A fantastic creamy foaming cleanser that is an absolute joy to use. It foams up beautifully, feeling very gentle and soothing on the skin without any feeling of dryness.

It has a lovely fresh scent to it and comes in a handy tube making it easy to use both in the shower or at the basin. As noted by all our panellist, you only need a small amount for each use making it a long lasting product.

MAC Cremewash




It's such a luxurious texture, it feels beautiful on the skin and a little bit goes a long way. I found it beautiful to apply; it's so creamy and moisturising. It doesn't dry out the skin as some other cleansers can do. As I said the texture is very creamy and there is a nice light scent, which I like.

Having sensitive skin I don't like using highly scented products on my skin. The price is very reasonable; I would most definitely use it again. You only need such a small amount to cleanse the skin that I can see a bottle lasting at least 3 months making it only about 10c a go.

I use MAC Cosmetics, and believe it is one of the best makeup lines, so I wasn't sure what to expect from their skincare. The cleanser comes in a tube, and the sleek packaging is similar their cosmetics line. I found that a little goes a long way with this cleanser. I only needed to apply a tiny drop of this cleanser to cleanse my face and neck, since it lathered up really well.

Afterwards, my skin felt well-cleansed, but did not leave my skin feeling stripped dry compared to when I've used other foaming cleansers in the past. For my skin type, I would probably use this cleanser during the colder months of the year, since I felt that it helped to keep some moisture in my skin.

I really liked the smell of this product, since it had a pleasant, fresh scent, but was mild enough so it was not overpowering. I also enjoyed the texture of this product, since it worked into a creamy lather, almost like whipped cream, rather than a watery, sudsy lather. I would definitely purchase it again, I enjoyed the creamy lather and fresh scent of the product, but I also like the way my skin felt afterwards. I think that this product works out to be very good value for money.

I thought the cleanser was great. The packaging was appealing and the fragrance was really pleasant. My first impressions were that I was really going to enjoy using it, and I was right.I found that a small amount of the cleanser goes a long way, as it lathered up quite a lot. However, once I rinsed it off, my face quite tight and slightly dry.

The texture feels slightly whipped, and is really creamy and smooth; it felt great on my skin. The first thing I noticed about the cleanser was how nice it smelt, it is really pleasant to use. I would strongly consider purchasing this product again, it is a fantastic cleanser. I would give it 4.5 Stars. I love the cleanser, but it was slightly drying, otherwise I would give it a 5.

Very sleek, tube design featuring the signature MAC black and white colours. It foams up quickly and easily with water. The lather is very soft and feels like soufflé! My face feels fresh and squeaky clean (but not dry) afterwards. It does not leave an oily film on the skin as some traditional "crème" cleansers do. Also a little goes a long way so I only needed the tiniest amount. However, this does not remove my makeup very well and is hard to control the amount of product that comes out. It has a very fine, creamy texture and has a light, pleasant fruity fragrance which reminds me of freshly cut watermelons! It's great as a daily cleanser but I would suggest removing makeup first in the evenings. I give it 4 Stars, I've taken one star off for not being able to remove makeup efficiently .

I thought the packaging was great on this product; it was very modern and new. I thought the product size looked quite small but when I used the product I realised you only need a small amount for each application. The application was very easy as the product is in a tube so I just squeezed out the required amount and followed the instructions on the tube.

When I opened the product I noticed it had a fruity & fresh fragrance which was appealing. It also had a silky, creamy feel to it which felt very uplifting during the application. After using the Cremewash my skin felt clean and moisturised even before I applied moisturiser. I really enjoyed using this product and found it was effective in removing make up and daily build up on the skin's surface.

I would consider purchasing this product in the future if I needed/wanted a change from my current cleanser. I would give this product a 3 Star rating as it did all the things it claimed to on the packaging. I think it would be great if it was available in a larger tube so as not to have to buy a new one as often .
