Those of you who read my posts will know that I really enjoy the Your Good Skin cleansers. I picked up this Cica Repair Sleep paste back in September with the intention to use it after I have used a strong chemical exfoliator. I’ve used this several times and I am absolutely in love. It’s a dupe for the Liz Earle CICA Restore Skin Paste.
My Review
Cica Repair Sleep Paste does exactly what it says in the name. It’s a soothing paste that you apply to your face before bed to help strengthen and repair the skins barrier.
The results you get from this is truly amazing, and its hardly surprising considering the amount of fantastic ingredients you get in this. You apply the thick cream to your face using the applicator and leave it to sink in for five minutes and then rub in the residue. It’s instantly hydrating and soothing. By morning, your skin is soft, hydrated, glowing and repaired of irritation. When I first applied this, I was expecting it to really break me out. It feels thick and a little bit oily. Having spot-prone skin, I am really cautious when using mask like products as I feel like they tend to break me out. I’m so pleased to announce that I have never broke out using this product. I will always use this after using The Ordinary’s AHA 30% & BHA 2% peel, because this paste will offset any irritation or dryness I get after using the peel.
It works so well for me so I hope it works just as well for others. Anyone who gets irritation after using strong chemical exfoliators, please look this up. I am really intrigued if anyone else has used this? Those with spot-prone skin may wish to tread with caution.
