Review: Celeteque Hydration Facial Wash

Going back to reviewing this weekend. A member of a facebook group asked for reviews on Celeteque Hydration Facial Wash. Most of the commenters liked it and some even said it’s their holy grail. Syempre I had to try it out.

My sister bought a tube when she ran out of her cleanser. It’s my chance to use it! Haha! Honestly I was scared just like how I would normally feel when using a new product. But I was hoping it will be okay since I love their Hydration Toner. That’s one of my favorite toners ever. I tried this cleanser for 1 to 2 weeks. Just to see if there’s any harsh reaction or if my skin changes.

Description:
CÉLETEQUE DermoScience™ Hydration Facial Wash has Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF) that helps restore the skin’s proper moisture balance. It also has mild cleansing agents that effectively clean without drying the skin.

Ingredients:

Pros:
-Available in department stores and supermarkets
-Affordable; 75 pesos for 60ml, 118 pesos for 100ml, 270 pesos for 250ml
-No irritations and breakouts
-Little goes a long way
-Skin feels soft and bouncy

Cons:
-Leaves a film
-Has sodium laureth sulfate & other possible irritants

It’s always important to check the ingredients list. It says on the packaging that it’s non comedogenic. It’s easy for brands to claim their products “non comedogenic”. The 2nd ingredient is sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), a mild comedogenic cleansing ingredient that creates lather/bubbles. It’s not as harsh as sodium lauryl sulfate. I’m not saying you should freak out when you see them on the label. Of course, it will depend on your sensitivity. Everyone’s skin is unique. You have to try it out and see for yourself.

Here’s CosDNA analysis

“With Natural Moisturizing Factor”, I have to agree at some point. My skin did not feel dry inside. Glycerin is the safest out of all moisturizers in this product. It also has chamomile, a favorite of mine for calming.  I just dont like that SLES leaves film on the surface. That’s what I’ve experienced from other products with it. The film is removed with toner so be sure to do that next step.

What I like about this is it’s non drying, not because of the film. This cleanser makes my skin soft and bouncy. It’s the same effect when I used Mizon Snail Cream before. Good thing it did not cause irritation and breakouts. It’s affordable and available in 3 sizes that fit in every budget. Buy a small one first if you’re planning to test it. Overall, I still think it’s a decent cleanser if you dont have problematic skin.
