Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend a cream cleanser that really works to remove all traces of make-up & dirt AND prevents break outs.

It's funny becuase I use some really great, high end moisturizers and toners. For example Jurlique Herbal Gel, Phytomer, Yonka, Earth Science, etc.
But.......
When it comes to cleansers, I have had no luck. My skin is sensitive but can break out on my chin area. I can't use foam or gel as they are way to harsh. But most cream cleansers don't remove all my make-up so I end up breaking out. Is there a cream cleanser that contains salicyclic acid? I've been using Clean & Clear Cream Cleanser for 3 years but would like to try something else.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've been wondering about Phytomer Cream Cleasner?

I know that both Neutrogena and L'Oreal (Pure Zone) have cream cleansers with BHAs in them. I'm not sure about salon or department cleansers though. Perhaps Caspers Mum or Magda might be able to suggest some if you contacted them and if you are looking at the brands that EDS stocks.

I've used Eve Lom's Cleanser once a week for years. It's a weird texture - like a pot of lip balm - and you spread it all over your face and neck and then there's a gentle massage routine that you follow to drain your lymph nodes & stimulate circulation. There's a piece of muslin in the kit that you take it all off with. If you have breakouts, you can use it more often. It does take off makeup. Don't let the texture turn you off. My skin is oily/sensitive and it's glowing & clean after my "ritual".

Okay, thanks

Where can I purchase Eve Lom online? I have never heard of it before but would certainly like to try it.

Thanks

You can get the Eve Lom cleanser from the official site http://www.evelom.co.uk/

The Eve Lom cleanser is an interesting one and many people either love it or hate it. I still have a jar of it at home and only use it very occasionally. I do like the whole lymphatic drainage procedure though. Btw, Miss Shoes, this cleanser does not havy salicylic acid.

I have tried eve lom cleanser for a while. In the beginning it seems to be great, leaving my face squeaky clean. However over time, it started to irritate my face. Making it very tight and sensitive.

Also you have to clean the muslin cloth everyday after use. Kind of a pain, imho.

Sothy's Purifying Beauty Milk, is by far the best one to try. I have combo skin that breaks out once and awhile, and I love cream cleansers. This one is a wipe away, cream cleanser, that leaves my skin clean, and free of any breakouts. I highly recommend this product.

I love Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish, it's a cream that you massage all over your face then rinse off using a muslin cloth and hot water. It leaves my skin very clean and it doesn't dry it out at all.

My skin is dry, and a bit on the sensitive side, so I prefer cream cleansers. I adore the cleansing cream for dry skin from Decleor (light yellow, comes in a bottle), and Matis also has a DIVINE cream cleanser in a tube.

This product from Biotherm removes everything. I use it everyday. Increadible.

I like this one too. It's supposed to be suitable for all skin types. No problem with dryness for me with this product. Smile

Hi Miss Shoes,
(btw, cool name as I'm a total a shoe-addict) Rolling Eyes

If you are looking to try a cream cleanser, I have used the Phytomer Gentle Cleansing Cream and it works well in dissolving make up. It suits all skin types, but depending on HOW sensitive your skin is, you might like to ask for a sample to try first to ensure it's right for you. However, I can say it is very gentle and a pleasure to use as it has a pleasant clean scent. I don't try to use it to remove mascara as my trusty eye makeup remover does that job, but it is safe to go over your eyes with it. It does a fab job at achieving a nicely cleansed face that isn't left feeling tight after you wash it off. For that reason, and as I have normal/ combo skin that tends to get dry on the cheeks I steer clear of gel or foaming cleansers. Wink
