I was given my first bottle of Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel in a goody bag and it wasn't a case of love at first sight... There was that packaging for a start, MB's packaging isn't appealing, it looks and feels cheap with a somewhat home made (not in a good way) looking label and a top that looks as if it's going to clog up and leak at the same time. Then there's the colour, it's green, a disturbingly bright shade of green at that, that has a slight pearlescence to it. And then there's the scent, it's a strong almost overwhelming perfume that bears no relation to skincare but smells like something your Granny would wear if she were 'a bit out there'.
I tried it expecting to be seriously underwhelmed and use it once before demoting it to use as a hand soap but I have to admit I was totally wrong! It's seriously good stuff, a non foaming gel that does a great job of removing make up and rinses off easily leaving my skin feeling soft, clean and balanced without any tightness or dryness.
I like to use this for a morning face wash or first cleanse anytime and a second cleanse in warmer weather. It has AHA's from grapefruit and papaya so there's a gentle exfoliation going on when you use it and it preps for skin for treatments brilliantly.
And it falls into the cheap as chips category as it's $14.00 for 8fl. oz. Yes $14.00 for a big bottle of a rather brilliant face wash - Insane!
Suitable for all skin types, you can order it online at mariobadescu.com or bluemercury.com Go on I think you will like it!
