Zia Fresh Cleansing Gel vs AFE Camomile Cleanser

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I havent found the ZIA Cleansing Gel drying.In fact it seems to moisturize

the skin. And believe me my skin is dry to the point of flaking! I dont see

Cetyl Alcohol listed in the ingredients on the bottle.

The Chamomoile cleanser sounds good. Also the makeup. Thanks for the info

on the products.Hope all of it works for you. Sounds like your skin is doing

good other than the dryness. Does the AFE line carry a moisturizer that you

can try?

I am reading great things about Zia but was wondering if anyone has experienced

a degree of dryness after cleansing. The ingredients listed for Zia include

Cetyl alcohol which could cause dryness for some users depending on percentage

contained in formulation.

I have purchased the AFE Camomile Cleanser and find it extremely soothing and

calming and my redness has been reduced incredibly. The only problem I am

experiencing is dryness after use. Anyone else experiencing dryness from AFE?

even though my skin has never looked more radiant and clear.

As for those looking for a new foundation that covers redness and is not drying.

I received a sample from AFE (same company that sells the Camomile Cleanser) of

their custom blend enriched foundation. Although I was reluctant to try this

foundation because it was not oil free I absolutely LOVE it for its smooth, non

irritating texture and beautiful coverage . I have extremely dry skin. I have

experienced no breakouts whatsoever after 4 days of use and am delighted so

far. I would recommend sending for a sample before purchasing entire

foundation which is very expensive, especially the custom blend. Check out the

AFE website for more info on the custom blend foundation at www.cosmetics.com.

Phone Number for AFE is . I am also awaiting a sample of their

blotchiness treatment cream, formulated for those with rosacea and will report

the results. Good luck!

The stuff you're using sounds great! The Zia cleanser I'm using does not

contain any alcohol. I noticed at the store that they make another

moisturizing cleanser which does, so maybe you have the other product? Mine

is a gel cleanser with algae extract in it and it looks like green slime! I

don't find it irritating at all-in fact, I'm very glad I switched from

cetaphil, with which I thought I was happy.

more elegantly............

Hi Katey,

Yup, that's the other one I saw. I bought mine at the Whole Foods Market (I

live in Texas) and the only info. on the bottle is a phone number:

1- It's called Zia Fresh Cleansing Gel with Sea Algae Extract,

and the ingredients are as follows:

deionized water, PEG-7, Glyceryl Cocoate, Methylcellulose, sucrose cocoate,

xanthan gum, glycerin, sea algae extract, sodium copper chlorophyllin,

essential oil of ylang ylang, sodium hydroxymethyl glycinate, tetrasodium

EDTA.

Hope you can find some! It has a strong natural smell, but I think it's

much better for my face. I didn't turn red after using the cetaphil, but my

face always felt a little sore when I was applying my metrogel and I always

assumed that it was just time for more medicine rather than that the washing

I had just done was responsible. I no longer feel sensitive when applying

the metrogel, so is must be the change in cleanser.
