Facial cleanser

    Hi all!

    So, I recently tried Germaine de Capuccinni express facial cleanser, and WOW! I loved it! But alas, times are hard, amd right now I simply can't afford to replace it!

    My beauty therapist advised me that wipes are just so terrible for the skin, so would anyone know of a similar product to the Germaine de Capuccinni? I would have a budget of about €15ish.

    Thanks all!

    I've recently started using Vichy Normaderm. Amazing.

    I had congested skin from using E45 cream constantly for dry patches. This has cleared it up so well.

    I use a Lavera facial wash because that's vegan friendly & natural. Then I use the Normaderm toner across my forehead and finally finish off with the normaderm mosituriser. In the shower I use the Normaderm scrub, but only once a week.

    boom!

    Brilliant, thanks!

    But, would there be anything like an all in one kind of dealy? Or like a cleanser and toner in one?

    There probably is but I'm not best placed to recommend any unfortunately. I find the separate ones do a much better job as they're targeted to a specific issue / area. It's like using a shampoo & conditioner in one. WTF!

    Also, stay away from face wipes. Don't remove half as much grime as they say they do. Not worth a damn really.

    Oh, I know, I would never use a 2 in 1 shampoo conditioner! I just find it so hard to get into a proper routine with my face, thats why I like things that are quick, easy, and good for my skin! :) Thanks for the advice tho, I'll have a look in the shop to see if they have it!

    I'm the exact same: everything has to be quick and easy or I get bored with the routine quickly. However, a good skincare routine, and I've learned the hard way, is essential and if it takes a few minutes longer in the morning / evening then it's worth it.

    Also, I should add that the Vichy toner only cost me a euro, a few weeks ago. That's enough to get even the laziest of people, i.e. ME, using it!!

    I went looking for that Vichy Normaderm... there's one that says it's a 3 in 1 or something..is that it? I probably should have mentioned also that I'm 25, and have normal to slightly combination skin.

    That's the one: it's a 3 in 1 toner rather than a 3 in 1 product, if you get me! I have the same skin as you: mostly normal with slightly oily forehead.

    Best of luck.
