Spectro is an affordable, easy-to-find skincare line, that really gets overlooked. Its affordability can really scare us away from thinking it's a good product. I used Spectro as a young teen when I had acne problems, and it really worked well for my skin. I now have more of a combination skin type, so I received the newly packaged Combination Skin Cleaner and Moisturizer to test out.
Spectro has 3 lines for 3 different skin types. Combination, Dry, and Oily/Blemish-Prone Skin. All 3 cleansers come in a huge 500 ml size, but the Dry and Oily/Blemish-Prone cleansers do come in other sizes as well. All the moisturizers are non-comedogenic, won't clog pores, and contain a non-greasy formula to prevent irritation. Spectro also claims that their products are dermatologist recommended (which I do believe, since I was once recommended one of their products by a doctor).
The Combination Skin Cleanser is designed to deep clean while maintaining the skin's natural moisture barrier. It is pH balanced, gentle, designed for sensitive skin, non-comedogenic + free from fragrance, dyes, sodium, sulphates, parabens, and lanolin.
While this cleanser does not feel like it does a deep clean, it is super gentle, non irritating, non drying, and there is no fragrance to it. It is a very simple cleanser, but it will not efficiently remove makeup, so that definitely will need to be done beforehand. I would recommend this cleanser for those with skin sensitive to fragrance, or any harsh ingredients. This is probably one of the best affordable cleanser I would recommend someone to purchase if they're on a budget! The 500 ml size is HUGE and I can see it lasting quite a while.
The Spectro HydraCare Daily Moisturizer for Normal & Combination Skin is light, and ideal to wear at night or in the daytime. It works great under makeup and doesn't bring out my oily skin. It isn't greasy, and claims to not clog pores (which I don't feel like it does either). It absorbs quickly so I can prime and begin my makeup application right away. It's not shown here, but the box is a little scary and might make you think this is some type of medicated cream or something. It really isn't.. the ingredients are kept to a minimum and there is no scent to this moisturizer. A downside is that it doesn't contain SPF, but that gives me all the more reason to wear it both during the day and at night!
Overall, I would definitely purchase another cleanser and moisturizer from Spectro. As I mentioned, I have used them in the past and have never had a bad experience with their products.
