Sebamed Clear Face Anti-Bacterial Cleansing Foam Review


Rating: 

Pros
  • Gentle
  • Doesn't over-dry skin
  • Comes with a pump for easy, hygienic application
  • The foam dispensed is dense and glides very smoothly on skin 
  • Antibacterial ingredients to combat skin problems e.g. acne. Best advised to leave foam on skin for 5 minutes before rinsing. This is to allow deeper penetration into pores for more effective cleansing and antibacterial properties.
  • You may like the coconut-y smell
  • Readily available at drugstores

Cons
  • You will need a makeup remover prior to this. I don't think it is strong enough to remove makeup, sunscreen, etc.
  • Troublesome to leave foam on skin for 5 minutes before rinsing
  • You may not like the coconut-y smell
  • Many people have described an after-effect akin to having a "thin film" on the skin after rinsing. You may not like this.

Personal thoughts
  • This has been my go-to facial cleanser for years. I wouldn't say it was the sole contributor that cleared my acne but it definitely does a decent job cleansing without ripping my skin off its moisture. 
  • Has been keeping my skin soft and supple
  • Am too lazy to leave the foam on for 5 minutes before rinsing. I was more disciplined during my acne years but honestly did not notice this step to have a very significant effect.
  • I love the smell!
  • Personally have not noticed the "filmy" after-effect
  • I know this product has received flip sides of reviews. It isn't something highly raved but I have been going back to this :) I love how it makes me feel like the daily routine of facial cleansing doesn't take a toll on my skin at all.
