I think most of us know Quinoa as a superfood but do you know it can be used in skincare too? Maybe it’s not as popular as Centella or Tea Tree but Quinoa can be a good ingredient to make our skin healthy. Just like the Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, Sui sui also sent me with my very first Quinoa-based product: AXIS-Y Quinoa One-Step Balance Gel Cleanser.
AXIS-Y Quinoa One-Step Balance Gel Cleanser
This gentle cleanser removes makeup and impurities from face. It has a low pH level of 5.5 which maintains the skin’s protective barrier.
Key Ingredients:
- Quinoa - boosts collagen production to make skin smooth
- Calendula - speeds up healing
- Centella Asiatica - calms inflammation and stimulates new cell growth
- Green Tea - protects skin from UV damage
- Sweet Almond Oil - shields skin from oxidative stress
- Humulus Lupulus - has anti-inflammatory benefits
- Holy Basil - prevents skin irritation
The product’s natural ingredients also went through a fermentation process with Lactobacillus to boost their functions.
π Observation: The 180 ml gel cleanser is contained in a green pump bottle. Just like the serum, it also has a cap cover to avoid spilling. The pump though does not dispense a lot so I need to press it up to 3 times to get my desired amount. It has a refreshing scent which is not overpowering. When lathered with water, the cleanser creates a thin foam which makes it easy to spread all over the face.
✅ It's good because...
- it removes makeup (bb, eye makeup & mascara). I think this will vary with the kind of makeup used.
- it doesn’t sting my eyes but it makes them red when I wash my face with eyes opened (sorry if it sounds weird π ).
- it doesn’t leave my skin feeling tight or dry.
- I use it as a body wash too. π
❗️ Even better if... none!
✨I still encourage double cleansing but if you want a cleanser that is powerful enough to take both dirt and makeup off, then this one is for you. It doesn’t have any glowing effect on my face but it does a very good job in cleansing that I even use it for my body. I like that it’s a straightforward product which will save you time, energy and money. (Check out my Instagram review).
