After trying Aveeno’s Cream Cleanser, which I really liked, it was time to move on to their Foaming Cleanser. I was hoping that it would be as good as the cream cleanser. Did it deliver?

Description:
This light, fast absorbing cleanser is specifically designed for dry, sensitive skin and provides UVA/UVB protection. Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Cleanser includes skin calming feverfew, a natural ingredient related to chamomile. The formula works to visibly reduce the appearance of redness and soothe dry, sensitive skin.

This cleanser is a simple foaming one. It does not strip my combination skin or leave it feeling dry and tight. It actually reminded me a little of Cetaphil, if Cetaphil ever comes out with a foaming cleanser, that is. It cleansed my skin adequately like Cetaphil, but definitely not enough if you have a full face of makeup on, because this Aveeno one is not able to fully remove dirt and gunk.

One thing about the cleanser is that one pump of the product just didn’t cut it for me, because it seemed as the only thing that came out of the pump was foam. A few pumps were needed in order to feel as though I’ve cleansed my skin properly (even after double cleansing).

Do I like it enough to repurchase? Meh. I don’t really like it, but I don’t hate it. If it’s on sale, I might pick one up if I’m running out of cleansers. I just didn’t like it enough to go “oh yes, this is one heck of a cleanser”. You know what I mean?

Aveeno Active Naturals Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser retails at AU$13.99 for 177ml and is available at leading pharmacies and supermarkets nationwide.

What I like about it: It does not strip the skin, does not make my skin dry and tight. Cleanses adequately.

What I do not like about it: A number of pumps are needed (for me, at least), per application, making it a bit of a waste of product.
