Cleanser Comparison: Motif, Cerave, Augustinus Bader

Motif Abundance Plumping Phyto Ceramide Face Cleanser is a gentle face wash for all skin types including dry and sensitive skin

I have very sensitive skin and tried the Abundance Cleanser, here’s what happened...

When I use a product with a lot of fragrance or essential oils, however natural or organic it might be, my cheeks flare up into a beetroot red that shows even on my brown skin. With its unique formulation developed by a leading dermatologist, the Motif Abundance Cleanser is unlike anything I’ve ever tried.

It has a beautiful, creamy texture with gentle luffa fruit that helps with blood circulation and stops my face from feeling puffy or swollen. As soon as I rinse it off, my skin immediately feels softer and plump. 

Its fragrance-free, safe-for-sensitive skin formula gives just the faintest whiff of rose and earth that smells like the summer rain. I used it through both my pregnancies when I was really sensitive to scent and couldn’t handle any fragrance around me or my home.

With time, the Abundance Cleanser has imparted a glow to my skin while fortifying and healing my skin barrier of its sensitive tendencies. Here's how it compared to other cleansers I've used before...

Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser

I am a Rosacea-skin survivor. For the longest time the only product I bought on repeat was the Cerave Hydrating Facial Cleanser. It was a bulk bottle that sat in my shower—a reminder of the almost medicinal, dermatologist-approved products I was resorting to use due to the sensitivities of my skin. The Motif Abundance Cleanser changed that for me.

Augustinus Bader Cream Cleansing Gel

I was always on the lookout for the holy grail of skincare. Enter Augustinus Bader. I tried their cream and then bought their cleanser. I was underwhelmed. It smells just like a mix of ingredients, almost chemical like. Most days the sum total of make-up I use is a tinted moisturizer, blush and mascara. I always use a micellar water to remove mascara. The Augustinus Bader Cream Cleansing Gel removes my light make-up and feels gentle. 

It’s non-irritating, but my skin feels like it did before the wash, nothing less but nothing more. And I simply wanted more from every product I buy and use.


If someone had told me that a cleanser could make such a huge difference to the quality and health of my skin, I would have never believed it until I started to use the Abundance Cleanser.
