Biore Baking Soda Cleansing Scrub (127g)
Claims:
• use 2-3 times a week
• cleans 2.5x better than basic cleansing
Ingredients:
Sodium Bicarbonate: main ingredient. gently exfoliates skin & deep cleanses pores
Citric Acid: balances out pH, promotes skin regrowth
Menthol: potential irritant
My Verdict:
• flip top cap is convenient for dispensing
• maximum quarter-size of the powder is needed
• make sure to mix with water in your palm before applying to face
• more water added softens cleansing action
• face feels squeaky clean and dry
• it is key to moisturize after since this is an exfoliator
Final Thoughts for Both Products:
Surprisingly, both of the products have the same pleasant smell that remind me of one of my first Biore products that was a holy grail of mine: the Steam-Activated Green Tea cleanser! I had expected a harsh grainy smell, instead. The conveniently-packaged dispensing products create instant results by fizzing up in deeply cleaning out pores of makeup & dirt and leaving a matte skin texture. It's the ultimate cleanse for days that I've felt I've been sweating a lot, exposed to the outdoors. I believe this product will be more ideal for summer use. Even though baking soda in itself has a more basic pH=9, it is balanced out by the citric acid in the products. The cleansing scrub is a harsher exfoliator in comparison so I suggest using less than the recommended quarter-size with more water. Also, with baking soda being multi-purpose and skin-care friendly, I can imagine myself using this for acne spot treatments, body odour, and stained nails/enamel in emergency scenarios.
