MooGoo Acne Cleansing Cream Review

Hey everyone! Just wanted to start with an apology for my absence, university exams were slowly crushing my soul for the past month or so but I'm back now with my skincare secret.

I've had hormonal acne since I was 9, started on hormone regulators when I was 15 or so and through my many years of topical treatments and strange remedies there hasn't been anything as effective as this cleansing cream by MooGoo. I used to get breakouts almost every day, and would always have an active pimple on my face. Ever since using MooGoo in conjunction with my current acne-fighting-skin-soothing organic skin care routine, my skin has literally been clear for months. Even during that time of the month, where I am particularly prone to breakouts, my skin is clear. 

Essentially it is a moisturiser with beneficial oils and ingredients that nourish the skin and prevent the natural oils in your pores from going rancid and causing white heads and pimples. It's also brightening, which helps to lighten my acne scars that litter my cheeks and forehead and chin and basically my entire face. It also doesn't have Benzoyl Peroxide, which I actually used when I was 13 and it left me heaps of brown scarring and hyper-pigmentation on my forehead that took years and years to go away.

My scarring and pigmentation are still here. This is a miracle cream and it won't fade your scars right away. But I do see a difference between my old red-purple scars and my now pinkish scars. I'm really hoping that with sun protection and a good skin care regime my skin will be eventually clear for the first time since I was a child :)

MooGoo is honestly one of my favourite companies. It's Australian, they don't test on animals, and they're always really transparent with their ingredients list. Skin care is always on the top of their priorities; even their Earth Cream, which is like a tinted moisturiser with sunscreen, has mostly skincare ingredients and only pigment ingredients for coverage at the bottom of the list.

To learn more about this acne cleansing cream, check out MooGoo's website and their testimonials. Btw this post is absolutely not sponsored and MooGoo doesn't even know I exist lol.

Dusty Girls Earth Cream Review

I first came across Dusty Girls in a random chemist, and I was surprised because I hadn't seen or heard about them before, which is a rarity for me nowadays because I'm quite beauty obsessed. I decided to look up reviews and couldn't really find any, but the ingredients and the DG website were enough for me to make my first purchase, the Earth Cream.

I can see why it's called an Earth Cream, because it's an awesome skincare product with sunscreen and a tint, with natural and healthy ingredients for the skin. It's not just a tinted moisturiser that's for sure, and it's better for your skin than most of the BB creams on the western market.

So I just want to talk about Dusty Girls for a moment. They're the sister brand of MooGoo, which is also an amazing skincare brand (if you have acne, especially white heads, you NEED to try their Acne Cleansing Cream, it has literally saved my skin). Their ingredients are natural and they're also very honest with everything in their products. If you browse their website you'll find articles on different ingredients they use and also on stuff they choose to exclude, proving that a lot of thought on how to maintain healthy skin while wearing makeup has been put into their products.

But back to the Earth Cream. I wore this for almost month straight when I first bought it; it was surprisingly nice coverage, it was silicon free (which is something I like to see in liquid products), it dried to a matte finish and it also had a little SPF in it. I should note that because it is built of more natural ingredients, that this cream doesn't have the same texture as others on the market.

I accidentally pumped out too much - you need maybe half this amount for your whole face!

It pumps out with a mousse like appearance, but it is actually very airy and thin, but at the same time it holds a decent amount of pigment. It also doesn't spread across the skin as evenly as traditional foundations because it doesn't have silicon, but I find if you pat it in with your finger tips it looks the most even. It can also accentuate dry patches, and I imagine this was formulated with more oily skinned people in mind, but I find it works fine with a good moisturiser underneath. 

It comes in two shades, light and medium, but from the reviews and also my experience, I think that the shades are actually quite versatile because of the light coverage hence sheer colour. I use the colour light and it's a little too neutral for my olive toned skin, but it manages to adjust a little after half an hour or so.

I definitely recommend this for people who are looking for a lighter coverage, who want a everyone-in-one product that is actually good for the skin. I think it's perfect for sensitive skins, especially the for those with a skin type that breaks out with shifty ingredients.

You can look for the stocklist on the Dusty Girls website or just buy online, and I know they chuck in a couple of samples along with online orders :)

August Favourites!

Natio Ageless Organic Rosehip Oil, MooGoo Acne Cleansing Cream

 It's been a couple months since I've shared with you my favourites, so I decided to because I've been having some really great luck with my products lately.

Let's start off with my skin care:

The Acne Cleansing Cream by MooGoo has been my skin care saviour for the past few months. I even bought a second one to keep at my boyfriend's to minimise the breakouts. It doesn't have Benzoyl Peroxide, which I used back in the day and it just dried out my skin and made it more sensitive. This has natural ingredients that naturally brighten and lighten my acne scars, and it also keeps my oily skin balanced.

I got the Natio Ageless Organic Rosehip Oil at a Priceline sale, and it has been amazing. I've used RHO before by Trilogy and I've never seen such beautiful and glowy results before. I massage this into my skin before bed and it leaves my skin the softest and the healthiest it has ever been.

Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Toner

I also picked up Thursday Plantation's Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Toner at the Priceline sale, and I wish I'd tried this out years ago, when my acne was at its worst. Since using this I haven't had a single new breakout. I use it pretty much every time after I cleanse my skin, so 2-3 times a day, and it's amazing how much stuff it gets off (that I didn't realise was on my face to begin with). It also smells so fresh and is a great pick-me-up step in the morning.

Choose Chi Chi Eau De Parfum Persimmon

And last of all I wanted to share my new scent with you; I recently finished Chi Chi's Watermelon perfume, and decided to try another one. I'm not one for owning many scents, just because I know I won't be able to get through them all. So I've been wearing this every day, and it smells so sweet and yummy. It smells like lollies straight up when you first spray it, but after it settles into your skin it turns almost musky and floral. An absolute gorgeous scent that lasts, and I'm in love with the packaging too.

So there you go! Feel free to share with me your favourites of the month, and link below your blog if you want me to check it out!
