![]() ![]() Sulfates are a large group of ingredients which act as cleansing agents in Cosmetics. Which Ingredients are classified as Paraben?Ī product will be paraben-free if it does not contain any of the following parabens: If not, don't worry about it - they do have had one of the longest safety records as preservatives! If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon. There's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. It’s as if I’ve finally found the missing piece to my personal skin-care puzzle, where all the other toners I’ve tried never truly fit.Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations. The most annoying pores look much smaller, too. Even as I glare into the mirror - prodding at my nostrils to double check - they no longer polka-dot my skin. Then there’s what I can’t see: blackheads on the sides of my nose that have bothered me forever. It’s almost as though the toner is blotting my skin for me. That’s the science behind what’s happening, but what I’ve seen for myself is a big difference in oiliness. Since I was unfamiliar with the latter two ingredients, I turned to dermatologist Debra Jaliman, who explained that moringa hydrates while antioxidant-rich papaya unclogs pores and smoothes skin texture - together, they help ease the exfoliating salicylic acid in the bottle. The toner contains acne-fighting BHA along with moringa-seed extract and papaya enzymes, which have turned out to be a near magical trio for my skin. I’ve been using Deep Sweep daily for more than a month now, and its combination-and-oily-skin-specific formula has helped me with my greatest skin-care concerns: greasiness (I’ve been known to compare myself to a melting Goober candle), blackheads, and very visible pores. And Deep Sweep worked just as well with my morning skin care. That’s been a problem I’ve had with other toners (including Chanel’s blue-tinted $52 Le Tonique). I rotate through a number of “lotions and potions” in my nighttime routine, and everything from First Aid Beauty’s acne-treatment pads to Sunday Riley’s CEO cream to Fresh’s floral overnight mask soaked right in, rather than taking forever to dry down. I was also impressed with how it prepared my skin for the products I used afterward. It didn’t leave any tackiness, like how your face feels after you pull off a sheet mask. It just took a few seconds for my skin to devour the Deep Sweep. Its scent is best described as fresh and clean, and the moment I tried the toner after cleansing - swiping it onto my skin with a cotton pad - I liked how invigorating it felt, like splashing cool water on your face on an especially hot day. ![]() So when I recently finished another bottle of toner that I wouldn’t repurchase, I decided to try Farmacy’s well-reviewed Deep Sweep, partly for its intriguing name.ĭeep Sweep comes in a pistachio-hued glass bottle in line with the beauty company’s botanical branding. Some left my face feeling sticky, while others were too tightening. It’s hard to find a formula that’s helps with oiliness but isn’t ridiculously drying. I’ve tried Darphin’s chamomile-charged Intral, Caudalie’s grape-logoed Vinoclean, and a very pretty rose-petal option from Fresh, to name a few - and I didn’t love any of them. But I’ve spent a small fortune over the years trying to find a toner that will help me look less shiny without being too harsh. I’m not such a skin-care neophyte anymore. But I didn’t mind the redness on my cheeks or the splotchiness on my forehead this was back in the era of orange-juice-colored Clean & Clear and apricot-emblazoned St.Ives, when stinging was supposed to mean a product was really working. The first time I tried one - a witch-hazel-heavy concoction - it felt like my face was on fire. I’ve always used toners for their oil-taming potential.
