BANOBAGI CALMING CARE CLEANSING GEL TO FOAM

Banobagi Calming Care Cleansing Gel To Foam is a gentle cleanser specially formulated with gel and foam formula to draw out impurities from your skin for a deep cleanse while providing extra hydrating benefits, leaving the skin feeling soft and moisturised. This pH-balanced cleanser is formulated with Calamine powder to soothe and reduce redness and irritations. It contains three types of hyaluronic acid for plump, hydrated skin after cleansing. Infused with skin-soothing ingredients such as allantoin, the blue complex, patented red snow complex and protocatechuic acid from camellia flower. The cleanser strengthens the skin’s protective barrier without leaving an irritating residue, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

The cleanser tube has a beautiful design and is easy to use. I prefer a pump, but this way is also alright. It contains lavender and chamomile, so the scent smells softly after these herbs, which I find pleasing. The gel cleanser forms soft bubbles cleaning my face without irritation. My skin is fresh and hydrated, with no tight feelings. I like this cleanser and the rest of the calming care products. Sofia, 19

BANOBAGI CALMING CARE MOISTURE PAD

Ultra-gentle yet powerful one-step pads to cleanse, refine, soothe, brighten, and hydrate in just one swipe for an immediate skin-smoothing effect. It contains lactobionic acid, a PHA ideal for removing dead skin cells when you have a sensitive skin type. Lotus extract keeps the skin soothed and moist, while the Centella extract restores your skin's moisture barrier.

The essence contains ten types of sodium hyaluronate, the salt form of hyaluronic acid synthesised to create a smaller molecular structure for stability and increased resistance to oxidation. Its smaller molecular structure and water solubility mean it can penetrate deeper into the skin, providing intense hydration beyond its surface.

The pads have two differently structured sides: the embossed side for removing dead skin cells and waste and the soft side for extra hydration and moisture. The pads, made from 100% natural cotton sheets, have a unique shape designed by Banobagi to adjust to your face: easily used around the eyes, nose or forehead.

The pads have a fantastic shape. I like to put them on my dry and sensitive cheeks and keep them there for at least 10 minutes. The result is immediately soothed and moist skin. I used them twice a day, and I noticed that my skin tone and texture are more even, and my skin is brighter and fresh looking. It is easy to use, and the results are excellent. I love the gentle scent of roses.

BANOBAGI CALMING CARE MOISTURISING CREAM

The formula stars Blue Complex made from six soothing anti-inflammatory blue botanical extracts and patented Red Snow ingredients made from camellia flower to combat the effects of pollution. In addition, ten types of hyaluronic acid and rose extract moisturise skin, lotus and Centella extracts soothe skin, and allantoin and ceramide reinforce skin’s natural barrier. It has a non-greasy and non-sticky gel texture and absorbs smoothly into the skin. It is ideal for oily skin too.

The gel-type cream is an excellent choice for my combination skin. My skin cannot tolerate rich, heavy creams, so this water bomb gel cream is ideal. The texture is light, and the cream absorbs smoothly, leaving my skin dewy, moist, hydrated and fresh looking. It is perfect for hot summer days but can suffice in winter if your skin is not too dry.
