I saw a lot of people create discussion about exfoliate products. Here I share the explanation from dermatologist.

Maximum 3 times a week. Some of you might resilient to use once a day. 

My opinion : 
💭 I think it's not safe to use everyday because it slowly scraping your skin. That's the reason why your skin suddenly become more sensitive. (called 'overexfoliate') 

Then some people wondering if exfoliate necessary in our skincare routine. Let me tell you all product have their own function not only marketing gimmick/strategic to get your money. It is necessary to remove dead skin cell, unclog pores, remove whitehead and blackhead. This is not means your cleanser not doing its job but ahas, bhas and phas exfoliater clean more deep than cleanser. This ingredients cannot use twice a day, everyday and if they create a cleanser product with harsh ingredients of course you will give a bad reviews.. No star at all. 
You wouldn't be ugly if you skip every two days... You will be fine without exfoliate your face two weeks or even a month if you didn't see any sign of blackhead (particularly for person who doesn't wear makeup). People exfoliate skin to prevent ance and any inflammation due clogged pores. Don't apply exfoliater if you're breakout, it will make your ance angry and more angrier. 

Choose right cleanser for your skin will save your money to buy exfoliater or any product. Ahas, bhas inside cleanser products safe to use everyday due low %. For example, salicylic acid.

OFBase's giveaways

Thank you to Picky and Ruruberry for give me a chance to do product review. This is my first giveaways and I will remember this moment for the rest of my life. Hopefully the products will safely arrive at home.

I'M EXCITED!!! I was too shocked and almost forgot how to breath 😭

FIRST GIVEAWAY I WON

I've ance-prone and oily-normal skin based on weather. Sometimes my face produce too much oil and sometimes just like a normal skin. But I feel my face skin getting drier than usual.

So I am thinking of changing face cleanser because I think he's the culprit. I bought it before I know this app and I checked he's not for me. We can't be together.

As an upgrade I want products that focus on fixing skin barriers, cleaning pore, moisturize and soothing.

Help me to make a choice. You can also recommend me other products (I will think about it).

🌵I use twice a day using fingers. Sometimes I applied too much, sometimes just what I need. It last 8 until 10 hours for hot weather and humidity country.
🌵I was having a lot of small pimples and a few ance. I bought it with aiken tea tree oil toner so I usually use after toner. Sometimes it irritating my skin maybe I was use too much toner and sometimes (especially early of usage) my face became redness. I was using it before sleep and bring to the bed which is lead to the breadkout as it has spf ingredients. So I can said my face near to flawless at half of conteiner. But since I use at night (that was before I knew I shouldn&#39;t use at night), blind ance started popping up and a few inflammation of pimples. This moisturiser is less effective fight big and deep skin ance.

🌵UNCLOG PORES

🌵DEEP CLEAN
🌵REMOVE EXCESS OIL

• Texture, Colour and Scent •
🌵 Creamy and foam type, white, slightly smell menthol.

• USAGE and EXPERIENCE •
🌵 Twice a day. Sometimes twice at one times to remove extra oils. 
🌵I thought this cleanser is my HG (that was before I interesting in skincare routine) as it&#39;s claim for oily and ance-prone. Early of usage, I really like it, my sister also like because it is feel so refresh with cool sensation. I think this product worked out to fight small pimples but not deep skin ance. It doesn&#39;t irritating even though I have ance and pimples. I never seen blackhead on my skin so I guessed the claim is right. It is deep clean, remove excess oil and unclog pores as I feel my skin so clean no extra oils at all. But sometimes this product made me insecure if I feel a little oily on my skin which is a bad action. After rising, I feel smoothes because of soothes and moisturiser ingredients. At the end of usage and there is a changing weather to raining season, my skin doesn&#39;t produce much sebum as before. This cleanser made my skin dehydrated.

• Conclusion •
All the claims is true but I will not repurchase anymore even hot season as I found better product.

Pros:
🌵 Easy to get at any stores or supermarkets.
🌵 Remove moisturiser, dirt and extra oil.
🌵Suitable as first cleanser if using double cleansers technique.
🌵Feel refresh and cool sensation after rising
🌵Fight small pimples

💭 Hard to clean inside the tube
💭 Hard to cut it off
💭 Not good to use after exposed to air
💭 Sticky until it is fully absorb 

• CONCLUSION •
🌿 I will not repurchase because I want something easy to clean inside the tube or container.

This product is good for dehydrated skin, cracked, chapped lips, burnt and smoothes.
