THE VERDICT:
The good ol’ Safeguard soap has played an
important role in my life, especially in terms of hygiene: From Dog bites,
scratches, wounds, to general cleansing, and from my bright- eyed, childhood
days up to today, Safeguard has always been there to the rescue whenever I’m in
need of disinfection and cleansing.
I still use Safeguard, but my hygiene needs have
already changed over the years. Disinfection is still a priority, but I equally
prioritize beauty as well so I prefer products that protect and beautify my
skin (and prevent Acne!) at the same time. Here comes Safeguard to my rescue
once again with the new Derma Sense line that promises germ protection and skin
care. I’m mighty curious on Safeguard’s take on skin care so I am excited to
try out this bunch!
I’ll be documenting my journey with this line,
specifically with the Derma Sense Facial Wash For Acne Prone Skin, in a two-
part blog post series.
Let’s begin!
SAFEGUARD DERMA SENSE SKIN CARE
LINE IN DETAIL
Derma Sense is the newest skin care range by
Safeguard and it is designed to fight Acne- causing bacteria and maintain a
healthy skin. The range features Body Bars, Face And Body Wash, and Facial Cleanser in Acne Prone and Sensitive Skin variants.
Derma
Sense For Acne Prone Skin-
formulated to get to the root of Acne by getting rid of bacteria that cause it
along with excess oil and dirt, inflammation, and pore blockage. It is
dermatologically- tested and promises to reduce Acne by up to 89% in 8 weeks of
consistent usage.
Derma
Sense For Sensitive Skin-
designed to cleanse sensitive and easily- irritated skin. It is
dermatologically- tested, Alcohol, Dyes, and Fragrance- free, and cleanses
deeply yet gently without compromising the skin’s defense layer, thus I believe
it is suitable for normal skin as well.
My first impressions on this promising skin care
range after the jump!
Ingredients, Derma Sense For Acne
Prone Skin
(Left: Face And Body Wash; Right: Facial Cleanser)
The Facial Cleanser has a generous amount of
Salicylic Acid to effectively fight Acne bacteria as well as Niacinamide, a
wonder ingredient that helps skin repair steadily. Suffice to say, this cleanser will help
restore your skin’s health and keep it clean at the same time. The Face And
Body Wash, on the other hand, contains Zinc Pyrithione. A complex of Zinc
(another well- known Acne- busting ingredient), Zinc Pyrithione is as good (if
not better) as the former because it is known for its antifungal and
bacteriostat (inhibits the multiplication of bacteria) properties.
I’m pretty impressed with the kind of ingredients
that went into these products!
Ingredients, Derma Sense For
Sensitive Skin
(Left: Face And Body Wash; Right:
Facial Cleanser)
The Facial Cleanser from this variant has a good
concentration of Glycerin, a moisture- attracting and retaining ingredient.
Acne Prone Face And Body Wash has a milky,
greenish consistency and it foams up to a generous lather. It is also laced
with a light Eucalyptus scent that is refreshing to the senses and cooling to
the skin.
Acne Prone Skin Cleanser has a light cream
consistency and a virtually non- foaming formula, which is great news because
that means it won’t dry out my skin. I believe its formula will suit those with
combination oily/dry skin as well. It has a very light floral scent, the
signature floral scent of Safeguard. Oh, the scent brings back a lot of bath
time memories!
Sensitive Skin Skin Cleanser has a slightly
pearly consistency, which I believe is intended by Safeguard for the product to
provide a moisturizing effect to the skin. I alternate this product with Acne
Prone Skin Cleanser, most especially when I want to use something fresh and
light.
SAFEGUARD DERMA SENSE SKIN CARE
LINE IN ACTION
I’ve been using the Face And Body Wash and Skin
Cleanser for two weeks now. The cooling effect of the Acne Prone Face And Body
Wash is heaven sent in this hot weather. The Sensitive Variant, I use when my
Atopic Dermatitis strikes because its gentle formula helps me manage this skin
condition of mine, but please take not that it is not a cure.
Let us now get down to my most favorite product
in this range: Acne Prone Skin Skin Cleanser. It’s gentle, soft, a bit
moisturizing, does not leave any residue on the skin, and even helps me remove
more makeup due to its light cream consistency. I have a half cystic/half
pustule (lol) zit on my right cheekbone and I noticed that it dried out quickly after
just one week of using this product. Promising!
Since I mentioned that this particular skin
cleanser has a cream consistency, I suppose you’re all asking in your heads
right now if it will aggravate current breakouts or trigger new breakouts. I
think no because firstly, it is formulated to fight breakouts. Lastly, little
did everyone know that very harsh, high foaming facial cleansers that leave the
skin very dry, taut, and squeaky clean are one of the leading causes of
breakouts and this is why I like the consistency of this facial cleanser: It
fights Acne like a boss, but does not damage my skin by stripping off its natural moisture! But please use with caution and with professional guidance if
you have hypersensitive or highly- reactive skin.
So far, I’m having a good experience with the
products. There go my first impressions on the Derma Sense Line. In part two,
I’ll muse about the effects of these products on my skin. Until then!

My husband is an avid user of safeguard products☺ his loyalty will always be on this product. I will let him try this range, Im sure he's going to love it.
ReplyDeleteI've been noticing this product in landmark trinoma because therez always a doctora lookalike girl dressed in a lab gown smiling at me as i pass by her aisle.. well because my mom is naturally kind she bought a facial wash for acne prone skin and my lil bro used it :) and it did miracles to him! His acne are all dried now!! :) i hope it will work on you too ms. M :)
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to use safeguard products ever since because its antibacterial properties are superb. But my Mom always instruct me to opt for beauty bars with moisturizing properties because the classic safeguard is a lil bit drying to the skin. But when I saw this line from safeguard specially made for acne-prone individuals, my Mom already allowed me to buy it. This is perfect for me because as a teenager, it's inevitable for stress and genes to kick in which result to constant break-outs. I agree to you, with just one week, it effectively dries up my pimples and prevents breakouts (sans the scars though). I just use potato juice to fade the dark marks. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Safeguard! It's been our household bath soap ever since i was a kid. I love this line that they came up with, the body wash is perfect for those who wants no-fuss body wash.
ReplyDeleteI honestly didn't know about this line until now! I also trust Safeguard for years and I will definitely test this out myself. I'm glad they're now expanding their range of products.

ReplyDeleteMy dad uses Safeguard soap since I was a kid. And as an avid user of the brand, he motivated me to use this new-to-us product he just spotted while we were in the grocery. And yes, I bought the facial wash. Much to my surprise, it was actually good.
