Best Acne Cleanser for Sensitive Skin

Miel Honey™ Cleanser

The second step in Dr.TWL Dermaceuticals 7 Days Recovery Kit is the Miel Honey™ Cleanser. As opposed to the commercial cleansers which contains SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate), Miel Honey™ Cleanser protects our skin barrier and maintains the moisture in our skin, keeping it supple. It thoroughly cleanses the skin with a blend of botanical emulsifiers consisting of- Medical Grade Natural Honey, Arnica Montana flower extract, Artemisia Vulgaris and other botanicals.

Le Lait™ Cleansing Milk and Miel Honey™ Cleanser complement each other to serve the purpose of double cleansing. According to Dr. Teo Wan Lin, a consultant dermatologist at TWL Specialist Skin and Laser Centre, ” Traditional cleansers are usually based on SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) which I would not recommend, as these are the cheapest form of lathering agents available to cleanse skin and would strip skin dry and may even cause reactive seborrhea (overproduction of more oil).”

Secondly, honey contains antioxidants which aids in anti-aging. Elements found in honey reduces the fine lines on your skin. Furthermore, in a climate like Singapore, our skin is susceptible to environmental damages. The oxidative feature of honey will help to hydrate as well as repair our skin.

Thirdly, honey can effortlessly provide a radiant glow. It contains enzymes, vitamins and minerals that hydrates, cleanses and nourishes your skin thoroughly.

(Just a caution: Try not to use honey in a dry environment. It may end up removing moisture from your own skin). In addition, honey is also a complexion booster. The organic acid found in honey is a good source of skin exfoliation, hence improving dull-looking complexions.
