Transcript excerpt

This is Cerave SA smoothing cleanser. I got this cleanser for 4,500, and honestly, this cleanser is actually very good. Okay, the reason why I said it's very good, because I got this cleanser because of my pimples, because of my acne. Then I started using it. I started using— I got it for the pepper day, and I started using it for my, for my face. Okay, one thing you should watch out for is because this a particular cleanser is an exfoliant. You are not meant to use exfoliant every day. That was what I did. I was using this cleanser as a daily use cleanser. I was using it every day, morning and night, morning and night. This literally stripped my skin of the natural source. It did some damages before I now noticed that, oh, it's an exfoliant and I'm not supposed to use it every day. So I started using it I started using it once, okay, 3 times in a week, 3 times in a week. Because if you don't use it 3 times in a week, you, you are trying to treat acne but you actually have more acne and you have a very, very dry face because the cleanser dries, it dries your face so much. I didn't know it was an exfoliant itself, but it was not later, I later read through the, um, instruction and then I noticed that it's an exfoliant. So if you want to use it, it's actually very, very good for acne, but But mind you, don't use it for everyday use. It's not for everyday use. It's not for everyday use. It— use it, use it 3 times in a week, highest 4 times in a week, because that's the only way you enjoy the cleanser.
