Boots Botanics Skin Brightening Cleanser

I've heard a lot of good things about the boots botanics range and since there was a 3 for 2 offer at the time I thought why not check it out! 


I love skin brightening products as most of the time my skin looks dull and I have quite a few acne scars so brightening products just add an extra boost to my skin ^^ I was originally going to purchase the toner as I read some good reviews on the boots website although when I went in store they were all out... so I decided to pick up the cleanser instead.


I first thought that this was the basic wash off cleanser but to my surprise it is actually a wipe off one, I personally am not a fan of this type of cleanser due to the fact that I feel that an oily residue is often left behind but to my surprises I actually kinda like this one :3

I use this product to remove all of my face makeup as soon as I get home from school and boy let me tell you, this stuff gets rid of everything.

Can you see all of that makeup on my face?? there was more on the back as well...
I use to use a facial wipe to remove my makeup although there was never this much product on the wipes, just goes to show that this stuff really removes all of the makeup.

I don't use this alone, I specifically only use this to remove my makeup but not to cleanse my skin. I still feel like I need to wash my face with another cleanser ... but I have to admit this doesn't leave a greasy residue unlike other wipe of cleansers I have tried.



I apply the cleanser all over my face with my fingers and just wipe it off with a cotton pad. I find that this is the most effective way but be careful because if you leave this on for too long you do get a slight tingly sensation, nothing to unbearable but its not that pleasant either. The brightening effect is not amazing although it does give my skin a little boost, but if your looking to really brighten it up then this may not be for you.

Pros
  • Removes all makeup
  • Does not leave a greasy residue
  • Cheap - only £4.07 for 250ml
Cons
  • Not the most effective brightening cleanser
  • Tingly sensation when kept on the face for too long
  • Still need to wash face afterwards 

Overall: 7/10

  6. Makes me curious about the product since you said that it really does brighten up your skin. Because I don't like when products claim something & then you're just disappointed. hmmm.. Maybe I'll try this out :)
