This Not That: Revisions Brightening Facial Wash

As we’ve established, I’m easily swayed when shopping online, especially by enticing keywords like “brightening” in skincare. When I saw an influencer promoting a big bundle for Revisions products, I couldn’t resist and ordered the Intellishade tinted moisturizer (meh), DEJ eye cream (so pricey), and brightening facial wash.

While the cleanser did do an excellent job of removing my makeup (it’s surprising how many cleansers struggle with that!), I found it left my skin SO feeling tight and SO dry #wompwomp This made it hard for me to use my active ingredients in other skincare products. Personally, I prefer seeing results from serums and treatments rather than cleansers, so this was a one-time purchase for me. I ended up giving it to my husband, who has oily skin, and he was able to finish the bottle without issues.

I typically reach for milky or oil cleanser because of my skin type, and I’ve now made La Roche-Posay my go-to. It has no fragrance like the Revision product and includes a fantastic combo of niacinamide and ceramides, which I love.

Please don’t spend more than $25 on a cleanser when you’re just washing it down the drain! There are plenty of affordable, high-quality options out there.
