If you remember a couple months back, I bought the Sephora Favorites Skin Cleanse Vol. 2 kit (view post here) and have used majority of the products at least once. The first one I'm going to review is the First Aid Beauty Skin Rescue Deep Cleanser with Red Clay ($24, 4.7 oz). Its the one product I have thoroughly used up as of now.
It is a foaming gel cleanser that is suppose to detoxify, cleanse and unclog pores. It claims to control outbreaks and reduce sebum production while making pores appear instantly smaller.
The cleanser is red, obviously due to the red clay, and has a little bit of an iridescent effect. It removed makeup, but I wouldn't say it thoroughly removed it. I recommend using a makeup remover prior to cleansing your face, regardless of the cleanser you use.
As far as pores go, I've never really encountered a product that makes them instantly appear smaller. To me, my pores will always be the same size, no matter what I do to it. Since I mostly have hormonal acne, nothing really helps, so the cleanser probably did help prevent breakouts from dirt and makeup, but it didn't treat acne, which is something I like to have in a cleanser.
Overall, this cleanser is good, but I would not run out to repurchase. To be quite honest, I actually did consider repurchasing it, but decided on the Boscia Clear Complexion Cleanser instead.
I recently purchased the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream and I love love love it! So I started looking at what else they have, and saw this! However, I need something that treats acne, so I'm glad you mentioned that. I'm glad I didn't purchase it after all!
ReplyDeleteI heard the Repair Cream is really good!
DeleteI tried the mask version and I wasn't impressed. The scent and texture was off putting and the results weren't amaaazing! Definitely would skip on the Red Clay line for my skincare needs!

I wanted to try it, but if you are saying it wasn't amazing, then I won't try it out either!
DeleteThanks for the helpful review! Sounds like it's not quite worth the splurge, but the shimmery effect definitely looks unique :)

Not worth the splurge for me, but yea that aspect is pretty neat!
DeleteThanks for the review - I've been looking at purchasing some FAB skin cleanser but wasn't sure which one I would pick.

Possibly try the FAB Face Cleanser, the one in the blue packaging, it might be a better one!
