Biore 4 In 1 Detoxifying Cleanser, 6.7 Ounce

I have used Biore′ products for several years off and on. I was disappointed when Biore discontinued the self-heating masks. I always got a kick out of having a blue Smurf face.

I am not really sure what the 4-in-1 part of the name is referring to. To me that would suggest the product does four different things in one product. The product cleans your face. I guess one can argue that it cleans, stimulates, detoxifies and refreshens. That's four things. The one thing it doesn't do is moisturize. But it doesn't claim to do that.

The ingredients in this deep cleansing, oil-free formula are listed in order as follows:

-Water

-Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLE and SLS are the bane of my existence!)

-Coco-glucoside (a foaming agent which is not toxic like SLE or SLS)

-Glycerin

-Betaine (used in facial products for its ability to reduce the irritation effect of surfactants [SLE and SLS], anti-inflammatory and anti-aging properties)

-PEG-7 Glyceryl Cocoate (Another surfactant!)

-Sodium CocoAmphoacetate (Yup, a surfactant).

-Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract (skin conditioning agent)

-Camellia Senensis Leaf Extract (green tea used here as a "detoxifier")

-Coco Nucifera (coconut) Water

-Withania Somnifera Root Extract (Root plant originating from India: Withania Somnifera taken orally is known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, anti-stress, antioxidant, mind-boosting, immune enhancing and rejuvenating properties. It is also said to be an aphrodisiac. I am not sure what it achieves used topically).

-BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene. This is BAD, BAD, BAD. Research this and avoid it!).

-Polyquaternium-10 ( a "coating" ingredient most often seen in hair care products)

-Diazolidinyl Urea (antimicrobial preservative that acts as a formaldehyde releaser in cosmetics and personal care products. This ingredient may be derived from animals. From PETA's Caring Consumer: Excreted from urine and other bodily fluids. In deodorants, ammoniated dentifrices, mouthwashes, hair colorings, hand creams, lotions, shampoos, etc.) YUCK.

-Disodium Edta (Chelating and binding agent)

-Menthol (ingredient that gives the slight tingling sensation after using)

-Citric Acid (preservative)

-Propylene Glycol (used to absorb extra water and maintain moisture in certain medicines, cosmetics or food products).

-DMDM Hydantoin (DMDM hydantoin is an antimicrobial formaldehyde releaser preservative. People exposed to such formaldehyde-releasing ingredients may develop a formaldehyde allergy or an allergy to the ingredient itself and its decomposition products)

-Benzophenone-4 (Benzophenone-4 ingredients absorb and dissipate UV radiation, which serves to protect cosmetics and personal care products. It doesn't protect your SKIN from UV, it protects the PRODUCT. I don't store my facial cleanser in the sun. Benzo-4 is a known allergen).

-Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate (Used as a preservative, it is acutely toxic by inhalation. High allergen warning).

-Fragrance

Ok. Those are the ingredients. Not a pretty picture. But let's ignore the horror listed above for a moment and talk about how the product works.

Instructions say to wet face, pump out product, massage gently and rinse off. With the amount of surfactants in the ingredient list I thought this product would be foamier than it is. The application was smooth and easy. I used it with full makeup on because I wanted to see how well it performed as a makeup remover. It did a great job with the foundation/blush and eyeshadow. It sort of failed in the removal of the mascara (I don't wear waterproof formula). I had to use a cloth to remove the mascara but the rest of my facial mess rinsed off nicely.

After thoroughly rinsing, I pat toweled dry. I immediately noticed a slight tingling sensation (the menthol in the product) that was not unpleasant. I don't really know if this ingredient really benefits the skin or if it is just a psychological benefit.

I did notice after 5 minutes of air drying that my skin starting feeling tight. I fought with myself about applying my favored night time moisturizing cream because I wanted to see if the cleanser itself would cause any irritation to my semi-sensitive skin. It did. After ten minutes the tingling sensation was gone but the dryness prevailed and my cheeks felt hot. I looked in the mirror and there was noticeable redness.

In my opinion, this product cleans but the DEEP CLEANSING claim is really saying it will strip your skin of all moisture. I had to double the amount of my nightly moisturizing cream to negate the effects of the harsh ingredients in this cleanser.

If you are even a teeny bit sensitive to products I would really avoid this product. I overall was a fan of Biore but honestly, after researching the ingredients found here I am just going to have to say "Good Luck and Goodbye".

I have a mix of dry/oily skin. I love the way it cleans my skin. It feels fresh, and gave you a ""detox" feeling. It gives you a slighlty tingling feeling thats makes you face feels refresh. The self foaming product makes the cleaning more true like. I love the way it cleans my skin and detoxsify , You only need a liitle of product so it last. You would love the cleaning feeling it gave you to the skin. I would update my review considering mosterizing and healthfull improvment in long term use.

This is the strangest cleanser I've ever tried! I've used a lot of Biore products over the years and have found that most tend to be geared towards oily or acne-prone skin. I expected that this product would be stripping or drying to my combination/dry mature skin, but it really wasn't!

It doesn't take much for my skin to feel tight and tortured with cleansing products, but surprisingly this light and foamy cleanser just made my skin feel refreshed. It has a nice menthol-y and pleasant aroma and it makes my skin feel invigorated. It doesn't do squat to remove eye makeup, though. So I use my MAC Cleansing oil on my face first, and use the Biore on top to remove everything. I really like how fresh and clean it makes my face feel. Surprisingly it has not broken me out, burned, chapped, or made my face itch!

If you have oily or mostly-combination skin, you'll probably like this. I have some areas where anything short of a cream just won't do well, so I'm liking this Biore as a spring/summer cleanser for drier skins but not in winter. I wouldn't pass this up for myself as a summer cleanser if I found a bargain, but with my very dry areas it wouldn't be something I could use comfortably all year. Still a nice product and one pump does your whole face. Very economical.

I really like this Biore Cleanser. I blew off the 'detoxifying' and '4 in 1' verbiage as marketing-speak and focused on how it made my face feel.

I like that it's foams gently. And I was absolutely surprised at how smooth it left my skin. That said, it's going to have to be my Summer cleanser as it's a bit too drying for Winter.

Definitely recommend --but with caveats. It left my face clean and very smooth to the touch, but was drying.

Both my daughter and I tried this. I found it to be a bit too strong for over 45+ skin stripped just a bit too much. But for my daughter's younger skin, it worked very well. She loved the product and would buy more.

This has a light foam that goes on easily and cleans off easily. I don't have an opinion of the scent either way, though I still prefer scentless products as with the Simple line. But it definitely works well.
