Skin Care 101 - Leyende Clean Slate Face Cleanser

by Ichi Pestano - July 09, 2013

More organic products on my blog! Yes, I'm switching... little by little. Recently, I found a new brand called Leyende. It's a Spanish word that translates to "legend" or "story". It is a Filipino brand making natural, organic and handmade bath and body products.

They have several distributors, mostly online shops. I got mine from Zalora. This site frequently offers discounts and flash sales, so I took advantage and bought the product right away. I was surprised because the shipping was fast. Cheers to that!

It arrived in this nice Zalora box. Kinda big for a small tube. :) But thumbs up for the efforts in packaging.

For a 100 ML tube, I got it for 350 pesos. They charge shipping fee for orders worth below 1000. So, add 100 bucks to that, making it 450. As I mentioned, there was a flash sale when I bought it, so skipping the computation, I got it for 397.50 php.

By the way, I also got coupons after my purchase. More discounts! Yay! :)

Clean Slate is a non-foamy facial cleanser and makeup remover. Yep, 2 in 1! Double whammy! Oooh I love such products! It's formulated with pandan and calamansi extracts, very well-known in brightening the complexion. There are other active ingredients such as virgin coconut oil and lactic acid.

Since it's non foamy, no need to rinse after. Yep, waterless cleansing. All you need is a wet tissue (wet wipes). The key advantage here is the fact that it's travel-friendly. Since it's in a non-liquid form, this is allowed for your hand-carry. Airports can be super strict sometimes right? Plus, no need to worry about leakage. It can steadily seat and fit inside your bag.

The consistency is similar to a regular lotion, but it doesn't leave a greasy feeling after blending. It's perfect for travel because you can clean your face anytime, anywhere. Sometimes, long trips (especially in summer), can result to sticky and irritating feeling. Even if you use this product several times in a day, it won't make your skin dry.

Compared to facial wipes, I think using Clean Slate is better. Why? Because you also get the benefits of the organic ingredients while having a clean and makeup free face. Imagine those nights when you're just too tired (or drunk HAHA!) to wash your face. This is the ultimate solution for that. :)

Let me show you more photos. Thanks to Kris for lending me his camera again. I tried my best in using the self-timer (without a remote) and not to mention using a prime lens! It's so hard to catch the focus! HAHA! Can relate?
