I couldn't leave it for the full alloted time. I'd be careful with that one someone has sensitive skin. But I still would love to know what you think of other ones!

I rotate other products through as things catch my eye but it's a brand I definitely keep going back to. Those volcanic cleansers are interesting, though heaven knows I own enough cleansers for a lifetime already.

From there, you can do your own research (which it sounds like you're already doing) which is great! I'm not a believer in taking ANY website as the end-all-be-all authority on a subject (my own blog most DEFINITELY included!). It's great to have as much info as possible from a variety of sources to help you make the best decisions for you. :)G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-69595249833439764312016-10-28T16:53:39.932-07:002016-10-28T16:53:39.932-07:00Thank you so much for the detailed post, G! :) I s...Thank you so much for the detailed post, G! :) I saw a product from another brand with retinal in it and I was surprised to see it's a high concern ingredient, but like you said it depends on how much, and if it's the only (or one of the few) high or moderate concern ingredients in the formula.

That info is not listed on the EWG website; it's just a blanket "concern" warning. Certain ingredients, in low levels, may pose no threat at all to humans and can actually be quite beneficial in skincare/cosmetics. <br /><br />I am not trying to speak for any products in particular (from any brand), but I do think that it's important to keep that in mind and if you have concerns, it's a good idea to contact the manufacturer if you'd like to know the exact amount of a particular ingredient within a product. From there you can do your research and find your own comfort level before buying or ruling out a product. :)G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16658662222451658254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-923437194678664102.post-10621486675625434252016-10-28T14:52:49.102-07:002016-10-28T14:52:49.102-07:00Hmmm..I have enjoyed shampoo and conditioner from ...Hmmm..I have enjoyed shampoo and conditioner from Alba, along with some basic body lotions, but I have not delved into their facial products. These sound interesting, especially the sheet masks. I think I will wait for some reviews.
