ONEOSEVEN’S BEST KEPT SECRETS


FOR 35 GENERATIONS:


A LOW PH CHAGA CLEANSER REVIEW



I was today years old when I found out a generation is 30 years


AMY DANG on DECEMBER 2, 2019


Chaga, we meet again! I didn’t think I’d be reviewing another chaga-based skincare product so soon, but here we are. As a reminder, I discovered chaga for the first time in Blithe’s Pressed Serum, which I reviewed just recently. Turns out chaga has a ton of awesome skincare benefits, so I am certainly not mad about experimenting with a new product!


This time, I tested ONEOSEVEN’s Low pH Chaga Cleanser. According to their website, the company’s name comes from “one hundred seven different secret formulas that have been kept for 35 generations.” Well, now you’ve piqued my curiosity. That’s a long time to keep one hundred and seven secrets…Let’s see if this product really lives up to its grand brand story.


THE PRODUCT



Similar to the well-loved COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, the ONEOSEVEN cleanser has a pH of 5, which, compared to the highest pH level of 14, is considered slightly acidic. The pH level is actually very close in value to the pH level of the skin, which averages at about 5.7. Low pH cleansers are great for the skin because they don’t irritate or strip your skin of moisture. That tight, squeaky-clean feeling you get after using a cleanser is a telltale sign that it is high in alkaline (aka above 7 in pH). On the other hand, lower pH cleansers, as they are similar in pH level to the skin, won’t imbalance your skin and instead will be gentler and help with cell turnover.

Now you know that using a low pH cleanser like ONEOSEVEN’s is super important and will leave you with wonderfully soft, clean and brightened skin. Bet you never thought that high school science lesson on pH levels would turn out to be so handy!


THE SMELL


Thanks to its many herbal ingredients, including flower and fruit extracts, the cleanser has a vibrant, slightly citrusy scent to it. This might sound a little weird but I kept trying to inhale more of the scent because it just smelled so good and felt so relaxing. I was instantly transported into a spa for some reason? I can’t pinpoint exactly which ingredient is causing this, maybe the chaga, but whatever it is, it is hella soothing, and I’m all for it!


THE FEELING


As any gentle cleanser should, ONEOSEVEN’s cleanser felt great to the skin. The texture itself is pretty thick, but lathers super quickly and is surprisingly pretty foamy for a low pH cleanser. The jelly-like consistency even has little bits of ground green tea in it that help massage and brighten the skin. Plus, green tea is known to have great antioxidant benefits  


I use this cleanser as part of my nighttime routine and so far it’s been great at removing dirt and impurities, and even washing off my makeup. Admittedly, I don’t wear that much makeup on a daily basis (foundation and some eyeshadow). But at least it’s proven to be useful in removing light makeup! As expected of a low pH cleanser, my skin didn’t feel in the least dry or stripped from its moisture. On the contrary, it felt super soft and refreshed, ready for the next part of my skincare routine. There’s really nothing bad to say about it, really.


THE INGREDIENTS



ONEOSEVEN’s Low pH Chaga Cleanser’s main ingredient, chaga mushroom extract, has great anti-pollution, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Not only that, paired with 10 complex (a mix of several skin brightening ingredients such as chamomile flower extract and green tea extract) and 5 year old vinegar ferment (which contains 7 essential amino acids, vitamin C and acetic acid), the cleanser boasts great cleaning and nourishing properties, boosting skin tone while calming and soothing skin, which makes it a well-rounded cleanser for any skin type.

THE TAKEAWAY



Did ONEOSEVEN’s Low pH Chaga Cleanser impress me with its 35 generations’ old secrets? Not sure I’d go that far. But it certainly did its job (aka clean my face) wonderfully. I’d say its biggest selling points, apart from its low pH, are its chaga ingredient and texture, which are different from other low pH cleansers like COSRX’s. I really have zero complaints and would probably reuse it again. If you’re looking to try something new, perhaps an alternative to COSRX’s cleanser, this could be something for you!
