Questions & Answers for bareMinerals Deep Cleansing Foam

Question

Can this product be used for the eye area?

In the product description it says that this cleanser is gentle enough to remove eye makeup, but under product details it says "avoid eye area". This is a bit confusing, as the product page is telling me yes, use it on your eyes and no, don't use it on your eyes at the same time! Can someone clear this up for me? Thanks!

I use it all over my face, it does not sting the eyes, but can be drying if used daily on that area. I would advise to use on your face daily or as needed, eye area sparingly. I also would not classify this product as gentle--which is why I gave it two big thumbs up in my review. It does the trick on oily skin.

In my opinion you can because it is very gentle. I just do not promise that it will be strong enough to wash off eye makeup. I do use it all over in the mornings :-)

They both work well for oily problematic skin. I use the deep cleansing in the morning, after working out daytime hours basically, then before bed i use the exfoliating and finish off with the barevitamin lotion.. I wake up in the morning and my face looks fresh and (getting) healthy. I look forward to using these products everyday, and thats a lot to be said. I have spent thousands of dollars on cleansers from high end to bar soap. This is a miracle in a bottle.

I honestly liked both, i got a sample from the store and used one and the other, I have an oily skin too, but neither made it more oily. i was told the foaming one is deep cleaning and the purifying is more gentle. I ended up buying the Foaming cleanser, just because it felt better. I think the best advice is to try to get a sample of each from the store and see which one feels better for your skin.

The foaming cleanser comes out of the tube and almost looks like paste at first. You only nead about a pearl sized amount and you mix it with water to create a very rich and foamy lather. The purifying facial cleanser has more of a milky texture and doesn't lather much, but it still leaves my skin feeling really clean and smooth.

I was told that the deep cleansing foam is for people with oily skin, and the other is for people with combination or dry skin...but I've heard good reviews about both cleansers, so I really don't think you can go wrong. I bought the deep cleansing foam since the other one was all sold out, and I got the last one of the deep cleansing foam at the store I was in, so They are obviously hot items. I really like the deep cleansing foam...it cleans deep but doesn't dry out the skin, and makes your face feel really soft.

Do you have to wet your face before applying the cleanser?

Do I need to wet my face first before applying the product on my face? I understand that you work up a lather in your palm first, but are you applying this lather to a wet face or dry face?

I apply it to a dry face. I make sure I add enough water to my palms (with the pea size amount of cleanser) and rub vigorously to make this creamy foam. Then sometimes I add a little more water to my face while rubbing gently.

I don't know that it matters that much. I've tried it both ways, and I think I prefer wetting my hands, getting a pea sized amt. of the product, working up a lather and then applying it to my dry face...think maybe it stays foamier on the face that way.

I wet my face with warm to hot water and then lather- it foams, lathers and cleans, taking all makeup away,...and of course rinse.
I have used other cleansers that apply to dry skin then rinse, I just think you have to open the pores first rather than in rinsing .

If you have combo skin that's more on the dry side (like me) then I'd go with the purifying. The purifying facial cleanser does not induce my kp which is AMAZING because almost every cleanser I've tried leaves little bumps on my face. The deep cleansing is great too because it really cleans deep but it tends to dry me out even when I use it once a day (night).

Comparison to BM Purifying Facial Cleanser?

Has anyone tried both this BM Deep Cleansing Foam as well as the BM Purifying Facial Cleanser? If so, what's your comparison between the two and which would you recommend?

I am looking to try one of the cleansers. I currently use the Aveeno Skin Brightening soy face wash (comparable to Fresh Soy facewash) but like to switch and try out different cleansers. I have normal yet somewhat sensitive skin. Now that it's winter, my skin errs on the dry side. Occasional acne due to stress. Also use retinol and antioxidant night cream; vitamin C serum and BE makeup for daytime.

I have (and use) both. I like the light one for daily use and I use the thicker one a few times a week for 'deeper' cleaning. It's thicker and creamier. Both are nice and gentle. I think they are pretty moisturizing, though if you're looking for more of that I would recommend the deep foaming one. They last a good amount of time as well. The BE heavier moisturizing lotion is amazing for winter, too!
