I received this as part of the Reversaderm starter kit that I was lucky enough to get from the Vault. The instructions stated to use this twice daily for two weeks, applying a small amount. I used this as a second cleanse in the evenings. It does say it is designed to remove makeup. However, I wear eyeshadow as well as mascara, so I didn't feel confident using a product containing glycolic acid on my eyes.
The cleanser itself is a white opaque liquid of medium consistency. I massaged it in gently for 30 seconds. This left my skin feeling smooth and plump. If I didn't apply to accompanying serum straight after rinsing off my skin did feel a wee bit tight. Also I did find it hard not to get any on my eyelids at all and these often felt itchy afterwards. I didn't feel any tingling when using the cleanser though but my skin is used to glycolic as I usually use an acid toner daily.
Overall I found this worked well with the Reversaderm system. My 30ml tube lasted me just over two weeks with twice daily use. I reckon the full size bottle would therefore last about two months. I don't think I would purchase the full size as I think this makes it a bit pricey. I would happily buy the starter kit again though when my skin needs a bit of a boost.
I got this as part of the entire Dr Lewinn's Reversaderm range, which I've also reviewed.
The Dr Lewinns Reversaderm Glycolic Clarifying Cleanser is actually far more of a mild product than I was anticipating. It comes in a sizeable bottle equipped with a pump action dispenser, which does have a tendency to get a little messy. The packaging is white with metallic blue accents, and it looks classy, expensive, and a little....medical. Basically, it looks like something that will work.
The cleanser lotion is white, medium thickness and has a faint scent - nothing I can put my finger on, it just smells clean and fresh. It has a typical cream cleanser feel to it, and works into skin well.
You massage this onto damp skin for 30 seconds, leave for a couple of minutes and rinse off. This doesn't feel like it's stripping anything out of skin and it certainly doesn't feel like there is acid in it, which I was worried about. It does tingle (note: not hurt, but it's a sharp tingle) when you use it the day after a peel/mask), which can be disconcerting, but the tingle is only momentary.
Although the label suggests it can remove makeup, it really didn't do this well, so I used a cleansing oil first, which worked perfectly.
At $47 it's one of the cheaper products in the range, and worth considering if you jut want to mildly rejuvenate your skin - but is so lovely in conjunction with the range that I'd be loathe to seperate them.
