Ahhh Oskia... Pure nutritional skincare brand and I have tried both of their cleansers yet neither of them have disappointed me! I had used up the Perfect Cleanser by Oskia which is my all time favourite balm cleanser. I'll link it here for you if you haven't read already. It is honestly a good one, trust me! But today is not about the Perfect Cleanser, I think I just find something as good if not better. Meet: Renaissance Cleansing Gel by Oskia.
New Makeup New Look
I have been wanting to try this in such a long time especially after my favourite beauty gurus Anna from viviannadoesmakeup and Amelia Liana talked about how much they loved it. I trust their recommendations 100% especially when it comes to skincare cuz these 2 ladies know what they are talking about! I got mine from beautybay.com but you can also purchase from cultbeauty.co.uk or uk.spacenk.com.
I'm gonna jump straight to my verdict here: I love this! I love how it smells, how it works, how it feels and how it looks, everything about it. I'm falling head over heels with this stuff. It just made it to my top 2 favourite cleansers of all time, I even stopped using my Emma Hardie cleanser which is my HG. Yeah that's right I love it that much! But Emma Hardie is the first balm cleanser I've ever purchased and loved so it always has a specially place in my heart.
The Renaissance cleansing gel by Oskia contains so many wonderful natural skincare ingredients which are good for our skin such as:
- Lactobacillus/Cucurbita Pepo Ferment Extract (Pumpkin Enzymes) which removes dull skin cells without irritation.
- Vitamin A Palmitate which is good for sun damage and perfect for dry and mature skin
- Vitamin C & E that are good for skin pigmentation and protects the skin against free radical and environmental damage.
- Starflower Oil: a powerful source of gamma-linolenic-acid
- Omega 6, Vitamins B2 & C and Magnesium which help improve elasticity and firmness while nourishing the skin.
- MSM: the most bio-available form of sulphur, helps soothe the skin.
This cleanser is also free from artificial fragrances, colourants, silicones, parabens, sulphates, and proplylene glycol etc which is another reason why I love Oskia skincare products. Just feel so safe to use!
FYI don't be fooled by the name because it is not a gel formulated cleanser, it is an oil based cleanser although it does look like a gel. It feels soft, so easy to spread unlike the Perfect Cleanser which is quite thick. It smells divine but I can't quite put my fingers on what it really smells like, however I do know that it doesn't smell strong at all, very mild and pleasant.
(If you add water, it'll turn into a milky lotion like all balm/oil cleansers do)
I use it twice a day. It kinda feels like I am in a luxury SPA getting a facial or something while I'm putting this on, feels so good. It comes out sort of pinky coral coloured and I just smooth this all over my face, really massage it into my skin and take it off with a muslin cloth or with my Foreo Luna Cleansing Device. The most I like about this cleanser is how my skin looks and feels after I take it off. It just glows, glows and glows, feels super soft and fresh. Honestly I have never seen my face glow that much with any other cleansers.
Another interesting part of this cleanser is the enzymes. It cleans and exfoliates the skin at the same time but very mildly and gently, perfect for someone who has sensitive skin that cannot tolerant fruit acids.
I would recommend this cleanser to anyone. This would make such a great Christmas gift to your loved ones. The only thing I am not too keen on is the packaging. It's kinda bulky and takes up space in my bag when I travel. But I can live with it because the product is that good. I will keep repurchasing till the day I die. I might be over exaggerated there but you get what I mean. I love it! love it, love it!
That's it guys, hope this is somewhat helpful to you. Seriously try it and you'll know what I'm talking about. Hope everyone is having a great christmas and wishing you a very happy 2015! xoxo
