OXY Seaweed Power Fresh Skin Wash - Review

Hello everyone,

Today I am going to be sharing my views on the OXY Seaweed Power Fresh Skin Wash. 
I have been using it for most of this month and have to say I have instantly taken a liking to it!
The OXY skin care range is available from stores such as Boots and Tesco and costs £5.99.

'OXY has been a trusted and effective brand in the fight against blackheads, spots and oily skin for over 20 years.'

'Spot prone skin needs a powerful yet gentle approach. That's why the dermatoligists at OXY have undertaken ground breaking research into the power of nature.'

What I like about this product the most is that it contains jojoba micro beads that work deep into the skin to help fight spot-causing bacteria and reduce redness. This product dissolves oil which I find helps to keep shine under control. For me is what I look for when purchasing a new face product as I have quite oily skin. I love how clean my skin feels after using this product and the micro beads feel like they are really working to get rid of any dead skin cells on my face, leaving it feeling extremely clean! This product has a similar texture to an exfoliator and gives a powerful deep cleanse without being too harsh on your skin.

This product is gentle enough to be used everyday, even for people who have sensitive skin.
After using this product I have noticed that my skin has become a lot clearer and looks brighter too!

The OXY face wash is said to work best alongside the OXY Deep Calm Balm moisturiser. 
I have been using it with my Liz Earle light moisturiser and I think this combination works well. I think any oil-free moisturiser would be suitable to use with this product however I am going to try out the calm balm to see if that makes any more of a difference in how clear my skin looks. 


Pros
  • Clean, fresh smell
  • No alcohol
  • No parabens
  • No SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate)
  • Contains provitamin B5
  • Suitable for sensitive skin
  • Reduces redness
  • Controls shine
  • Can be used everyday

Cons
  • I haven't had any bad experiences with this product as of yet and at this moment in time, I can't think of anything negative to say.

Have you tried this product before? Let me know what your experience was like whether it was good or bad!

  3. I've always found Oxy products to be really effective, I think highstreet products like this don't get enough credit in the beauty blogging world. I found you through BBU bloghop and am now following :) x

  11. I find this dries out my skin too much which is really disappointing because I can tell its a really good product but perhaps for more oily skin, but how lovely is Liz Earle moisturiser!!
