeup with mineral oil
-OCM with mineral oil
-cleanse with Simple refreshing gel.
-TOS azelaic acid. (Every 3 days or so)





Ultimately, I have these questions:.
-is TOS azelaic acid safe for fungal acne?
-if not, what other azelaic acid products do you recommend? also, please keep in mind that I wish to avoid fatty alcohols for now. I used to be 100% certain that they were the cause of my breakouts, now I’m not entirely sure, but I’m not ready to experiment with them yet
-I need a new sunscreen, and I’m so angry about it. Do you guys have any recommendations for a light, chemical/combo, sunscreen that works well with fungal acne?
-makeup that works well with fungal acne? Is my primer okay?
-literally any help is appreciated!





Thanks you guys!!!

Hi there guys newbie here, I read the guides and could use help making a simple routine.

Skin Type: Combo Oily (dehydrated?) and shade is closest to 'neutral tan' in this pic | Country/Climate I'm in: SoCal | Top Skin Concern: making it less oily

Current Routine/Products I'm Using: I use this Simple facial wash while I'm taking a shower, and CeraVe moisturing cream afterwards. Thats pretty much it. After reading the guides I'm thinking of making the following routine.

AM

• Oil Based Cleanser- Kose Softymo Speedy Cleansing Oil
  
  
• Low pH water-based cleanser -Hada Labo Rohto Gokujyn Hyaluronic Acid Cleansing Foam
  
  
• Moisturizer - The CeraVe previously mentioned, this is ok right, or should I get a different moisturizer?
  
  
• Sun Screen - Biore Sarasara UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence Sunscreen SPF50+ PA+++
  
  PM I'm not really sure what I should use here besides moisturizer, I'm a guy, so I have no makeup to remove.
  
  
• The Simple face wash I already use, because I still have more than half of it left.
  
  
• The CeraVe moisturizer.
  
  
  Would a toner be worth it? I'm thinking of adding the Hada Labo Super Gokujyun Hyaluronic Acid Lotion. And this would go in between the 2nd cleanser and moisturizer right?
  
  And just to double check, I would use the cleansers while taking a shower, then toner and moisturizer after getting out, and waiting a bit before I use the sunscreen right?
  
  Anything you guys would add or remove, or just general comments? I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible so if there are any reduncies I'd be happy to take them out.
  
  Edit: buying these products off amazon is safe right, the all seem to be highly rated so I don't think there would be fakes

BACKGROUND: I'm new to the world of skin care. I've never had a serious skin care routine before other than applying some acne creams a few years back when my acne was pretty bad. Now my skin is not terrible, but at age 20 I've had it with any sort of acne and want clear skin.

My skin is oily. I don't know if its very oily or fairly oily because I don't know what really oily skin is like or what a fairly oily skin is like. If I had to make a guess I'd say fairly or decently oily...sorry if that's vague.

This is what my skin looks like on an average day.

[This] (http://imgur.com/a/fGqbn) is what my skin looks like when it breaks out just a bit.

I'm showing you these because I read the FAQ and Wiki and I've narrowed my choices for cleansers, exfoliants, and moisturizers but I'm not sure which one to buy. For each category, this is what I've narrowed it down to.

CLEANSERS

• CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
  
  
• Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel
  
  
• Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser
  
  
• Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
  
  EXFOLIANTS
  
  
• Stridex Daily Care Acne Pads with Salicylic Acid, Maximum Strength
  
  
• Neutragena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion
  
  
• Olay Age Defying Classic Night Face Cream
  
  MOISTURIZERS
  
  
• CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM SPF 30
  
  
• Olay Complete Defence Daily UV Moisturising Lotion SPF 30+
  
  
• Paula's Choice Clear Ultra-Light Daily Fluid SPF 30+
  
  
• Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion SPF 30
  
  
  MY QUESTION: Are they all sort of the same? Based on what I told you about my skin, which product from each category should I get? Should I get something that's not on the list? This list is based on the Recommended Routine, so maybe there's something that's not on it that you think would work better. Any help would be really appreciated. I'm trying to avoid having to go through too much trial and error since as a college student I'm slightly broke, so I'm trying to make an informed purchase. Also, sunscreen is highly recommended if you exfoliate, but if the moisturizer has SPF does that mean I don't need to buy sunscreen? Thank you guys in advance.

Hmm I want this! Does it have a brand name? I am in the US also.

Edit: is this it? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CHHK2B6?pc_redir=1409322237&robot_redir=1

Hello everyone, im pretty new to this subreddit! I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what is the best way to clear up my skin.

Heres what the acne looks like.


Im a 22/M and I have oily skin. I went ahead and bought this facial cleanser and this moisturizer.



I live in a really humid region. (Florida)



I wash my face with hot water and rinse with cold in the morning and right before bed and apply moisturizer right after.

I should note that I do exercise regularly and maintain a good diet. My skin normally doesnt breakout like this either and I didnt really have much of a "regiment" before.


I dont know if my routine is working or not, as I STILL get acne(white heads) popping up I should also note that I dont know if my moisturizer is too strong or if my skin is too oily for moisturizer (i dont know if thats a thing) but my skin allllllways feels OK right when i moisturize but then after maybe one or two hours, my skin starts feeling oily again.


any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Simple gel cleanser might be on your alley

Oil cleansing? Simple do an oil cleanser that's loved here.

They also have a micellar gel wash and another non-foaming gel wash

UK - Superdrug has buy one get one free

Id appreciate some advice on what, if anything, I should do for my skin. About me: 25 yr old male, fortunate to have had minimal skin problems on my face. My skin is slightly oily from the definitions I've read here.

I currently wash my face 1-2x / day with simple refreshing facial wash, and use cerave facial moisturizer after.

What I would like to improve are these things:

1. scar spots - some small scattered dark spots from previous pimples (Im one of those people who pick at scabs rather than leaving them alone...a thing Im working on), and a slightly larger texture kind of scar from a cold sore that spread really far off my lip. The pimple scars are small and not that noticeable, but I see and get focused on the room for improvement.
   
   
2. I sleep on my side and sometimes even slightly face down, so I think Ive noticed more wrinkles around my eyes
   
   
3. there is a good size vein that is very visible under my left eye, that I'd prefer if it were not so noticeable.
   
   After lurking this sub for some time, I tried a recommended weak retinoid product for the last while but I recently ran out of it. Hard to say if I noticed a difference. I ran all this by a girl friend who claims to be a skin care encyclopedia, and she told me a retinoid isn't the right idea, and suggested "The Ordinary Alpha Arbutin 2& + ha".
   
   So I was wondering: do I take it a step stronger with retinoids...or if I should be using a different product altogether...or what?
   
   Thanks in advance

What's the difference between yours and this? All I notice is the extra + and it's a bit cheaper too. I would assume another + is good...

I should note that I bought it on the 5th of May and just got it yesterday. I tried it today and it goes on so easily! Hardly any smell at all and my face feels like there is nothing on it.

Currently use these: cleanser, BHA, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

What would be a good example of an SA leave on product. I'll stay away from the Cremo. How about Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel, or Simple Kind To Skin Foaming Facial Cleanser think either of these would be ok?
