These are all something like micro-reviews/first impressions. I got pH strips and have been entertaining myself looking for things to test; here are some new products in my collection.Sonia Kashuk "Resurface" Gentle Exfoliating Wash, Target, $15/4.2 oz/125 ml, pH ~7 CosDNAingredientsWater (aqua), diatomaceous earth, glyceryl stearate se, stearic acid, glyceryl stearate, cocamide mea, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, sodium cocoyl isethionate, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate, propanediol, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol, glycerin, vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, glycyrrhiza glabra (licorice) root extract, rheum rhaponticum root extract, cyathea medullaris leaf extract, ethylhexylglycerin, steareth-21, ceteareth-20, panthenol, polyquaternium-7, aloe barbadensis leaf juice powder, methyldihydrojasmonate, carbomer, disodium edta, sodium hydroxide, phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate, benzyl alcohol, methylisothiazolinone, titanium dioxide (ci 77891)Things I like:* Not expensive* Great for exfoliating legs pre-shave* Unscented and fragrance free* Licorice root extract (!)* Non-foaming, non-oilyThings I don't:* Fine grains (diatomaceous earth) but too rough for most face useSonia Kashuk "Renew" Micro Exfoliating Toner, $15/5.7 oz/170 ml, pH 4, TargetingredientsNot listed online, and I'm too lazy to type it out right now. Good: more licorice! Bad: citrus fruit extracts! Meh: witch hazel!Things I like:* pH okay* seems to be doing something* no fragrance* is an okay toner, packaging/dispenser is nice* no alcoholThings I don't:* lacks straightforward/proven exfoliating ingredients* unknown quantities of AHA from fruit sourcesPacifica "Sea Foam" Complete Face Wash, $8-10/5 oz/147 ml, Ulta/Target/etc, pH ~5, CosDNAingredientsPurified Water, Cocomidopropyl Betaine (Coconut Source), Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate (Coconut Source), Sodium Cocoyl Sulfoacetate (Coconut Source), Sodium Cocoamphoacetate, Decyl Glucoside (Corn Source), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Glycerin (Vegetable), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Glycol Stearate, Carica Papaya Extract, Lemon Bioflavanoids, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, , Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Water, Citric Acid, Tocopherol Acetate, Panthenol, Napca, Allantoin, Nori Extract, Garcinia Mangostana Peel Extract (Mangosteen), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (White Tea), Sea Algae Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance (All Natural).Things I like:* Nice amount of lather (on par with other low-pH cleansers)* Does a good job removing sunscreen, makeup, and everything else in one go* Good pH* Leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight/dryThings I don't:* Coconut oil content means this isn't for everyone* Includes fragrance (mild/coconutty and last on list, but still)* Burns my eyes really, really badly if it gets in them at allI don't know if I'll repurchase these in the future (since I'm just starting out using them) but figured others could use the reference. Also: the Sonia Kashuk face oil is dumb and don't even bother with it. Also: once the SK face mask shows up at Target, I'll be trying that also. Also!Any tried any of these and have insights? I'm looking forward to what comes out of the Sonia Kashuk skincare line--there are supposed to be several new products being launched throughout the next few months.Edited: formatting.ETA: Toner ingredients.
