Ingredients:

My experience: I recently finished this entire bottle. And I knew I loved every bit of this cleanser. I have used many cleansers which are either too drying on skin or don’t do anything much. What I love about this cleanser is it is not drying but still makes the skin look clean and removes excess oil. I always noticed a quick brightening effect after using this cleanser which was a big motivation to keep using it. I also noticed a small difference in my pore size.

I loved using this cleanser in summer more than in winters when my skin usually gets dry and the Ole cleanser just made my skin drier. In winters, my favorite is Sephora’s charcoal cream cleanser which is really amazing, but in summer, ole cleanser rules my skincare routine.

It has a mild fruity fragrance which I suppose is the result of all those good extracts in the cleanser.

The company claims that it removes make up, but I have never used the cleanser for removing makeup. In fact, I would never risk or encourage using just a cleanser to remove make up. Double cleansing is a must to make sure the skin remains healthy.

Pros

  1. Cleanses the skin effectively
  2. Great for oily, combination, acne prone skin
  3. Instant brightening effect
  4. Doesn’t make the skin feel dry
  5. Doesn’t irritate the skin at all
  6. Sulfate, paraben free
  7. Comes with a pump
  8. Travel friendly packaging
  9. Helps reducing pores

Cons

  1. Not easily available in India

Will I recommend it?

If you are an oily to combination skin, you can definitely try this cleanser. It is one of its kind. But I can’t say whether it would be a great option for dry skin people.

Overall Verdict:

Olehenriksen Clean Truth Foaming Cleanser is gentle yet effective and is worth putting on your skin care shelves.
