WHAT: Maelove’s The Refresher Triple AHA Cleanser
WHY: If you’re beleaguered by overactive sebum, this face wash is, as the YouTubers say, everything.
As oily-skinned ladies, we want that squeaky clean feeling BUT we mustn’t strip our skin of ALL moisture (even though it feels sooooo right) else that leads to even MORE OIL PRODUCTION AND OUR LIVES AND FACES ARE WORSE AND MORE WET.
Enter: Alpha Hydroxy Acids.
Maelove’s triple blend of lactic, malic, and tartaric acids (don’t be afraid of that word) work to refresh your skin and promote cell turnover without ever disrupting your skin’s natural barrier. And what that all means in normal-person speak is: you get soft, glowy, lightly-exfoliated skin that feels smoother than a baby’s bum and looks brighter than the fucking sun.
It smells a leeeeettle bit like toothpaste, but you only need one pump, it’s so gentle you can use it day or night (in fact definitely use it day and night), and the price is so good that we thought it was a typo.
We’re quickly becoming mild Maelove addicts, and their face oil has skyrocketed to the top of our list of favorite everyday products.
PRICE: $23
