New face cleanser on the beauty block is BIORE Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser. It is not fragrance-free however it is oil-free.

BIORE Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser Deep Cleansing-The 'magic' is in its Skin Purifying Technology to clean & balance your face

The bottle dispenses a clear gel but when you massage into face the gel turns into a rich moisturizing lather. It feels clinging to the skin so I can feel it working in removing dirt, and it feels very refreshing. Like it wakes me up kinda feel. So, nice rich cleanser without the oil sounds like a good deal to me. Make sure you, like any facial cleansers, to not get the product into your eyes.

Celebrtiy Makeup Artist Melanie Inglesis used Biore’s new Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser to prep Stacy Keibler’s skin for the 2012 Oscars.

“Before I start applying makeup, I make sure my clients have clean, fresh skin,” says Melanie. “That’s why I prepped Stacy’s skin by cleansing with the new Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser. Then I created a beautiful, dewy look that lets her natural skin shine through. I wanted to achieve a young, fresh look that didn’t overshadow the dress.”

Also prepped by Melanie Inglesis Olivia Wilde.

“For Olivia Wilde’s Oscars after-party look, I first prepped her skin using Biore Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser to make sure her skin was balanced and fresh,” says Melanie. “Then we channeled Studio 54 for a sexy 70s vibe, creating a smokey creamy eye and nude lip.”

How Biore Mandarin Blossom Nose Strips work? Like the original strips, Biore Mandarin Blossom Nose Strips bond to the dirt and oil that have settled in each pore and lifts out pore-clogging agents, removing weeks of build-up in just 10 minutes. With continued use of Biore Mandarin Blossom Nose Strips, the appearance of pores dimishes and your overall complexion is cleaner, fresher, and healthier looking.

From the expert: “Just washing your face is not enough, ” says Dermatologist Diane Berson. “It is the dirt and oil below the surface that can really cause complexion problems. I recommend taking a hot shower to open up pores, washing face with Biore Blemish Fighting Ice Cleanser which will provide a better surface to adhere strip. Then use a Biore Mandarin Blossom Nose Strips once a week to keep pores clean and clog-free deep below the surface.”

Price: $5.99 for 8 strips. Where to find them: Select food, drug and massmerchant stores. For more information, visit: www.biore.com
