I first came across Moon Haven while planning my Perth itinerary, and subsequently visited the store, since I am round the area, and purchased both Moon Haven Cleansing Milk with Rose Geranium and Moon Haven Vanilla Lip Balm.
As someone with combination skin that is prone to surface dehydration, cleansing milks are a staple in my skincare routine. They tend to cleanse gently without stripping my skin, making them an ideal choice for maintaining a healthy skin barrier hence I was intrigued by this, when I was in the store. My last emptied cleansing milks were Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser and Natio Silky Soft Cleansing Milk.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Moon Haven Cleansing Milk with Rose Geranium comes in a 125ml bottle with a convenient flip-top cap. The cleansing milk has a lightweight, runny consistency that dispenses easily through the small opening, allowing for controlled usage. It carries a delicate rose geranium fragrance that feels fresh and natural without being overpowering.
How To Use :
1) Splash your face with warm water
2) Apply a small amount of cleanser to your fingertips and gently apply to your face using upward strokes (you don’t want to drag your skin downwards – gravity does it enough already!)
3) Massage your skin in a light circular motion for a few seconds
4) Using warm water, rinse your face of all traces of cleanser
5) Gently pat your face dry
Performance and Ingredients
According to Moon Haven, this herbal cleansing milk with Rose Geranium is formulated for dry, sensitive, and mature skin types.
In terms of performance, the cleansing milk feels gentle and mild on the skin. However, I noticed a slight warming or "spicy" sensation whenever I used it after a makeup remover. For this reason, I found it works better as a morning cleanser or as a standalone gentle cleanse rather than following a makeup-removal step. Fortunately, the sensation was temporary and did not cause any redness, irritation, or visible reaction on my skin.

Conclusion
To conclude, Moon Haven Cleansing Milk with Rose Geranium is a gentle cleanser that would suit those with dry, sensitive, or mature skin looking for a mild, non-stripping cleansing experience. The lightweight milk texture feels comfortable on the skin and leaves it clean without that tight, squeaky-clean feeling.
While I experienced a slight "spicy" sensation when using it after a makeup remover, it worked well as a morning cleanser and did not cause any redness or irritation. Personally, I prefer cleansing milks that provide a little more hydration and cushioning, but I can see this being a good option for those who enjoy simple, botanical-based skincare products.
