As a diligent chemical scrub devotee, I must say that when I switched over to exfoliant toners – I never looked back. My skin truly looks and feels as completely renewed, clear and healthy ever since I've made the change. I've received a generous 30ml sample of this amazing scrub hybrid and after I've used it up, I've purchased a full size tube for me and a friend. Alpha-H Micro Cleanse is the most interesting cross, a hybrid in the world of exfoliants as it combines the very best from both worlds – gentle, scrubby beads and glycolic acid. It's a brilliant product which does wonder for every face no matter if your skin is oily, dry or sensitive – it's pretty much universal. Some might expect a fancy design for such a product but I'm quite won over by the minimalistic design. Alpha-H is known as a brand that invests its all into their formulations. The product itself is the main focus and I really like that approach. You get 100ml of product for £24.50 at lookfantastic.com. It isn't cheap but skincare is the last thing anyone should be cutting costs. AT least that is how I think of things.
Kao odana korisnica hemijskih pilinga, moram reci kako zaista nisam niti na tren pozalila odluku da se na njih prebacim sa manuelnih. Koza mi izgleda znatno bolje a i pod prstima je potpuno drugacija, obnovljena, cista i zdrava otkako sam je upoznala sa AHA i BHA kiselinama. Hemijski piling je za mene zaista ucinio cudo. Prije nekog vremena sam dobila prilicno dobar tester od cak 30ml jednog jako interesantnog pilinga. Kada sam tester potrosila, kupila sam veliko pakovanje za sebe i prijateljicu – toliko me dojmio. Alpha-H Micro Cleanse je hibrid, mjesanac izmedju manuelnog i hemijskog pilinga. U njemu su ustvari objedinjene najbolje karakteristike obe vrste pilinga – sadrzi njezne no jako efektne mikro perlice i glikolnu kiselinu. Ovo je genijalan proizvod koji cini cuda za svako lice bez obzira da li vam je koza masna, suha ili osjetljiva – prilicno je univerzalan. Netko ce mozda ocekivati da dizajn ovako visokodjelujuceg proizvoda bude atraktivniji no moram priznati kako me minimalistican pristup pridobio. Alpha-H je brend koji je poznat po tome sto sva sredstva ulaze u svoje formulacije. Sam proizvod je u fokusu i takav pristup smatram vise nego odlicnim. Dobijete 100ml proizvoda za 58KM na lookfantastic.com sto nije malo no njega koze je posljednja na kojoj bi se novcici trebali stediti. Barem je to moj pristup.
This exfoliator is of a light, unobtrusive minty scent as it contains mentha piperita oil. Don't worry, it has landed at the very last position in the ingredients list so it shouldn't irritate the skin in the slightest. Micro Cleanse contains quite a hefty dose of glycolic acid – 12%, which is amazing. Its task is to clear the skin, pores and follicles of dead cells, blackheads and debris whilst smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. And yes, glycolic acid certainly does all that – it's not an advertising stunt. If you want to learn more about this miraculous ingredient – the almighty glycolic acid – I've written down a post about it here. Besides 12% glycolic acid share, Mirco Cleanse also contains the aforementioned mint, cooling cucumber and micro beads which stimulate micro circulation.
Ovaj piling je blagog, nenapadnog mentolastog mirisa posto sadrzi mentha piperita ulje. Ne brinite, ulje mente je na posljednjem mjestu liste sastojaka tako da mislim kako ne bi trebalo izazvati iritacije cak ni osjetljivoj kozi. Micro Cleanse sadrzi prilicno mocnu koncentraciju glikolne kiseline – cak 12% sto smatram sjajnim. Njen zadatak je da procisti kozu, pore i folikule od mrtvih celija, mitesera i ostalih necistoca dok istovremeno zagladjuje fine linije i bore. I da, glikolna kiselina itekako cini sve to. Ukoliko vas intrigira ovaj mocni sastojak i zelite saznati nesto vise o njemu, napisala sam citav post o glikolnoj kiselini ovdje. Osim 12% udjela glikolne kiseline, u ovom pilingu takodjer imamo spomenutu mentu, osvjezavajuci krastavac i mikro perlice koje stimulisu cirkulaciju.
You can use this scrub 2-3x a week on clean skin. The way you use it is simple – massage in gently, leave for 1-3min and rinse. Very sensitive skin can mix it in with a favorite cleanser to dillute it. I prefer to wash my face, pat it with a clean towel and on slightly damp skin perform all the above. I have never experienced a tingling sensation (which is normal with products which contain glycolic acid) but I've felt it lightly when I've used this exfoliator on completely dry skin. It really is scrubby, you feel it doing its thing but I prefer for the skin to be lightly wet so those micro beads glide on gently. The impact of this exfoliant is tremendous. If I've touched, squeezed or did anything I shouldn't with my skin – I whip this baby out. Even on slightly broken skin, it never stings me and by the next morning all the redness is gone and the affected area cleansed, disinfected and on a speedy way to recovery. This exfoliant also keeps my skin unclogged and generally I get fewer breakouts. It slightly reduced blackheads on my nose but I still haven't found the thing that truly removes them. All the tiny bumps on my forehead are gone, skin is smooth and silky. Spot scars fade very quickly and I'm one happy camper. This is an excellent product that every skincare routine craves for.
Piling mozete koristiti 2-3x sedmicno na cistoj kozi. Nacin upotrebe je jednostavan – njezno ga umasirate, ostavite da glikolna djeluje 1-3 minute i potom isperete toplom vodom. Ako ste jako osjetljive koze, mozete razblaziti piling tako sto cete ga pomijesati sa sredstvom za umivanje koje inace koristite. Ja ga najvise volim koristiti nakon sto sam se umila i blago (ali ne potpuno) posusila kozu. Potom radim sve gore navedeno. Obicno proizvodi koji sadrze glikolnu kiselinu umiju izazvati blage trnce po kozi. Licno to nisam osjetila sve dok piling nisam nanijela na potpuno suhu kozu. Ako ga tako koristite, izvrsiti ce dosta intenzivnu eksfolijaciju. Ja vise volim da je koza blago mokra kako mikro perlice mogu njeznije da klize njenom povrsinom. Ujtecaj ovog proizvoda na kozu je nevjerovatan. Ako sam istiskala, dirala i ceprkala po kozi – uvijek posegnem za ovim, sada ne bas tako tajnim, oruzjem. Cak i ako mi je koza jako osjetljiva, imam neku ranicu ili ogrebotinu – nikada me nije peckao niti iritirao. A nakon upotrebe ce podrucje gdje imam bubuljicu biti potpuno smireno, bez crvenila, koza je dezinficirana i na putu ka potpunom oporavku. Takodjer ovaj piling mi mnogo pomaze u odrzavanju tena i pora cistim te sam primjetila da mi se bubuljice rijedje pojavljuju. Blago je smanjio mitesere koje imam na nosu no jos uvijek nisam pronasla nesto sto mi po tom pitanju drasticno pomaze. Sitne neravnine i tackice koje sam imala na celu je izgladio i sada je koza krasno svilenkasta. Oziljci od bubuljica brze blijede i ja sam izuzetno zadovoljna. Ovo je izvrstan proizvod za koji vjerujem da bi mnogo doprinio svakoj njezi koze.
