SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 23 ingredients
This was my life saver! After using the Abib heartleaf foam Cleanser, an explosion of pimples, cyst and pimples happened (do not recommend at all for oily people!).
This Centella Ampoule Foam helped to reduce my acnee and clearing up my face. Who says that cleansers are not important? No one. As an oily person I cannot recommend this enough.
It triggered my fungal acne and even if I like it’s moisture and how soft of left my face hydrated, I wouldn’t use it again.
