If there’s one item I’m faithful to, it’s to my face wash. I know, strange. But I’ve yet to find a worthy substitute to what I’d probably term my HG (holy grail) face wash, which is unfortunately by Vichy. Unfortunately, because I can’t get it locally anymore. While I do still keep bottles of it on standby, I thought I’d try something new after finishing my last bottle.
I decided to give the new Hada Labo Deep Clean & Anti-Acne Face Wash aka Deep Clean & Blemish Control Face Wash a go. If you’ve been trawling the pharmacies lately, you will have noticed that Hada Labo has introduced 3 new face washes. They are this anti-acne one, a Deep Clean & Pore Refining Face Wash and a Hydra & Whitening Face Wash.
I picked this, because I thought it was the closest in function to the Vichy Normaderm Purifying Cleansing Gel. I’m not so fussed about the acne bit because sporadic breakouts do happen, but it’s not a primary concern of mine anymore. However, I do like having salicylic acid in my face wash because it keeps my skin clear and clean and also spot free. Well, considering that I’ve been using this one nightly for a couple of months now, I suppose it’s working, right? 😛
Well, it is, but not without a few gripes.
