Released all the way back in 1999, the Soy Face Cleanser was the first skincare product from
Fresh. So in celebration of its upcoming 20th anniversary, Fresh has partnered up with fashion illustrator Blair Breitenstein to create a special, jumbo-sized
Limited Edition Soy Face Cleanser ($52 CAD for 200ml) inspired by the original packaging. Believe it or not, despite being a die-hard Fresh fan, I've actually never tried this cleanser up until a couple weeks ago. So today I want to share with you my review. To read on, click.......
Housed in a large 200ml squeeze bottle, the Limited Edition Soy Face Cleanser is adorned with a chic illustration inspired by the original 1999 packaging (you can see a little peek of it in the image above in the far right side). Made with soybean oil, aloe juice, cucumber extract, and amino-acid rich soy proteins, the cleanser uses coco-glucoside as a gentle, non-sensitizing foaming agent instead of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). The formulation is quite thin and runny but it spreads easily to provide a soft, light lather.
The cleanser has a light cucumber scent similar to that of many other Fresh products and it is very gentle and soothing on the skin. The formulation will remove all face makeup but I still pre-cleanse to ensure that all my eye makeup gets completely removed. After rinsing, my skin feels supple and fresh. There's no sensitivity or tightness because the formulation is very hydrating. Overall, this is an excellent everyday gel cleanser. The formulation reminds me a lot of the
Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser but it still stands out as one of the most gentle and pleasant face washes I've tried to date. So whether you have sensitive, dry, oily, or normal skin, the Soy Face Cleanser will make a great staple in your skincare routine.
