Product Description
PRIVATE FORMULA Sensitive Cleansing Milk is a mild, fragrance free cleanser to gently dissolve all traces of make-up and impurities without the irritation. Lightweight with a silky texture and enriched with Vitamin E, Aloe and Green Tea to soothe and nourish skin.
Skin begins to change from your late twenties, responding to differing dynamics during your thirties, forties and fifties as cell generation begins to slow down. Dr. LeWinn's vision was to develop unique formulations that provide the most powerful anti-ageing solutions for women to treat changing skin types of all kinds and empower you to look and feel your best
Dr. LeWinn's is renowned for innovations in the science of treating changing skin. A highly respected and leading reconstructive dermal surgeon, his intense research and development delivered revolutionary results in beauty and skin rejuvenation. His focus is on using highly advanced formulations to address concerns such as Nourishment, Lines, Wrinkles, Sagging, Firmness and Pigmentation.
This is my first foray into Dr. Lewinns products, despite seeing them in several Australia pharmacies and was tempted to get them but I got other brands instead. I have a soft spot for cleansing milks so when Dr. Lewinns Private Formula Sensitive Cleansing Milk was on sale in SASA, I purchased a bottle to try out. Thankfully, the product did not disappoint me.
Dr. Lewinns has several lines - Essentials, Private Formula, Eternal Youth, Ultra R4, Reversaderm and Line Smoothing Complex S8. I got mine in the Private Formula. You can check out the range on their website.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Made in Australia, recommended for sensitive skin and free from parabens, sulfates and other common irritants, Dr. Lewinns Private Formula Sensitive Cleansing Milk is housed in an elegant and tall cylindrical bottle with 120ml contents. It has a sturdy small nozzle dispenser that dispenses the cleansing milk without any squirting mess. 4 pumps are usually what I need for my cleansing needs.

White in colour, it has a lightweight milky consistency with a strong rose fragrance that was overpowering initially but now I have since grown accustomed to the fragrance.
Performance and Ingredients
When I first started using Dr. Lewinns Private Formula Sensitive Cleansing Milk, the rose fragrance was rather overwhelming and choking. At some point, I even have to hold my breath while pumping out the contents for usage. After awhile, I got accustomed to the fragrance and its no longer an issue now.
I like that cleansing milks can double up as both a first and second cleanse. I usually use cleansing milk as a regular cleanser as its gentle and more nourishing than foam and gel cleansers. Other than using it as a cleanser, cleansing milks are also great to be used as a make-up remover as it can help to gently dissolve all traces of make-up and impurities without the irritation.
Dr. Lewinns Private Formula Sensitive Cleansing Milk works reasonably well as a make-up remover for the face but it can be tricky when it comes to eye make-up as there are still some remnants of the eyeliner marks when I attempted to use it as an eye makeup remover. A cotton bud does the trick but I wouldn't like cleansing milk near the eyes, to be honest.
In terms of ingredients, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder and Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea) Leaf Extract contain anti-aging and anti-oxidant benefits. And even though the sensitive cleansing milk is free of gluten, sulfates, parabens, silicones, polyethylene glycol (PEG) and synthetic fragrances, there are some comedogenic components, harmful alcohols, allergens and fungal acne feeding components according to Cosmily.
Conclusion
To conclude, I wouldn't mind repurchasing Dr. Lewinns Private Formula Sensitive Cleansing Milk as a gentle and nourishing cleanser! However, as a make-up remover, I still prefer my holy grail Bioderma Sensibio H20 Micelle Solution.
