Here's a multi-tasker for those of you who prefer a more streamlined routine. Tarte's Frixxxtion is a triple threat stick that exfoliates, cleanses and works as a face mask. The formulation utilizes Tarte's "diatomaceous earth microexfoliants" (aka fossilized sea algae) and is ideal for zapping oil, brightening the complexion and reducing pore size.
Neogen is another Korean skin-care brand, and it's known for its innovative formulations and usage of natural ingredients. Their Green Tea Cleansing Stick is a collaboration with Charlotte Cho, the founder of Korean e-commerce site Soko Glam. It combines actual pieces of green tea in the stick (hence the name) and 13 different natural oils to melt away makeup and daily buildup.
Don't be fooled by the super cute packaging and inclusion of the oh-so-sweet peach blossom ingredient. This stick cleanser is potent when it comes to nixing acne, thanks to salicylic acid. It's ideal for acne-prone and oily skin types, and for those who want to diminish pore size.
A little pearl extract and coconut oil can go a long way when it comes to a cleanser. H2O's "do your face a solid" cleansing stick contains both. The pearl extract nourishes and gives skin a proper boost, while coconut oil moisturizes skin for a silky finish.
By fusing fruit enzymes with natural oils, Julep's cleansing stick is able to provide a deep-down, gentle cleanse that still leaves skin feeling soft. The pomegranate fruit enzymes provide a non-abrasive exfoliation, the rice bran oil and grapefruit oil thoroughly cleanse and camellia seed oil hydrates.
