Its been 8 years since I last used a Dr. Hauschka product as they weren't particularly memorable. I have previously reviewed Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream Light and Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream but I didn't like it enough to repurchase them.
A pioneer in natural skincare for over 50 years, Dr. Hauschka collections are born from a passion for natural solutions, healthy skin and the rhythms of nature. All of their products are 100% certified natural by NATRUE, have never been tested on animals, and do not contain any synthetic fragrances, colors or preservatives.
Hailing from Germany, Dr. Hauschka has been manufacturing on the same Swabian site for over 50 years, using methods that are still largely manual. Their skincare range comprises only genuine natural and organic skin care where their selected medicinal plants are certified organic and help the skin to help itself and to regenerate.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
I purchased Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk in a 30ml travel sized aluminum tube which was a good size for me to gauge my repurchase interest. It has a soothing scent and is very relaxing to the senses.
The white cleansing milk is very lightweight and runny which isn't my preferrable texture.
How To Use :
1) Each morning and evening, apply evenly to a damp face.
2) Remove using water, a Cosmetic Sponge or a lukewarm cloth.
3) To remove eye make-up, apply a little Soothing Cleansing Milk to a dampened cotton pad.
Performance and Ingredients
Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk can be used as a cleanser or as a makeup remover but I use it primarily as a cleanser. It is very gentle, lightweight and runny and would be great for dry, sensitive and normal skin.
When I first started using it, I was surprised by how runny it was and using it on damp skin made me feel like it could be too mild for it to be effective. Yet it does cleanse, very gently as it removes dead skin cells, sebum and dirt particles. My skin is always left soft and smooth.
It has also garnered " Best Cleanser" award in Beauty Insider's Beauty & Wellness Award 2019 so you can imagine its popularity.
However, despite being gentle, there were times when the cleansing milk was drying for my skin type as there was a subtle taut sensation immediately after cleansing.
I managed to use it up within a month but the aluminum tube tore slightly on one of the sides as I tried to roll it down, hence there were some wastage along the way.
Alcohol is listed as the second ingredient and as per updated from Dr. Hauschka Singapore, the alcohol is plant based as it is extracted from wheat so it is suitable for all skin types.
The formulation is made up of Anthyllis, Jojoba and Almond Oil to maintain the skin’s natural protective function. A nutrient-rich extract of fermented grains and bentonite clay effectively cleanse as they calm skin and reduce the appearance of redness.
It is 100% natural cosmetics and/or organic cosmetics, certified to NATRUE standard (The International Natural and Organic Cosmetics Association) and is free from synthetic fragrances, dyes and preservatives, mineral oils, silicone and PEG

Conclusion
To conclude, Dr. Hauschka Soothing Cleansing Milk is a gentle cleanser most suited for sensitive, dry and normal skin. It cleanses effectively and always left my skin soft and smooth but has a subtle taut sensation at times so its not a perfect fit for my skin type.
