Starface is the brand behind attention-grabbing pimple patches that are shaped like stars or glow in the dark and its newest product—Space Wash cleanser—marks its exploration into a new category. The foaming face wash is an ultra-gentle, oil-free cleanser made with plant-derived ingredients that was specifically created to "promote fast healing for damaged skin."
For those with acne-prone skin, some cleansers can do more harm than good, especially as drying formulas can strip the skin of its natural oils and onset the production of excess oil. The free-from Space Wash cleanser boasts a clean formula that's effective for removing makeup and dead skin cells, plus fighting acne-causing bacteria. Some of the soothing ingredients in the formula are white willow bark extract (a natural salicylic acid alternative), and herb and flower extracts.
