1. Learning Curve
Lush Cosmetics’ “Baby face” cleanser is a bit of an unusual product in many ways. To start with, although it is a solid cleanser in bar form, it isn’t a traditional soap so it doesn’t lather. Instead of lathering, you melt a bit of Lush Cosmetics’ “Babyface” cleanser onto your palms with warm water, and then rub the slick, creamy substance into your skin. Getting the hang of this process isn’t difficult, but it definitely takes a few tries. The learning curve that you’ll experience before you master the unique process of using Lush Cosmetics’ “Babyface” cleanser means that instant gratification is definitely not in the picture.

2. Difficult To Remove
Once you’ve applied Lush Cosmetics’ “Babyface” cleanser, things get a little bit tricky. Simply splashing water on your face, the way you would after washing with a scrub or a regular soap, won’t do a thing. Instead, you’ll need to wet a soft washcloth with warm water, and then gently wipe away the cleanser, which carries away the dirt, grime, and makeup. However, because Lush Cosmetics’ “Babyface” cleanser is pretty greasy, this isn’t as easy as it sounds. You’ll probably have to go over your face at least two or three times, constantly rinsing out your washcloth as you go.

3. Time Consuming
Between melting the bar in your hands, massaging it in to your skin, and going through the labor-intensive process of wiping away most of the residue, using Lush Cosmetics’ “Babyface” cleanser takes a bit of time. If you want skin care in a hurry, you definitely don’t want Lush Cosmetics’ “Babyface” cleanser.

Takeaways
  • Unique product design makes usage a bit tricky to master.
  • Best as one part of a multi-product regimen, rather than as an all-in-one skincare solution.
  • Best for very limited skin types: good for dry skin, and for dry areas on combination skin.
