Discover the Ultimate Cleansing Treatment!
Managing my skincare routine means trying out various products regularly as a beauty editor. However, one product has stood the test of time with me for almost a decade. I have been loyal to using the same micellar water every morning instead of a face wash and every night to remove makeup since my college days, and I thought this was a forever kind of relationship.
Recently, a recommendation led me to switch to the Fresh Kombucha 2-in-1 No Rinse Cleanser & Prebiotic Treatment ($44), and I had to bid farewell to my beloved micellar water.
As someone with very dry skin, I always aim to find a cleanser that can effectively remove makeup and dirt without drying out my skin. While micellar water is excellent for these purposes, the Fresh Kombucha cleansing treatment takes it up a notch.
Unlike micellar water, which is gentle with water and oil micelles to cleanse the skin, the Fresh Kombucha treatment works like a proper cleanser. It acts as both a makeup remover and a face wash, eliminating the need for a double cleanse, and you don’t even need to rinse it off.
With ingredients like soap berry peel extract to cleanse, kombucha for antioxidants that brighten and protect the skin from pollution, and prebiotic inulin to balance the skin’s microbiome, this treatment goes beyond just removing makeup and oil.
According to Rachel Nazarian, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, this formulation supports skin health by maintaining a healthy microbiome environment, ensuring your skin’s pH remains balanced for a calm and stronger complexion.
Most facial soaps have a basic pH that disrupts the skin’s natural acidic state, causing stress. By using a probiotic-rich cleanser like this one, you can help your skin maintain its ideal pH level without the need for extra balancing steps in your routine.
Since adding this treatment to my routine, my skin has become visibly brighter, smoother, more supple, and less reactive. Dr. Nazarian confirms the positive changes, stating, “It’s certainly a different product than what you’re used to. I’m glad you discovered it!”
Despite parting ways with my trusty micellar water, the Fresh Kombucha cleansing treatment has become a new favorite that I’m grateful for.
