Review (3/5): Contains “Preservative” that Irritates Sensitive Skin—Burns Eye Area
This face wash by Whitney Jean is a clear gel with no smell so I had high hopes for it being safe for sensitive skin/areas. Unfortunately when washing near my eyes as it’s advertised as “makeup remover” it irritates my eyes a bunch so much to where it burned. It took over half an hour for the stinging/burning sensation to completely go away.
This prompted me to look more into the ingredient list which is shown and has a lot of things—most which are natural which is great however the last ingredient “Ethylhexylglycerin” which is a preservative and turns is not good for you especially if you have sensitive skin. I tried to include a image result of what google said but my review keeps getting flagged for it, but in short: “ethylhexylglycerin is not safe due to its performance as a contact allergen. People with sensitive skin and existing skin conditions are more likely to be impacted by products containing this ingredient”.
It did remove my makeup well but at the cost of a burning feeling around my eyes for over half an hour it’s not worth it if I only can clean half my face with it especially for $20…
