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. 

Review : Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream Light

Product Description
All the protective, fortifying qualities of Rose Day Cream in a lightweight formulation; perfect for sensitive skin or use in warmer weather. Rose Day Cream Light nourishes, hydrates and protects dry, sensitive skin for a calm, even and balanced complexion.

 

• Precious rose water, rose wax and extracts of rose, marsh mallow and anthyllis protect, calm and balance the skin
• Marsh mallow root extract with avocado, sesame and sweet almond oils hydrate, carrying essential moisture to skin

Key Ingredient :
Also known as rose hydrosol, it is derived from the condensed steam produced during distillation of rose essential oil. The oily component is the essential oil and the watery portion is the rose distillate. Rose distillate is rich in water-soluble compounds beneficial for skin, particularly for soothing sensitive skin while helping harmonize and balance skin.

I received a 5g sample of the Rose Day Cream Light during my last Lovelula product purchase. After hearing much raves about their Rose Day Cream, I am glad to get a chance to try it out. I have been using it as a day cream in the morning after Fancl Deep Moisture Lotion and Beauty Concentrate.

The rose day cream light has a light rose fragrance with a light texture that left a light moisturizing veil on the skin without being greasy.

According to Paula, the product consists mainly of water, sesame oil and alcohol. And the rose flower water and extract adds fragrance which is a potential irritant. Other fragrance components like eugenol can be irritating for skin and problematic in the presence of sunlight.

Personally, I feel that this moisturizer is too light, probably suitable for those with oily skin as it fails to hydrate sufficiently on my combination and dehydrated skin. I don't see any improvement even though I have been using it for the past month.

The product scored 3.9 from 61 users on Makeupalley.

Review : Dr. Hauschka Cleansing Cream

Product Description
Sweet almond meal combines with extracts of anthyllis, calendula, chamomile and St. John's wort to remove dirt and impurities without stripping the skin of moisture. Skin is strengthened while gentle exfoliation reveals skin's vitality.

For all skin conditions. Cleansing Cream gently cleanses, exfoliates, fortifies and refreshes, protecting the skin’s natural protective function for healthy, radiant skin.

Usage :
Cleanse in the morning and evening. Moisten face, neck and décolleté with a warm face cloth. Mix ½-1 inch / 1-2 cm of Cleansing Cream with  warm water in the palms to form a smooth, creamy paste. Press mixture gently onto skin then roll hands up and away in a wave-like motion. Start in the centre of the forehead then slowly work outward and down, ending at the décolleté. Avoid the eye area. Repeat the press and roll action 2-3 times. Do not rub or scrub. Rinse with warm water then finish with a splash of cool, fresh water to close pores.
For sensitive skin use warm water only

I received a 10ml trial size as part of my beauty selection box from Lovelula. I have been looking forward to using the brand, since hearing raves about their products a long time ago.

 
The recommended usage for the cream is pretty unique, to use a rolling method, instead of the usual rubbing or scrubbing method.

The methods seem too mild on my skin hence I use my regular method of cleansing and it works fine.
My skin feels refreshed, clean and smooth. I don't use it everyday, because of its exfoliating beads, just on every alternate day or when I think my skin needs a good scrubbing action.

It has a heavy scent which is overpowering for my senses and the exfoliation action is mild enough to prevent any redness or tautness on my sensitive skin. Brown in colour, it feels and looks more like  paste than a cream.

 
This cleanser, while effective and mild, is not on my to-buy list due to its inclusion of alcohol, something that is not needed in my skincare products.

It scored 3.7 from 318 users on Makeupalley.
