Review : Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk


Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk Review

Product Description
This velvety milk cleanses and removes make-up from the face and eyes. Enriched with nourishing and soothing agents, it leaves the skin clean, soft and comfortable. Appropriate for sensitive skin and eyes, dermatologist and ophthalmologist tested. Non-comedogenic. Hypoallergenic.
Use: morning and evening, apply with a cotton pad to face and eyes. With or without rinsing. All skin types.

I bought the 100ml size from Sephora late last year which I have been using it as a make-up remover. Caudalie products have a distinct scent, most probably from the grape seed though I felt that it smells more like saliva. It is formulated without parabens, sulfates, petrochemicals, phthalates, GMOs and triclosan.

The clear green bottle comes with a pump dispenser that dispenses the white cleansing milk easily without any excess spillage.
 
I normally warm the milk in my palms and then use it all over the face, without any cotton pads to remove it. I just use normal water to rinse it. However, I dislike the residue that is left over on the skin ( which feels unclean ), so I tend to follow up with a cleanser which is a norm practice for me. Double cleansing is a must for me.

Initial usage has made my skin slightly more sensitive, warm and red on the cheeks. I stopped using it for awhile and continued using it when my skin recovered. Nowadays, there is no adverse reaction to it and I use every evening to remove my light make-up and skip the eye area. However, it does not work so well on heavier make-up and did not remove shimmery particles effectively.
 
Cotton pads with cleansing milk does not appear to be better in heavier make-up removal, in fact this cleansing milk is too mild for that.

I believe there are much better products out there.
