I got this as a sample from one of my many Sephora orders sometime last year. I decided to try it because I ran out of my regular face cleanser and didn’t feel like purchasing anything yet. I’m also trying to finish all my skincare samples before committing to new ones because…they expire, and I didn’t know!
The TULA Cult Classic Face Cleanser has a very…clean smell. The first time I used it, I thought to myself, “this smells like a chemical.” It smells like regular bar soap, but eventually you get used to it.
It’s lasted me about three weeks so far, and this tiny sample is one fluid ounce. The smallest size you can purchase is 1.67 fluid ounces, which is not too bad. I think it lasts such a short time because I use it morning and night. I’m guessing that the smallest size and only using it as your morning cleanser would stretch it to about 3 months worth of product. At $16CAD, that’s not too bad, in my opinion. That is like the price of something you get at Walmart.
I have combination, acne-prone skin. Everything from my cheekbones up is super oily everything below is dry in the wonter and normal in the summer. It’s advertised as suitable for oily, dry, combo and normal skin, and I would agree. After about 30 minutes without moisturizer though, it does get a bit drying.
Overall, I give it 3.75/5 stars. I think it’s great for those just starting to dip their toes in the skincare game. I think it kept my acne at bay, it didn’t dry me out too much and it worked well with the rest of my skincare routine.
In a comment, let me know if you’ve tried this before and your experience! If you hated it, which simple face cleanser has been your saviour? I’m always looking for good recommendations.
