Placentor Vegetal Cleansing Milk Review

Product Description
Placentor Vegetal Cleansing Milk gently cleanses impurities including make-up from the face and eyes. Skin is left refreshed and softened. 

Benefits : 
- Soothe and calm irritated skin while cleansing impurities
- Reinforces the skin's hydrolipidic film 
- Alcohol-free, non-rinse formula

In the world of skincare, finding products that effectively cleanse without stripping the skin of its natural oils can be a daunting task. I like cleansing milks which are gentle yet provide a thorough cleansing. 

As a fan of cleansing milks, Placentor Vegetal Cleansing Milk is my latest addition with last few cleansers being Clinelle PureSwiss Hydracalm Caring Milk Cleanser, SVR Physiopure Cleansing Milk and Jowae Soothing Cleansing Milk

All Placentor Végétal products are derived from Applied Phytodermatology based on 50 years of expertise in dermocosmetics which allow them to offer the most suitable solution for each type of skin problem.

Made in France, the formulas are developed by pharmacists in line with a strict protocol with preference given to natural active ingredients recognised in dermatology. The skin care products undergo clinical assessment to ensure their tolerance and their effectiveness which are assessed by instrumental methods and/or use tests on a target population (age, skin type, etc.).

Performance and Ingredients

Placentor Vegetal Cleansing Milk


Placentor Vegetal Cleansing Milk has a lightweight lotion consistency which glides effortlessly onto the skin, effectively removing impurities and excess oil without causing dryness or irritation. I don't use it to remove makeup as I delegate it to Dermalogica PreCleanse Cleansing Oil in my current routine. 

This gentle formula makes it suitable for daily use, even for those with sensitive skin prone to redness and inflammation and I have been using it daily for the past 2 months without any issues. 

The key ingredient is...

Apricot Kernel Oil: Soothing, softening properties, helps to reconstruct the skin’s hydro-lipid layer

Aqua, Caprylic/capric triglyceride**, PEG-6 stearate, Prunus armeniaca kernel oil**, Ceteth-20, Phenoxyethanol, Cetyl alcohol**, Glyceryl stearate, Steareth-20, Carbomer, Parfum, Sodium dehydroacetate, Arachis hypogaea oil**, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sodium hydroxide, Benzyl salicylate, Hexyl cinnamal, Linalool, Limonene, Hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene carboxaldehyde, Amyl cinnamal, Butylphenyl methylpropional, Cinnamyl alcohol, Eugenol, BHA, BHT, Citric acid, Propyl gallate
** Plant Origin

Conclusion

To conclude, Placentor Vegetal Cleansing Milk is a gentle formula, suitable for daily use even for those with sensitive skin prone to redness and inflammation. It kept my skin clean and soft. If I have to nitpick, it would be the parfum as I prefer my products to do without fragrances.

I purchased Lannue Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ with a 50% product discount code after seeing it on Instagram as I was intrigued with anything containing Ginseng. 

Made in Korea, Lannue skincare products contain Western and Asian ingredients which are carefully curated for optimal balance and effect. The ingredients aim to provide the skin with 4-in-1 action of moisturizing, calming, anti-aging, and brightening.

Packaging, Scent and Texture

Lannue Waterfull Sun Cream SPF50+ PA++++ Texture


Aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, Lannue Sun Cream has a premium vibe with its beige exterior and its textured box packaging. At 50ml, the actual tube looked to be only 50% full, so the tube is larger than it should be, which could be a marketing gimmick. The packaging has since been changed to a slimmer tube at the point of writing. 

This sun cream has a floral fragrance with a lovely creamy consistency that applies with a subtle cooling sensation.

My reviews were selected as one of the Top 10 reviewers on Wishtrend so I had the option to choose 3 products of my choice and Klairs Midnight Blue Youth Activating Drop came to my mind. Strangely, the usage instructions were different on the box packaging, Wishtrend website and Klairs website.

The box packaging states that the product can be used day and night, while Klairs website states that the product have to be used before toner without mentioning if its a day or night use, and the Wishtrend website states that this is a night serum that is to be used before toner. 

I usually follow the instructions stated on box packaging as I presume that is the most accurate to the production of the product and its ingredients.

Meant to be blue in colour, my serum has turned grey when I opened up the bottle for use, after storing it for more than 6 months.
