Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser

Alpha-H is an Aussie skincare brand and is owned by Michelle Doherty. They're titled as the “Glycolic based Anti-Ageing” type of brand so you really shouldn't be surprised why I love them so much. You know that I'm against manual, granular facial exfoliation (while I do manually scrub my body) and I always, always opt for some kind of chemical peel. I'm in love with all types of acids (AHAs, BHAs – you name it) and I'm especially fond of the mighty glycolic acid. Every single product I've used which had glycolic acid in has done wonders for my skin. Purchasing an Alpha-H product is like a dream come true for me. They're a really straightforward brand as well. You'll never watch a commercial anywhere featuring their products because there is no need for an ad – their products speak for themselves. They don't wow you with a flashy packaging or a suitcase filled with dreams and empty promises. You get what you see and you definitely get real results.

Alpha-H je australijski brend cija je specijalnost njega koze a vlasnica ovog brenda je Michelle Doherty. Sami se nazivaju a i ostali se slazu sa titulom “anti-ageing njege koze koja se temelji na glikolnoj kiselini”. Zaista ne bi trebalo biti iznenadjenje sto su mi se toliko dopali posto znate kako nisam pristalica manualnog, granularnog pilinga kada je koza lica u pitanju (za tijelo ocigledno da koristim granulani piling). Kada njegujem lice, uvijek cu odabrati neki vid hemijskog pilinga a zaljubljena sam u sve vrste kiselina (AHA, BHA – sve sto vam pada na pamet) no posebno mi je draga glikolna kiselina. Sve i jedan proizvod baziran na njoj mi je ucinio cuda po pitanju kvalitete koze. Kupovina Alpha-H proizvoda je iz ovih razloga bila kao ostvarenje malog sna uz dosta iscekivanja. Kao brend su jako direktni i necete nigdje moci pogledati neku karikiranu reklamu posto njihovim proizvodima uopste nije potreban taj vid reklamiranja – proizvodi govore sami za sebe. Nece igrati na kartu atraktivnog pakovanja niti ce vas pokusati zadiviti obecanjima koja nece moci ispuniti. Sve je jasno, glasno i precizno te uvijek znate za sta ste dali svoj novac.

Their packaging is also a plain one, not cheap by any means yet you don't pay extra money to get the latest design or the splash of the latest Pantone color of the year. Every scrape of money is invested in great and effective formulas so you do get the best of the best for your cash. I am extremely into skincare and I do love to invest in a good skincare piece. Face cleansing is one of the most important steps in the skincare routine. You don't want an overly aggressive one to dry out the skin but you also don't want to go for a non-effective cleanser which will leave you with traces of make-up and grime. That's a recipe for a blemish eruption. Women also want something that will be equally effective at removing make-up as well as cleansing the face while it takes care of the gentle skin. If you don't like the idea of having a separate bi-phase cleanser for the eyes and a separate face cleanser for the rest of your face than this is your best bet. No matter if your skin is normal, dry, dehydrated, oily, combination or sensitive – you will love it.

Pakovanja su uvijek minimalisticna, uopste pri tome ne mislim da su jeftina no oni naprosto odbijaju ulagati novac koji se moze iskoristiti za bolje sastojke, na dodatnu estetiku. Svaki novcic je ulozen u odlicne i efektne formulacije tako da pruzaju idealan omjer ulozenog i dobivenog. Ja sam ogroman zaljubljenik u njegu koze i nikada mi nije zao u nju uloziti. Ciscenje lica je jedan od najbitnijih koraka u toj rutini. Ne zelite nabaviti preagresivnu umivalicu koja ce isusiti kozu no, isto tako, ne zelite kupiti umivalicu koja nije prilagodjena potrebama vase koze. U konacnici, takav scenario moze dovesti do netemeljitog ciscenja, talozenja ostataka sminke i prljavstine – recept za erupciju bubuljica. Zene zbog svojih potreba takodjer ocekuju da te iste umivalice budu jednako efektne pri uklanjanju kozmetike, nije akcent samo na ciscenju i osvjezavanju tena. Ukoliko vam se ne dopada ideja da imate poseban dvofazni cistac za uklanjanje make-upa i drugi cistac za ostatak lica, onda je ovo idealan proizvod za vas. Bez obzira da li vam je koza normalna, suha, dehidrirana, masna, mjesovita ili osjetljiva – ova umivalica ce joj odgovarati.

Alpha-H Balancing Cleanser is the perfect all-round face cleanser. It
removes eye make-up in a jiffy! Mascara, eye liner, eye pencil or eye
shadow – all gone without any rubbing. Foundation, blush, bronzer and
lipstick fear this efficient creamy cleanser as no other. The thing with
the Balancing Cleanser is that it doesn't seem to be so efficient at
the beginning due to its gentle creamy formula. It is strong enough to
remove every speck of make-up but it does so without drying out or
irritating the skin. Vitamin E and Aloe Vera provide gentle hydration so
you actually feel how supple skin is after cleansing. It's of a white,
cream-like texure which has a very pleasantly soft, fresh and mild
scent. The way I use it is that I dampen my face full of make-up, than
get a few squirts of the cleanser in my palm. I rub my hands together
and then massage the creamy cleanser, paying special attention to the
eyes and eye lashes. It literally dissolves mascara as if it was magic. First cleanse is to get rid of make-up than I repeact everything as the second cleanse to thoroughly clean my pores. I
take it all off with a soft towel or a muslin cloth (whatever I have at
hand). Perfectly clean and fresh skin is all I see. My face is glowing
ever since I've started using it and we're only at the beginning. I am expecting to get a more even skintone after a few months of regular use. I
sense some more Alpha-H bits entering my skincare stash.

Alpha-H Balansirajuci Cistac lica sa Aloe Verom je idealna i sveobuhvatna umivalica. Nevjerovatno je efektan pri uklanjanju sminke sa ociju, sto mi je nevjerovatno otkrice! Maskara, olovke i tus za oci, sjene – sve bude uklonjeno bez ikakvog trljanja ili grubih poteza. Puder, podloga, rumenilo, bronzer pa i ruz za usne se boje ovog cistaca samo pri spomenu njegovog imena. Ono sto je specificno kod ove umivalice je to da, na prvi pogled, uopste ne djeluje kao neki efikasan skidac sminke bas zbog njegove njezne i kremaste konzistencije. Dovoljno je jak kako bi skinuo posljednji tracak make-upa ali nece iritirati kozu. Vitamin E i aloe vera pruzaju hidrataciju tako da pod prstima osjetite kako je koza istovremeno svjeza ali i jako omeksana. Bijele je boje, kremaste teksture i jako je prijatnog, njeznog mirisa. Nacin na koji koristim ovaj cistac jeste da prvo navlazim lice toplom vodom, umivajuci se preko citave sminke. Potom u dlan nanesem par pumpica, protrljam kremasti cistac medju dlanovima i umasiram ga u kozu. Posebnu paznju posvecujem masiranju cistaca u trepavice i oko ociju. Doslovno ce otopiti maskaru vec pri prvom nanosenju a ukupno cu ovaj postupak uciniti dva puta. Prvo ciscenje otapa sminku dok drugo temeljito cisti pore. Cistac uklonim mekanim peskiricem ili krpicom od muslina natopljene toplom vodom. Koza je nakon ciscenja toliko drugacija, tekstura se polako pocinje mijenjati vec nakon relativno kratke upotrebe. Ten djeluje potpuno drugacije, svjezije i zdravije. Ocekujem da ce se ten koze vremenom dodatno ujednaciti uz redovitu upotrebu. Vec mogu reci da ce jos Alpha-H stvarcica biti dio moje kolekcije.
