RDL Babyface Facial Cleanser Plain: Deep Cleansing Astringent for Oily Skin
RDL Babyface Facial Cleanser Plain (often simply called RDL Plain) is a liquid skincare treatment manufactured by RDL Pharmaceutical Laboratory Inc. in the Philippines. In Nigeria, it is widely used as a secondary cleanser or "deep cleansing astringent" to target stubborn pimples, whiteheads, and oily skin.
Unlike the medicated RDL Babyface Astringents (#1, #2, and #3) which contain peeling agents like Hydroquinone, the Plain version is formulated for daily maintenance. It reaches deep into the pores to remove trapped dirt, makeup, and excess sebum that regular soaps miss.
Key Benefits
- Intense Oil Control: Its alcohol-based formula effectively cuts through oil, leaving your skin with a matte, fresh finish.
- Pimple & Blackhead Prevention: Contains antimicrobial agents that help prevent the formation of comedones and breakouts.
- Soothing Ingredients: Formulated with Allantoin and D-Panthenol (Pro-vitamin B5) to help soothe the skin and maintain moisture.
- Instant Cooling: The addition of Menthol provides a "sharp relief" and a cooling sensation upon application.
How to Use RDL Babyface Cleanser for Best Results
- Wash: Start with a clean, dry face.
- Apply: Moisten a cotton pad with the cleanser.
- Wipe: Gently wipe your face and neck in an upward motion. Avoid the delicate eye area and broken skin.
- Repeat: For oily or acne-prone skin, use twice daily (morning and evening).
Side Effects and Precautions
- The "Burning" Sensation: Due to the high alcohol content and menthol, you may feel a stinging or "pepperish" sensation. This is common but if it causes severe irritation, reduce frequency or discontinue use.
- Sun Safety: This product can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always apply a sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day.
- Avoid Sensitive Areas: Do not apply on irritated or wounded skin.
Spotting the Original RDL Babyface
Because of its popularity, fake RDL products are common in Nigerian markets. The original product features a holographic seal from RDL Pharmaceutical Laboratory and specific batch codes. To guarantee you are getting the genuine RDL Babyface Plain, always buy from a licensed pharmacy like GoMed Nigeria.
