This smells so gooooooood!
Hello Darlings,
Ahhhh I'm super happy! Thanks to the wonderful World Wide Web, I was able to find a cruelty-free multi-purpose cleansing cream that is made in the USA as well! Delight! I like Pond's and Noxzema, but they are both tested on animals. I was a student assistant in an animal research lab in college... I barely lasted 3 days! I'm trying to switch to cruelty products as much as possible.
I purchased this at Sally Beauty for $5.49. What a barg-barg. It's quite the value as well - 15 oz of product! Omgeeee I love the sweet almond scent! It's really light and you don't even notice it after awhile (doesn't really linger for those with sensitive noses like moi!) Although it's labelled as massage cream, under the usage tips on the Sally Beauty website it states this can be used as an all-purpose cleansing cream. Queen Helene also makes the Triple Whipped Cleansing Cream, but I'm on the fence about the jasmine scent.
This is really thick and emollient. The texture is lovely but heavy. You must use a tissue or warm wash cloth to remove it. That's the drawback. I have always used rinse-off cold creams. I will get use to it because the scent is heavenly and just makes you smile and go "ahhhhhh" each time you take a whiff:)
So I'm not gonna lie. I got tempted by a cold cream at the Dollar Tree. This time trying to save a few dollars was NOT worth it. I applied said cold cream. The texture seemed really nice. I then wiped it off with a cotton pad. Rinsed. It rinsed super clean! I was amazed. It seemed promising. I did feel a bit of an tingle but I thought it would go away. Within half an hour my face was turning very warm, itchy, and red! No bueno. I get a bit of a reaction even with Pond's too when I first apply it but it goes away after the final rinse. So I thought it was the same thing. Nope. It proceeded to get so bad I felt like it was a chemical burn. I'm not knocking this product at all. Many online reviews have been positive but it just didn't work for me, sadly.
I ran out and bought this today after reading reviews online. I went home and applied a thick layer of this amazeballs product, removed with cotton pads, then applied a warm wash cloth as the final step to remove the residue. Within a few hours, that uncomfortable burning sensation and warmth subsided. My skin right now feels so soft and calm. My skin feels back to normal. This is the perfect cold cream that no one raves about and everyone should.
So if you love cold cream cleansing but have been unsatisified with the one you are using, run to Sally Beauty and buy a jar of this glorious cream!
