Mario Badescu Keratoplast Cream Soap 177 ml

Okay I guess, didn't make my skin feel very clean, but nice and soft feeling. However, when I had a bad breakout my skin reacted very angrily to this product, which tells me it's not doing anything good for my skin. Will not buy again, did not finish.

My sister loves MB cleansers, so I figured I'd try one that seemed custom-made for my skin. Pros: - The scent! I love it! - ... Cons: - Nothing about this cleanser "cleanses." I never expect a cleanser to remove makeup, so that's not even the issue—I felt this one didn't even lather beneath my fingers in any way. It didn't feel like it did anything to my skin at all, except sit there. The few times I used this without a hearty dose of rosewater toner afterward, I broke out. - As with most cream cleansers, it's hard to get it all off. I'd find weird spots along my hairline thinking I had rinsed thoroughly. Might not be unique to MB. Overall: This is a weird product. I have absolutely no reason to purchase it again, so I use it now for shaving my legs when I run out of shaving cream.

This is my morning face wash. I would not use it to remove my makeup as it just won't work, but it does a good job at removing the sweat and oil that accumulates while I sleep. I think the steam from the shower helps at removing that layer of "film" other reviewers complain about. It's not perfect but I like that after using this in conjunction with the Keratoplast Lotion and Calming Cream my face is nice and clear, not red or irritated as it used to look. My skin looks smoother and healthier. I would say I have combination skin that is oily and flaky all over, and this doesn't increase oiliness nor skin congestion. It also doesn't cause that tight feeling that many cleansers do.

I like this cleanser for 3 reasons. First, it's got tons of great ingredients for anti-aging and overall skin health, like keratoplast (basically, a beta hydroxy acid that helps firm the skin and refine pores) and aloe + bee pollen to sooth skin sensitivities. Second, I love the scent and texture. It's got this lovely honeysuckle/white floral scent that lingers faintly even after cleansing. Finally, this is the kind of cleanser that you WANT to have on your skin. I don't understand the negative reviewers complaining that this doesn't take off their makeup, because I don't think you should rely on just one cleanser to do everything. I use a harsher cleanser to take off all my makeup and follow up with this lighter cleanser that soothes my skin while I have an already bare face. For those purposes, it's really nice and I recommend.

This cleanser dried out my skin so badly. My skin is dry/clog prone, sensitive and I sometimes get broken caps. I bought this cleanser in the hopes it would help with the broken caps. It has a strong smell and thick texture. I felt like I was rubbing shampoo on my face. My face felt so dehydrated and raw after using this. Never again will I use this!! I wish I could give it ZERO lippies!!
