I'm not sure how this is relaxing, but it's certainly not effective as a cleanser, for my skin at least. Since using it, I've had more breakouts. Now this could be a coincidence, but this just didn't feel like it was adequately cleansing. I'd use it in the bath or shower in the evenings, massaging all over my face, neck and chest for a good couple of minutes, then rinse. Sometimes I'd use a cleansing wipe afterwards, as my skin just didn't feel clean enough, and grime would still show on the wipe. I'm not a huge face make-up wearer - usually just a BB cream and touch of bronzer or blush, so it's not like there was a lot to cleanse, relatively speaking. On the plus side, it's a gentle cleanser for sensitive skin, no offensive smell, and by a cruelty-free brand. But for me personally, I need something with a bit more cleansing action.

I had high hopes for this cleanser but after using it for 4 months I'm not impressed. I like to think of my products as must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, this one is neither.
It comes in a functional squeeze tube with the brand's standard white/green colour scheme. The product is a thin creamy consistency that turns milky when in contact with water.
I have oily sensitive skin so cleansing is an important step for me and this product does little for my skin. While it leaves my skin feeling soft (without any negative reaction) it doesn't feel "cleansed" (nowhere near deeply cleansed).
The step is almost useless because it's as if I hadn't done a good enough job despite massaging it in and leaving it on for 5 minutes or longer. I use this twice a week but could easily use it everyday because it's very gentle. However I wouldn't repurchase this, it's just not worth the splurge.
Unfortunately this product was a let down for me due to a couple of reasons. The biggest issue I had was that this creme cleanser claims to be able to remove makeup including eye makeup. I did not find this to be effective in the eye area at all, and my eyes felt irritated and watery for some time after. You would be better off using an overall makeup remover first then washing your face with this cleanser, but there are already so many other options available that can do the job in 1 - such as balms. The other issue I had is I just didn't feel like it gave me a decent clean, I knew it was non foaming but I felt with the creaminess it would be better applied and removed with a cotton ball like some other creme cleansers rather than rinsed with water.
I will say the scent was lovely and soothing and sure it was gentle on the skin, but with the price tag attached to this and the over all results ho-hum, I think I will be giving this a miss in future.
