Simple Kind Defence +ANTI-BAC Cleansing Face Wash, 150ml

Product Information

For some, a flare-up may cause itchiness. For others, it could be a breakout, stinging or even a burning sensation. An impaired barrier function (the skin’s protective layer) is the main reason behind sensitivity, which can be caused by things such as genetics, environment and lifestyle (using harsh skincare, for example). If you’ve got eczema or rosacea, you may need to take extra care to ensure that you’re using a product that provides a more gentle cleanse and doesn’t strip skin of valuable oil and moisture.

If you’re prone to acne, you may have tried a few different remedies and methods to cleanse your skin, including face washes. After cleansing, moisturizing with a gentle, oil-free moisturizer to reduce peeling and irritation from anti-acne active ingredients in your cleansers and treatments can help manage acne. This cleanser helps kill acne-causing bacteria and is comedolytic, meaning it unclogs pores,” Shainhouse says. “Similarly, it also has anti-inflammatory properties, which helps reduce redness.” Finally, try to avoid cleansers that have exfoliating acids in them like glycolic, lactic and salicylic acids as they can aggravate sensitivity.To do just that, she advises investing in this hormonal acne-friendly cleanser, as it uses salicylic acid as an active ingredient to keep greasiness to a minimum. Because adult acne often goes hand-in-hand with hormonal acne (considered one and the same), this cleanser may also benefit people with adult acne. The pH level of your skin care products can also negatively impact your skin, so look for products that help you maintain your skin’s pH. If you have eczema, a skin condition that causes the skin to become dry and inflamed, Mokaya stresses the importance of finding a face wash that’s both hydrating and gentle. One of the first recommendations for clearing up acne is using a face wash. Active ingredients commonly found in face washes for acne include:

AHAs are primarily used to exfoliate and remove dead skin that clogs pores. However, they can also help to correct discoloration and promote collagen production,” she says. In animal studies, adverse reproductive effects were only observed in much larger amounts, much more than what’s used in topical skin care products, according to the review. Acne face washes can be used once or twice daily. Wash your face in the morning to cleanse away any oil that built up overnight, and wash your face in the evening to get rid of dirt, debris, and makeup that accumulated throughout the day. There aren’t any human studies done (as there are ethical concerns with testing ingredients on pregnant people), but a 2011 research review notes glycolic acid is considered safe during pregnancy because only a small amount is absorbed systemically.As key as a face wash is to any skin care regimen, it’s a given that there are tons of different acne face washes available to buy. This makes this brightening cleanser more than helpful to reduce the appearance of acne scars, as it contains vitamin C and licorice extract, which reduce redness, inflammation, and hyperpigmentation.
