Review (5/5): Higher Education NO BRAINER Effectively and Thoroughly Cleanses My Face without Drying It Out!
Eight months ago, I retired and moved from Virginia to Tennessee. The change in environment, I believe, is what contributed to my complexion becoming extremely dry. In the mornings, I began waking up with red, flaking, irritated, inflamed patches of skin beneath my eyes, at the corners of my nose, and at the sides of my mouth. After a month of using a very expensive moisturizer four times a day, the patches of damaged skin were eventually healed. I feared that the patches would reappear after I finished using the high-end moisturizer. Thankfully, I received the opportunity to review three facial hygiene products from Higher Education: NO BRAINER Gentle Skin Cleanser, GOAL DIGGER Moisturizing Cucumber Crème, and MBA Night Renewing Serum. These are strange names for three products that have worked wonderfully. I have faithfully used them all every day for three weeks.
Let me say that I am a fifty-six-year-old Caucasian male with a raunchy complexion. I still get pimples occasionally. My skin can tend to be oily but if I wash it too much it becomes very dry. The NO BRAINER Gentle Skin Cleanser is one of the few cleansers that actually cleans my face without drying out my skin. After I use it, my skin still feels soft and supple. In the mornings, I wash my face with the NO BRAINER before I shave. Then I take a shower. Even after I step out of the shower, my face still feels soft and supple, not like a piece of dry leather. The cleanser tends to add moisture rather than take it away. Also, I can use it twice a day without worrying about it drying out my skin. When I first moved to Tennessee, my face became so dry that I could only wash it in the mornings and I could only shave every other day. Now I am back to washing my face twice a day and shaving every day. I feel cleaner and more ready to face the world when I am clean shaven every day. Also, I wake up the next morning with fewer pimples if I am able to wash my face before going to bed.
The green gooey substance in the tube is easy to apply to my face and easy to wash off. It feels luxuriously pleasant on my face. The cleanser has a faint, pleasant scent that is neither masculine or feminine. Neither does it linger after I have used it. The six fluid-ounce tube was received inside a sturdy cardboard box with company literature inside. A tabbed piece of gray metallic tin foil covered the tube's nozzle. This foil was intended to prevent accidental leakage and spillage during shipping and to also serve as a deterrent in case someone wanted to contaminate its contents. There is an expiration date on the bottom of the box and one on the back of the tube's crimp: EXP:09/21. This is an excellent date. This cleanser should be used up long before then.
Most importantly, I have been using this superb hygiene product for at least three weeks and haven't experienced any allergic reactions such as acne, boils, hives, rashes, etc. I am very happy with it. If you are searching for a facial cleanser that is soothing, gentle, and hydrating (it won't dry out your skin), then I highly recommend the NO BRAINER Gentle Skin Cleanser from Higher Education.
