Colbert MD is an ultra-luxe skincare line that is the creation of critically acclaimed dermatologist, and founder of New York Dermatology Group, Dr. David Colbert. I have been using Dr. Colbert's skincare for many years now, and it steadfastly remains one of my very favorite skincare lines. This carefully edited collection features the highest quality products that boast enviably efficacy, delectable textures, and they are a true joy to use.
Colbert MD Balance Purifying Cleanser is an antioxidant-rich gel-based cleanser that is ultra refreshing, and it neither strips the skin, nor is it left taut and uncomfortable. The gel is itself transformed into a light lather with the introduction of water, and it provides the skin with gentle, mom-irritating exfoliation without any gritty exfoliating particles. Instead, Lactic Acid gently removes dead skin cells, while Ginkgo Biloba purifies the skin and provides natural anti-bacterial benefits. Furthermore, Allantoin, an anti-irritant, protects the skin while Bisabolol soothes and calms the skin.
I use this cleanser one of two ways: I apply it directly to my face and allow it to sit as a mask for a few minuted to allow the Lactic Acid to remove and dissolve dead skin cells, and then I apply warm water and gently massage in a circular motion to my face, neck and décolleté. When I don't need extra exfoliation, I simply apply a modest amount to my hands and activate the light lather before massaging it into my damp face, neck and décolleté. With either method, my skin is left silky-smooth, supple and as soft as a baby's bottom.

I remember you writing about Colbert MD skincare in the past. In spite of the fact, that I always think of Stephen and his fake pharma advertising when I hear the brand name, Colbert MD is very appealing: serious skincare with great ingredients. I know I would love this cleanser
ReplyDeleteI know, that association is absolutely hilarious! Colbert MD is a truly extraordinary skincare line, and this is a very effective cleanser! I definitely think that you would be very impressed by this cleanser! Skin feels and looks so clean and refreshed!
DeleteI prefer this cleanser over the Radical and Shiseido cleansers. For some reason, I really do not like the Radical cream cleanser.
ReplyDeleteOf the three, this is my favorite as well. I love how fresh and clean this is, and it leaves my skin so soft– without stripping it!
DeleteAnd you only need a tiny, tiny bit.
DeleteAnd you only need a tiny, tiny bit.
DeleteI absolutely agree with you that you really only do need the tiniest amount for great results. This is really one of my very favorite cleansers!
DeleteSounds like the perfect cleanser for you. I have to stick to creamy ones for dry skin.
ReplyDeleteIt really does a remarkably job cleansing without stripping the skin. I can definitely see why you would want to stick to the creamy ones, but this i definitely non-irritating and gentle.
DeleteMy skin leans towards dry and is quite dry in the winter. I still prefer it to the Shiseido creamy ones.
DeleteI certainly can see why, Cindy! It's really great to hear that your dry skin thrves using this cleanser!
DeleteI have sensitive skin so I always love exfoliants that are not gritty and irritating.
ReplyDeleteThen this would definitely appeal to you, Tiki! :-)
DeleteI'd love to try more of the Colbert MD line. The little I've tried has been outstanding. This sounds perfect.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you about Colbert MD! This is such an extraordinary line, and this is a really fantastic cleanser!
DeleteOh wow, sounds like a true HG for you!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely is! It's gentle, yet very effective!
DeleteYou always feature the best skin care! I can't use this right now because it contains salicylic acid, but it sounds nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie! That means a lot coming from you! You definitely want to avoid it because of the Salicylic Acid, though!
DeleteI have yet to try this brand, but this does sound like a cleanser I'd love. I've used something similar from Philosophy and find the daily exfoliation really benefits my skin.
ReplyDeleteColbert MD definitely deserves to be on your must-try list, Bailey! I have used their products for years, and have never been disappointed with anything from the line!
DeleteOMG Your name is on it!!! I loveeeee that!
ReplyDeleteDon't I wish!!! That's my watermark, but the fonts are so close that it looks like Dr. Colbert may have put it there!
DeleteI have something from this brand and I can't figure out what or where it is... but I'm heard nothing but fab things about it and can't wait to try it out.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you find it, Honey! Colbert MD is such an amazing line!
