MAC Green Gel Cleanser Really Attacks Oily Skin Problems

4

I get oily skin from time-to-time so I was willing to try something new to help eliminate the problem. The **MAC Green Gel Cleanser** definitely fit the billing. The bottle is only 150 mL (5 oz) so it doesn't seem like a lot. However, the saleswoman told me that I didn't need to apply much cleanser to my face. I only need to put enough liquid, roughly the size of a dime, in my hand and lather it up before spreading it all over my ugly mug. Keep in mind that both hands and face must be wet when applying. I can actually feel a difference as I apply the cleanser to my face. As described it really does make my skin tingle. Strangely enough, that makes me feel better to know that it's doing its job. The foaming gel both nourishes and hydrates the skin throughout the whole process. I really appreciate that. I hate it when my skin goes dry after washing it with soap. The green gel cleanser contains an oil-soap and alcohol-free formula. What does this mean? It helps reduce the amount of pores showcased all over the face. It also controls the sebum production, the oily secretion released from the body through the skin. This is important, as the green gel cleanser doesn't totally strip the skin of this process every time it is applied. Nobody wants chaffed skin. For the ladies, it is pretty effective when removing makeup and any excess oil from the skin. After rinsing my face, it feels lighter and cleaner. I use it probably every second day. Amazingly, one bottle will last me for a good few months. I do know if you have sensitive skin, the tingling will be even more prominent than usual. Also, keep in mind not to apply it too closely to the eyes as it will sting if not rinsed off thoroughly. Do I like it? I have no complaints against the **MAC Green Gel Cleanser**. I've been using it for years now and haven't missed a beat when it comes to purchasing this product. It's definitely a personal preference and I know my wife enjoys using it as well.

Wonderful product but it is not for all skin types.

I tried out this product because I have combination skin that can be oily at times and heard this product does wonders for people with oily skin. It comes in a simple clear bottle with a back top. A dime size of this is enough to wash my face because its a gel formula so it lathers and foams up nicely (soap-free!). After trying it, my skin felt a little to tight than usually but I continued to try it out.  It truly washes all of my make up off without leaving an residue behind. It leaves my skin feeling clean but a tad dry. It is suppose to reduce the amount of oil and it really does. I do not think this product is a great cleanser for people wtih combination skin because it can leave the skin feeling dry and tight feeling after rinsing off the product. This is probably an ideal product for people that have oily skin because it does remove excess oil and leaves skin feeling cleaned and refresed. I have an oily t-zone and my cheeks tend to get dry, so this product worked amazingly on my t-zone but my cheeks did not benefit from it.
