mixsoon Mild & Gentle Cleansing Double Step Cleansing Duo Set Review

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

mixsoon Mild & Gentle Cleansing Double Step Cleansing Duo Set is a wonderful cleansing duo that is formulated for all types of skin. This K-Beauty brand really understands how to create a very satisfying double cleanse, and as someone who always uses a cleansing oil paired with a lathering cleanser, I truly appreciate the efficacy of this pair, and I am thrilled to report that it is very kind and gentle on my skin. This is especially important for me since I use retinol-based products at night and do not want to use any products that are stripping or drying. 

According to mixsoon,

The Double Step Cleansing Duo Set is your ultimate skincare solution for a clean, hydrated, and balanced complexion. Begin your routine with the Bean Cleansing Oil, a nourishing blend of soybean oil, jojoba oil, and sunflower oil that gently dissolves makeup, sunscreen, and impurities while replenishing the skin's natural moisture. Follow up with the Centella Cleansing Foam, enriched with Centella Asiatica Extract to calm irritation and provide deep hydration. This foam cleanser helps to soothe sensitive skin while removing any remaining impurities without drying out the skin. Together, these two products work in harmony to cleanse, hydrate, and protect, leaving your skin feeling soft, refreshed, and ready for the next steps in your skincare routine. Perfect for all skin types, especially sensitive and dry skin, the Double Step Cleansing Duo Set ensures your skin stays clean, nourished, and balanced throughout the day.

Directions: Bean Cleansing Oil: Dispense 2-3 pumps onto dry hands and apply to a dry face, gently massaging it into your skin. Focus on areas that feel more contaminated, like nose, chin , and forehead.
Add a small amount of water to emulsify the oil. Massage for a little longer and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow up with a foam cleanser to complete your double cleansing routine.

Centella Cleansing Foam: Dispense an appropriate amount into your palms and lather into the foam. Gently massage onto your face, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.
mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil is lightweight cleansing oil that turns into a milky and emollient emulsion when you add water. It is lightweight, has a light herbal aroma and it removes every bit of makeup, sunscreen and dirt before using mixsoon Centella Cleansing Foam. This cleansing oil rinses clean with no greasy residue, and it leaves skin soft and smooth.

According to mixsoon,

Discover the refreshing power of the mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil, a lightweight yet deeply effective formula that removes makeup, sunscreen, and impurities without leaving any greasy residue. Enriched with patented fermented soybean extract, it nourishes, soothes, and supports a healthy skin barrier, while fermented pomegranate, barley, and pear deliver antioxidants and hydration for soft, balanced, refreshed skin. Formulated with plant-derived oils such as soybean, jojoba, and sunflower seed oil, it gently dissolves even waterproof makeup while minimizing irritation, leaving skin moisturized and comfortable without tightness or dryness. Suitable for all skin types.

Perfect for:
• Everyday use
• Removing makeup and sunscreen
• All skin types

Directions: Dispense 2-3 pumps onto dry hands and apply to a dry face, gently massaging it into your skin. Focus on areas that feel more contaminated, like nose, chin , and forehead. Add a small amount of water to emulsify the oil. Massage for a little longer and rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow up with a foam cleanser to complete your double cleansing routine.

mixsoon Centella Cleansing Foam is very effective cleanser– with a very satisfying lather– and it is gentle and refreshing to use. After the double cleanse, my skin is left soft, smooth, supple and lightly hydrated. Furthermore, it neither strips, nor dries out my skin, but leaves it comfortable and clean. Unlike the Bean Cleansing Oil, I do not detect any scent in this cleanser.

According to mixsoon,

Mixsoon’s Centella Cleansing Foam is a gentle yet effective cleanser that refreshes and soothes skin with the calming power of Centella Asiatica, sourced locally from Jeju. Infused with natural ingredients, it deeply removes impurities, excess oil, and makeup without stripping the skin, leaving it soft, hydrated, and balanced. The pH 4~5 formula helps maintain a healthy skin barrier while providing a thorough cleanse, and the key ingredient Centella Asiatica is known for its soothing and healing properties, calming redness, irritation, and inflammation. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin, it delivers a refreshing cleanse without the harsh effects typical of other foaming cleansers.

Perfect for:
• Everyday use
• Gentle cleansing of face and makeup
• All skin types

Directions: Dispense an appropriate amount into your palms and lather into the foam. Gently massage onto your face, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry with a soft towel.

Precautions: If irritation occurs, rinse off, cease use, and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. Patch testing prior to use is advised. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Tested safe for eye area makeup removal.

Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel Review

 
Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Peter Thomas Roth Anti-Aging Cleansing Gel is an exfoliating Glycolic and Salicylic Acids gel cleanser that effectively removes dead skin cells, cleans the skin, dissolves makeup and leaves skin deeply cleansed, soft, smooth and radiant without stripping or drying out the skin. This cleanser forms a satisfying lather and it has a light citrus aroma that is neither long-lasting, nor overpowering. For my normal to combination skin, I can use this cleanser once a day and it doesn't dry out my skin or leave it uncomfortable in any way. It is formulated for all types of skin, but people with dryer skin types will want to use it less frequently than people with oilier skin. Your usage will depend upon your skin type, and your need for exfoliation.

According to Peter Thomas Roth,

Luxurious, anti-aging facial cleansing gel provides an exhilarating, peachy clean freshness to help produce a beautiful, fresh, youthful-looking complexion. An advanced exfoliating and cleansing action helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging. Ideal for all skin types, including dry, sun-damaged and normal (except sensitive skin). Effectively cleanses, dissolves makeup, emulsifies oil and improves skin texture as it gently helps chemically exfoliate the skin's surface for a brighter looking complexion. Glycolic and Salicylic Acids and brightening botanicals help exfoliate and clarify the skin, leaving it ultra clean, refined and revitalized.

Sunburn Alert: This product contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

Directions: Combination, oily and acne prone skin, use once or twice daily. Normal, dry and sun damaged skin, use two to three times a week at first, increasing usage if well-tolerated. Apply a small amount of cleansing gel over moistened skin with the fingertips. Work into a rich, foamy lather and massage gently for one minute. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat dry. Follow with PTR treatment product, moisturizer and/or sun protection.
Overall Assessment: This is a very effective exfoliating cleanser, and I am surprised by the extent to which my skin is left so soft and smooth!
