Cleansing your face is by far the most important step in your skin care routine. Not only does it rid of the dirt and oil that accumulated on your face throughout the day, it also leaves your skin feeling fresh. I believe that almost every beauty brand has its own line of cleansers. As consumers, we are definitely spoilt for choice. Plus, it makes it tough for us to pick a suitable one out. During one of my many online shopping sprees, I came across the Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Foam by Calmia and decided to purchase it because of the good reviews and super affordable price tag. I figured, what could go wrong with Oatmeal related beauty products? I needed to replace my old cleansing foam that has been squeezed dry by me, so this product came at just the right time.
So, what is Calmia Oatmeal Therapy Cleansing Foam?
I’ve tried looking up the brand Calmia but could not find anything about the brand save for the fact that they carry a variety of beauty products.
The write-up on the product states that the CALMIA Special Deep Cleansing Oatmeal Therapy Form Cleanser helps to clear the skin and prevent blemishes. It unclogs pores, removes dirt and excess oil from the skin’s surface. Your skin will be left feeling soft, smooth and comfortable.
That is a whole lotta stuff for one product.
My thoughts about it
Right off the bat, I like it for the fact that it will leave my skin smelling and feeling like a baby’s bum bum. It is milky, creamy and smells like a baby’s powder / soap / shampoo – basically something baby related!
It lathers up pretty well with some water and washes off pretty easily too.
Now, whether it does everything that it has claimed as above, I think it achieves a number of it but not all. I’ve been using it for 2 months now and my skin has been blemish free throughout. I do find my skin feeling fresh, soft and smooth after every wash too. However, I find that if my face is extremely oily on certain days, I will need an extra helping of the product or maybe wash my face twice to rid of the excess oil.
If you have make-up on, this product alone will not remove everything. You will definitely need to double cleanse with this product. It’s a good daily cleanser for light cleansing though.
This cleansing foam works well on all skin types and thanks to the oatmeal extract as its main ingredient, it will definitely help soothe even the most sensitive of skin. I’ve noticed that it brings down any redness on my skin too, which is a big plus.
In summary
I find that it is a great daily cleanser that can be used day and night. With make-up on, I’d still need to double cleanse as this cleansing foam does not fully remove my make-up. It is gentle on the skin and will leave my skin feeling smooth and hydrated after each wash.
I like that it doesn’t strip my skin dry, neither does it leave a tacky feeling after wash. The biggest plus point would be the scent. Some might find it overpowering as it does smell like baby’s powder. However, I like it. I mean, well, who doesn’t like coming out from the shower smelling like a clean baby’s bum bum (Now, I did say clean. No one wants to smell like a smell bum bum, baby or not).
