Day 8: Kinerase Review
By Ceil
To say that Kinerase products changed my life…would be an understatement. I have unbelievably product sensitive skin (including sensitivity to cleansers, moisturizers, shampoos, conditioners and foundations) and have spent a ton on trying to find “something” that just wouldn’t cause painful skin issues and dryness for me. I’m sure many of you can relate to a certain degree. It takes forever to test one product at a time….and I am one of those who doesn’t get a reaction till I’ve used a product for a week or more…so figuring out what does or doesn’t work can be a long painful process.
I recently had laser surgery. My surgeon suggested that it, in combination with the Kinerase products, would possibly give me some relief from my skin issues…and…I have had amazing results! I got “off the wagon” just to see if I was still product sensitive…and oh yes! I sure was….so I want to share a little about these products that have helped me so much.
Kinerase daily cleaner is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic and for all skin types. In the past…other cleansers left my skin literally dry and cracked and peeling. If they didn’t dry me out, I ended up with severe acne-like issues. This one leaves my face clean, but not tight or dry and no acne issues. I follow up with a series of Kinerase moisturizing products that leave my skin quite soft and clean feeling with no visible dryness and no flakes or cracks.
This product contains green and white tea extracts to sooth the skin and for anti-oxidant benefits. It also has algae extracts to moisturize the skin.
Now…I have to say that this product “ain’t cheap”…but it’s also not the most expensive product on the market and a little goes a long long way. I have been using my bottle since July and it’s still over half full! The instructions call for using 2-3 pumps of this product. Oh my…I think you would be wasting it! I personally only need about a half of a pump. I apply it to my face and add a little water. It feels silky smooth and slips around my face with no pulling or tugging. There is nothing abrasive in this. It is cool and calming to my skin. I use it twice a day usually.
A couple of other things that I want to share is that I always use eye makeup remover to get rid of all of my eye makeup first, and then cleanse my face with the Kinerase cleanser. And I also found out that this daily cleanser is so gentle that it can be used after procedures such as chemical peels and laser resurfacing also.
So…especially if you have skin issues ….I hope you get a chance to try this product as it may prove to be helpful to you.
It’s been a lifesaver for me!

Great review, Ciel. I'm definitely going to give this a try after my next peel.
I am glad to hear that this has not bothered your skin in any way. I have somewhat sensitive skin, and Kinerase really seemed to bother it. I tried the Extreme Face Lift, Eye Treatment and day moisturizer and they must be too strong for me. Like you, as well, it took almost a week of use before I started seeing a negative reaction. At this point, I am almost afraid to try any more from Kinerase, but after continually reading such great reviews, I might have to at least give this cleanser a try.
Thanks for this--I definitely want to check this line out.
Just curious--with all your sensitivity, what eye makeup remover works for you?
Teri... I asked my Dr. about using anything other than the basic cleanser and the moisturizers (review coming soon) in this line. and ...he said with my sensitivities the other "treatment" things would be too much. So I have just been using the cleanser and 2 moisturizing products. It seems like once the skin is sensitized...everything will bother it! But with this simple regime...I am doing well.
Wonderful review, Ceil! I've watched you struggle with your skin issues for many years now, and your complexion has never looked better! It's just so great to finally find products that work so well, isn't it!
Patti it is good to have some relief! But now when I have issues I have to ask Ron what he has been using! My forehead was a mess the other day and I realized he had kissed me on the forehead...and was wearing chapstick! When I get reincarnated...I'm cutting a deal for good skin next time around :)
