Sophyto Deep Pore Foaming Cleanser & Mega Omegas Moisturizer

sophyto2.jpegWhat They Say: (about the cleanser) "A totally natural solution compared to harsh glycolic and other hydroxy acids, this instant foaming cleanser transforms into a delicate, creamy mousse to help gently dissolve and lift surface debris and airborne pollutants. Bio-compatible fruit acids and enzymes derived from complete, whole food nutrients help to gently loosen the bond of dead skin cells to accelerate dermal regeneration resulting in a fresher, healthier complexion. A perfect cleanser to prep the skin for the penetration of bioactive ingredients present in all Sophyto products."

sophyto.jpg(about the moisturizer) "A lightweight corrective and protective hydrating daily moisturizer. Imparts optimum levels of organically derived essential fatty acids to help restore moisture, elasticity and tone to the epidermis. Helps support skins natural barrier function providing long-lasting hydration from damaging environmental aggressors. This luxurious formula also serves as a hydrating primer before mineral or liquid make up application."

Jamie's Thoughts: Man, I hate to be a buzzkill, but I cannot recommend either of these products. For this price (and organic hype), I definitely expected more.

Regarding the cleanser: First off, I love love LOVE that this product is comprised almost entirely of organic ingredients. Kudos to Sophyto! I really do encourage all the Delush readers to challenge the idea that beauty products have to be full of synthetic stuff to be "good." Unfortunately, this cleanser simply does not live up to my standards. The foam is nearly flat - it falls apart when I try and apply it to my face. The scent they claim it has (a mild apple) is nonexistent, and I truly didn't feel it did anything to remove my make-up (another claim of the parent company). This is a pass.

Regarding the moisturizer: Texture? LOVE. Smell? Non-existent (LOVE). Effectiveness? DON'T LOVE. I would have liked to be able to use this in the winter months, because I have a sinking feeling it was simply too thick for summer use (at least for my complexion). And it doesn't have any SPF coverage, which is a major dealbreaker for this fair-haired girl. I was oily in the T-zone by lunch, and feeling/looking greasy by the end of the work day. Yuck. That said, it may not be the perfect option for me - however, I do think it would be a fantastic choice for dry/combo complexions, particularly those with troubled/stressed skin. It's calming and light.

I think you hit on the problem of using organic products...they usually DO need all of the synthetic stuff to make them good! I feel terrible saying that, but so few live up to their claims and you have to spend more because they are organic. Kind of a sticky situation and not sure if it is worth the $ if they don't do the trick.
