Advantages: soothes irritated skin

Disadvantages: smells of the sea

Aqua Marina is described as best as a cleanser for sensitive skin and skin which can be problematic. It gets its lovely pink colour from the calamine in it, and it's lovely fishy smell from the seaweed! There is obviously no fish in this cleanser.

It doesn't smell amazing, but not everything that is good for you does! The seaweed is so nourishing to your skin adding moisture, and the calamine calms any redness down. Personally i tried this cleanser to see how it felt, but it wasn't suitable for my skin type as I'm more combination than sensitive.

But if you have an itchy face and occasional breakouts with dry patches, i'd really recommend Aqua Marina as it really does moisturise while cleansing, and my skin was so so soft! Nearly as soft as with Angels on bare skin (which i am devoted to now).

If you don't want an exfoliating cleanser, and you have sensitive or temperamental skin, this is a really good choice! It almost feels like play-doh or putty in your hands. The best way to use it is to keep your tub in a cool dry place, and pinch off a small piece of the cleanser with dry hands (so as not to create mold) then mix with water to form a paste. Massage into your face and neck and then wash off.

BENEFITS
- Very gentle on your skin
- calms any redness or irritation
- really good after you've slightly sun burned your face.

DISAPPOINTED BY..
- The fact it doesn't really help breakouts that much.
- There was a trail of seaweed left in my sink..
- Wish they could add some more essential oils while still keeping it a gentle cleanser, simply to mask the strong smell of the seaweed.

Summary: I tried this to feel like a mermaid
