I have been wanting to do this review for a while, but I really wanted to see the long term effects on my skin first. This is what the product description on the Mark website states:
If you're looking for your comfort zone try this soothing, soap-free cleanser that treats delicate skin right with a nourishing milk complex, plus bananaand oat milk protein to help calm, comfort and nurture skin’s best assets.
6.7 fl. oz.
oil-free • non-comedogenic • fragrance-free
When I first used this, even though it says fragrance-free, I was expecting some banana smell. True to the statement, there is no banana smell! This is good for people who are sensitive to fragrances. So what does it smell like? It does smell like something, kinda like if you smell oatmeal before you eat it. But it is not a strong smell. I have been using this for a couple weeks in the morning and I find it the perfect gentle cleanser to remove oils that have built up on your skin overnight. Also, I have a really annoying dry red patch on my face that I can't get rid of. This cleanser hasn't irritated it and it does feel moisturized after use. What I like to do is apply the cleanser on my face, leave it on while I wash the rest of my body and then rinse. I feel like this gives my skin time to soak in the banana and milk protein. At night I use Olay foaming cleanser for sensitive skin, which I will never stop using because I find it gentle, yet effective in removing all my makeup. Comparing this cleanser to my Olay cleanser, they are about the same consistency, which is very nice in my opinion. It is creamy but it suds up nicely. The Olay foaming face wash foams up a little more, which i feel is nicer to remove makeup. But I really do like the Mark. cleanser for the mornings to keep my skin soft and oil free. I plan on ordering the full size when I can. Let me know what you think about it!

I'm using that cleanser too but I'm using the exfoliating beads with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm still not sure on how I feel about this product because I have oily skin, and i dont see a difference compared to my normal cleanser.
however, it does leave my face soft and smooth for a while, until i get oily again, in like 3-4 hrs.
Im still going to use this cleanser everyday until I run out.
Yes, I don't think it is meant to be a really powerful cleanser. I feel like it is very gentle and perfect for my morning cleanser, but I live in CT, so it doesn't get too hot here (minus this week, its like 100). I think there's a deep cleaning cleanser available too. I enjoy those beads, I use them once a week.
