Payot Mousse Purifiante Anti-Bacterial Cleansing Gel Tried and Tested
I tried this foaming cleanser on my oily, sensitive, problem skin during a
breakout.
This cleansing gel contains triclosan. Exactly what the doctor advised
me to look out for in a cleanser to control my acne. Way back when I had
perpetually pimply skin, I went to see a doctor who was reknown for clearing bad
cases of acne permanently. Besides her treatment, which was basically a facial,
done in a clinic, she would prescribe cleansers and creams she mixed herself. As
I mentioned that her skin care products were too expensive for me to use long
term, she advised me to look for cleansers with Triclosan, as that was the key
ingredient she used to control the acne.
Payot Mousse Purifiante Anti-Bacterial Cleansing Gel contains this Triclosan.
Other active ingredients in Payot Mousse Purifiante Anti-Bacterial
Cleansing Gel include birch bark extract and salicylic acid.
Note that this cleanser contains sodium laureth sulfate. There is a lot of
controversy about this chemical. Read Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
for the details.
Using Payot Mousse Purifiante Anti-Bacterial Cleansing Gel
Payot - Mousse Nettoyante - 200ml/6.7oz
This pink gel has a soft sweet floral scent with herbal notes. Very pleasant.
It lathers well. The lather is rich and luxurious. A little goes a long way.
It feels good on my skin. Unlike some cleansers I tried, this does not
irritate my skin at all. It is not too drying, though it leaves skin really
clean. The best part was, it reduced my pimples dramatically. I would say this
cleanser played a part in clearing my skin this time around.
For example, during my period, I got a pus filled pimple. I washed my face
thrice a day with Payot Mousse Purifiante Anti-Bacterial Cleansing Gel and the
pimple subsided in a day.
I've been using it for 2 weeks already and my skin has improved
Verdict
I would definitely want to keep some at hand when I have an acne breakout. It
really works against pimples.
