The Product
Recently I was offered the chance to try out a new beauty line coming to Shoppers Drug Marts across Canada called Dermaglow. Like Clinique, Dermaglow takes the scientific route, emphasizing its scientific methodologies and approach to skincare. Since I was seeking out a new facial cleanser, I opted to give the Essentials line Foaming Cleanser for a try.
The Guts
Designed to cleanse your skin of dirt, makeup, oil and sunscreen, without harsh cleansing agents, this foaming cleanser contains all natural soothing cleansing agents like rose water, horse chestnut, camomile and kiwi oil. It also contains no fragrances, parabens, and dyes to ensure that even the most sensitive of skins can handle it.
Price & Packaging
I received the full-size bottle and was impressed with its large size, which should allow you to keep this cleanser for at least a couple months. I was a little skeptical of its pump system, as I am with all pumps, but when I used the product I understood why a pump was necessary.
Effectiveness
This has got to be the most unusual cleanser I've ever tried and I've tried quite a few! While most foaming cleansers come out as a gel that turns to foam, the Dermaglow foaming cleanser came out as... foam. Just foam. How the heck does one wash their face with foam?? Surprisingly well! Now, you'll have to take several pumps to cover your face, and don't expect the foam to expand across your face like most foaming cleansers, because it won't, but it does seem to work. Once on your skin, the foam feels like a milk cleanser; it has a very thin consistency, but it does wash off all my makeup easily and if used in conjunction with a good toner, works very well.
Buy or Ditch?
Kinda on the fence with this one. It does work, but I can't say I'm a fan of the literal foam texture. I'm afraid I'll have to say ditch on this one.
Final Verdict: B

good and honest review. i like reading on skin care. i'm very skeptical to try skincare since my face is so sensitive.
I just started using a foam cleanser too! In a month or so, I'll do a vid on my "new" skincare and let you know how to like it :) I've never heard of that brand, but now I'm interested in looking into it. Thanks for sharing!

Good review. I'm a big fan of clinique's foaming cleanser. x hivenn
sounds interesting.
Actually, Dermaglow has been at shoppers for a couple of years now-I use it! The ladies who work at the beauty boutique keep telling me it's the best cleanser for sensitive skin and the one I use is supposed to help with redness as well. I really like that it isn't drying or too harsh, but I have to follow up with toner on "tougher" areas like my nose, and it doesn't remove makeup at all.
But as a morning cleaner, I really like it because I never have to worry about ending up with dry spots before I put my makeup on.
