This so called sensitive skin face wash is in fact
Paintstripper. Bought it 3 years ago and it burnt my face off. Went bright red after one wash and face was stinging and burning 🔥. So I threw it away and went to other sensitive skin brands. To my horror it has stayed on the market until now. I have just purchased from a well known auction site the loreal men expert hydra sensitive birch sap face wash. It is brilliant. I was on here reviewing it three years ago. Anyway it's looking like loreal are bringing it back. They are going to ditch the paints tripper and maybe bring back the brilliant birch sap sensitive face wash. And about time too. Here's hoping.......
Product Details
Magnesium Defence Facial Cleansing For Men With Sensitive Skin is formulated with Magnesium Mineral and Hyaluronic Acid to protect and hydrate the skin. Gently cleanses and removes impurities while maintaining the skin's natural protective barrier function.
L'Oréal Paris Men Expert Magnesium Defence Face Cleanser 100ml is a hypoallergenic daily cleansing solution specially developed for men with sensitive skin. With the protective properties of Magnesium, this unique formula is able to efficiently cleanse the skin without completely stripping it. On the contrary, the Magnesium Defence Face Cleanser actually helps to maintain the functions of the skin’s natural barrier, preventing irritation and protecting from damage.
This cleanser eliminates impurities that come from environmental aggressors, and its protective action prevents the adherence of pollution particles on the skin.
Infused with Hyaluronic Acid, the Magnesium Defence Face Cleanser also has hydrating properties, leaving the skin smooth and replenished after every application.
Read on to find out how Hyaluronic Acid works on the skin.

Impressive silky wash that deeply cleanses
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really impressed with this face wash. First impressions were of how light and almost oil-like it's consistency is. Some face washes can be thick and gel like but I was intrigued by the new formula. Pleasant fresh ocean smell that lingered after use. I used it morning and evening for a week to get a real feel for its effects. I'd actually had a small breakout before using due to a mishap with a sheet mask and luckily within a few days of using this wash it cleared up and my face remains evidence free. My skin feels deeply cleansed, free of impurities and refreshed

BRILLIANT FOR OILY SKIN
This face was has saved my oily/acne prone skin! Yes it leaves my face feeling dry but I love that as I hate being oily and getting spots and this face wash has massively helped prevent my spots coming back and makes me feel like I’ve deep cleaned my face
every time I use. Me and my boyfriend share this product as we both found that our skin has improved since using it! For reference I’m 21 (female) and he’s 22 (male). A little product goes a long way too so takes us a while to finish it and doesn’t overload our face with foam either which we like.Recommends this productYesOriginally posted on loreal-paris.co.uk -

Good for sensitive and mixed skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With my mixed skin type - easily over drying around the nose area and greasy in other areas - this face wash manages to balance everything out perfectly. I've been using it twice a day, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without causing any irritation or dryness.
The face wash lathers well and rinses off easily, leaving no residue behind. I also appreciate that it has no strong fragrance, making it suitable for anyone who prefers a more neutral scent.

A wee package that goes a long way
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Magnesium defence hypoallergenic face wash. Nice texture, smells really nice, leaves my skin feeling like it’s had a deep clean. I feel hydrated after using it which is great as I suffer from dry patches on my skin, so that’s a winner! And I only need a wee bit, so don’t be fooled by the small packaging, it last quite a long time!

Taking things to a new level
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another stellar mens product. Absolutely incredible. For someone with sensitive skin I always use the Men Expert range with no issues but this is a game changer. At 41 I really want to look after my skin and with 0% alcohol this is something I have desired for a long time. Skin feels fresh and I have a real glow

Nice face wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Never been a big user of face wash but thought I would try this. You don’t need a lot and it doesn’t all run out etc when you gently squeeze the tube. It lathers up nicely and after washing it off your face does feel nice and clean. My teenage son loves it and seems to have decided to use it all the time.

Superior face wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This feels really gentle and it does not dry out my skin like a lot of face washes. It really seems to get rid of all dirt & even sun cream. It smells great as well and I like that it seems to moisturise my skin a little when I use it. This is what I expect for L'Oreal and I would recommend it.

Great face wash

Magnesium Hypoallergenic Face Wash
I found this face wash dries out the skin despite it having 0% alcohol and containing Hyaluronic acid. It is better suited to people with oily skin not dry skin. Shame Loreal Menexpert don't make any face wash that is moisturising and non drying

Magnesium moisturiser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Another good moisturiser from L'Oréal. A bit thicker than the rest of their range - I presume for the 24 hour element of it. Smells nice, seems to do the trick skin wise. Cant say much for the Magnesium side of it, but I would buy again.

Like the lack of strong fragrance

Good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great product. Smells nice. But only use a all amount and quite messy on face clothes. It does dry your face out a bit so use a moisturiser after washing of course....the Loreal one that goes with this is a good one.
