I mentioned this little bea in my Falling
Into Winter | Seasonal Essentials post.
This is actually Anthony
Logistics’ top seller for over ten years running. And I am going to tell
you why; It’s refreshingly creamy, non-greasy, soothing, and above all
exceptionally good at cleansing.
I have to admit that I was a little sceptical of the Anthony Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser.
It has a non-foaming formula which I’m not accustomed to with a gel
formulation. But I knew that glycolic acid works wonders for my skin. If you expect
this product to foam up on your hands, then I guess you need to try other
cleansers. As a matter of fact, the product is similar to gel cleanser. You can
easily rub it on your hands and put it on your face without any drips and
messes.
Well, what can I say? I am in love with this bea - it really leaves my skin feeling soft and very clean, but not
tight and dry (that would be the Aloe Vera!) My apprehension with anything
creamy is that your face can sometimes feel a little sweaty afterwards, and I
was hugely surprised. It cleanses so effectively but leaves absolutely no
residue on my skin – my skin in uber clean and soothed after each use.
The Anthony Logistics
Glycolic Facial Cleanser is formulated without any parabens, sulfates,
synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs and
triclosan.
What’s Glycolic Acid anyhow? Well in layman terms, Glycolic
Acid is a chemical exfoliator that loosens the bonds of surface dead skin
cells, allowing them to be easily swept away. There’s a decent dose of Glycolic
Acid – 4.9%. Because all chemical exfoliants can leave your skin a tad dry, but
soothing and moisturising Aloe Vera helps to calm the skin and freshly exposed
skin cells.
Finally vitamins C and A, two very powerful antioxidants,
help to protect and smooth the skin. Vitamin A helps to protect and rejuvenates
our skin’s natural support structure and and increase elasticity of skin. whilst Vitamin C is a fantastic
brightening agent that also protects, firms skin.
There’s no artificial fragrance but the natural Pomelo and
Mandarin peel extracts give the Anthony
Logistics Glycolic Facial Cleanser a really gorgeous citrus scent that
lifts you as you get to work with it.
I’ve tried many skin-care products from the cheap brand
names whom you can easily find in local drug stores to other expensive brands
from high end beauty stores. This product does wonders for my skin. As you
already know, I have oily skin (sometime too oily!) that is prone to acne. When
I first tried this, the pores on my nose were congested and within two days;
completely clear. This cleanser not only absorbs the dirt and oil on my face,
but it keeps your skin super clean and blemish free.
