How often do you read the ingredient in your cleanser? Most of the time I just want something that removes my makeup effectively without leaving my skin dry. After all, it only stays on your skin a couple of minutes before being washed off. Not so with this cleanser! With the amount of amazing organic ingredients in the product it sounds more like a moisturiser.
I was actually looking forward to cleansing my face at night. I was not disappointed. Even the smell of the product exudes goodness for your skin. The formulation is very light and creamy and does remove makeup very well. However this fact almost became secondary for me, I was that excited about putting all these wonderful ingredients on my skin.
After washing it off my skin not only glowed but felt so moisturised that I only used a very light moisturiser. Considering that it is winter and my skin tends to be very dehydrated, that was a huge bonus for me. Make sure you try this for yourself. It will be a treat.

My first impression was the great container which minimizes contamination. No excess packaging either. The cleanser has a very smooth and light texture. I loved the fragrance which is really clean and fruity. It went on smoothly – didn’t soak in to the skin. Seemed to really cleanse my face without drying out my skin. I think this cleanser did a better job of cleansing that any other products I have used recently. No breakouts and it just seemed to do what it should. I will definitely be buying it again. 5 Stars.

The first thing I noticed was that this was an organic product and I love to try something that I know will do my skin good and won’t harm it. The convenient pump bottle makes it very easy to use and there’s no waste as you can control how much you need. You could really notice the citrus smell which was beautiful and the creamy cleanser felt cool to apply which made my face feel renewed. My face felt firm and clean. It was the perfect product to use first thing in the morning and the last thing at night. I enjoyed using this product very much. 4 Stars

Nice bottle and looks like a professional product. The application of it is quite easy; it’s not that runny or thick. The smell is quite nice and it has a smooth texture. It was not a drying product, my face didn’t feel dry after using it which is a big plus and it also removed all of my makeup including mascara. I would purchase it again and I give it 4 Stars.

I loved the sleek bottle. It has a pump dispenser – no mess for me and more hygienic for the product. The pump can be closed off so the packaging is good to travel with. The best before date is great for products that claims to be organic(not having a best before date probably means the product is loaded with chemical preservatives) The cleanser was nice and light to apply. I did notice a slight tingling sensation on application, and after washing it off with lukewarm water my skin felt a little tight, which made me think that this cleanser is not as gentle as it claims!
My skin is on the dry side of normal and I don’t think this cleanser would suit very dry skins. The texture is light and smooth, and it has a nice citrusy fragrance. However the product when it comes out of the bottle looks a little ‘curdled’, as if all the ingredients have started to separate a little. I didn’t notice my skin getting better; in fact my skin became dryer after using this product. I wouldn’t purchase this as I thought it was a little drying. Also, it’s quite expensive for 125mL of cleanser! 3.5 Stars

The packaging and look of the product definitely gives the impression that it is a natural product. The colour of the plastic bottle is the same as that of old glass medicine bottles, that and the style of the label also make it look like it could be ‘hand-made’ and definitely not mass-produced. The pump action was very easy to use. I think the fragrance is the best feature of this product, it smells so fresh and natural.
I love the texture, it would be one of the thickest cream cleansers I’ve used, as some can be a bit watery. I generally use cream cleansers through winter as my skin tends to be so dry at this time of year. This cleanser was non-drying and it took off my make-up very effectively. I would be interested in continuing to use this product. Whether I would or not depends on the other products in the range. I wouldn’t use a cleanser if I didn’t like the complimenting moisturiser. I generally choose a moisturiser first and then select a cleanser from that range. 3 Stars
