1) Used to use Avene's Cleanance-K series. I would rate it 7.5/10.
Pros: Excellent for sensitive skin (like mine) as it doesn't make my skin flare up
Doesn't dry my skin out
Controls my sebum production and shine (only if I use the anti-shine regulating lotion)
Keeps my breakouts under control!
Cons: Freaking expensive
2) Switched to the Oxy brand of facial wash recently; using a mix of the blue and green one; I alternate them in a day- i.e. blue in the morning, green at night- nowadays pok gai already cos not working as im studying, so have to be on small budget now. Would rate it 7/10
Pros: Does not dry skin out
Controls breakouts and blackheads well with just the wash only
Surprisingly doesn't flare my skin up!
Very cheap
Cons: Not very good at sebum/oil control
3) Clinique- worst of the lot. Rate it at 1/10.
Pros:
Bottle looks really nice
Cons:
Dries my skin
Makes me overproduce sebum/oil (probably BECAUSE of the skin drying)
Makes me break out
I'm allergic to it- I break out in red rashes all over especially on sensitive cheek spots! Wtf!
Super expensive!
4) Purenavi cleansing gel- 9/10. Discovered this Jap brand thru a promoting agent in Singapore who gave free samples. Tried it once and never wanted to let go of it.
Pros:
DOESN'T dry skin out
Super excellent sebum/oil regulation with just the cleanser! Best of the best!
Okay control of breakouts and blackheads
Contains zero parabens, colours or fragrances- and it's so mild and gentle that my skin loves it to bits!
Cons:
NOT very cheap. One120g tube is about SGD 12, which is about RM 28. But then again, you only use about a 20-sen coin size for each wash. A little goes a long way.
Not readily available in Singapore, let alone Malaysia. I have to go to a specific store (ALT) in Singapore to get it. Seems like no other suppliers stock it. Doh. Also, when I DID buy it, they had VERY little stock left (I bought one of the last few remaining tubes wtf.)
