Product Description
A soft cleansing milk for all skin conditions, in particular for irritated and sensitive skin. Effectively cleanses all traces of makeup and impurities without causing any damage to the skin natural barrier system. Leavs the skin soft and supple.
After the "demise" of the Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser in its original formula, the beautician at my regular facial salon recommended this brand "Skin Origin" to me. Since I was in need of a good cleanser, I took the plunge and purchased this 200ml product for $75 ( GST excluded ).
Manufactured in Spain, Skin Origin products are touted to contain Penta Peptides which is a chain of
five amino acids that works at the cellular level and transforms skin with less abrasiveness. It is said to diminish skin sensitivity and allergic reaction which is essential to my skin. Adding on to the fact, that the beautician told me that it could help in alleviating eczema concerns, it had me pulling out my wallet almost instantly.

Benefits of Penta Peptides
1 Intensive Lightening Effect Penta peptides inhabit tyrosinase, thus regulating skin pigmentation and spots. It also fade the appearance of dark areas by degrading existing Eumelanin, and produce Pheomelanin (T3) that returns skin to its natural colour tone.
2 Activation of Collagen synthesis by the fibroblast cell
It has the unique ability to stimulate collagen production, promoting firmer contours and improving elasticity of the skin allowing the skin to regain lost vitality and slow the onset of aging.
3 Increases moisture retention of the skin
It has the ability to restore and bind skin moisture; by transporting active ingredients into the cellular level so as to activate and strengthen the natural functions of the skin.
4 Elevate cell penetrating activity
It stimulates cell penetrating activities thus allowing active ingredients to carry out its properties.
5 Increase the binding of vitamins
It has the ability in binding of vitamins, which stimulate the skin's own regeneration process, improves the skin's own defenses against environmental strains and acts as a free radical scavenger.
6 Aids in DNA repair
It encourages the skin's DNA repair mechanism to self correct. It aids in rejuvenating immunity enhancing, and tissue-supporting development to promote cellular regeneration.
I was skeptical of using a cleansing milk as a cleanser since its usually known as a make-up remover. I had used cleansing milk many years ago, as a cleanser and it usually leave a film on the skin.
However, I have to honestly say that I never regret my purchase this time. My search for the perfect cleanser has ended. Finally.
I love this cleanser so much, much much more than the Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser. I am a harsh critic when it comes to my holy grail products and this cleanser won me over for being gentle and effective. Not many people like cleansing milk though, because of the layer of film it left behind, however I do highly encourage and recommend this product to those with sensitive skin. You have to try it to understand why I love it so much! Words just can't express my delight and joy each time I used it.
The white creamy and soft texture glides around the skin beautifully with a gentle and moisturising formula. It leaves a comfortable after-feel, with soft and supple skin in its place. Mild and without any harsh exfoliants, it moisturises the skin with a very thin layer of film which is hardly noticeable.
On skin which has eczema flare-ups, it helps to minimize and treat the dry, scaly and reddened skin within 3 to 5 days, depending on the severity. Each time I had an eczema flare-up which usually occur around and on the nose, this cleanser is my saviour. Even my Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser can't beat that.
In terms of ingredients, do note that the product contains Phenoxyethanol and Triethanolamine.
