L'Occitane Ultra Gentle Cleansing Milk and Gentle Toner

Over the last 4 months I have been using the Ultra Gentle Cleansing Milk and Gentle Toner from L'Occitane instead of my regular cleanser from Decléor. I wanted to test both products on a daily basis to see how they would perform. This is the first time I bought face care products from L'Occitane and I can happily say that their face care line is as lovely as their body care lines.

I will first talk about the cleansing milk (17 Euros for 200ml) as this is the product the cleansing should start with. The product comes in a plastic bottle with a pump falcon. Yes, you heard right a cleanser for 17 Euros is being sold in a simple but useful plastic packaging. I do not particularity like such packaging at that price point but but it serves the purpose and has low weight when travelling.

This is how the product looks like:

The cleansing milk is a creamy white liquid with a very light floral scent which I personally like. I am applying the milk on a cotton pad and then cleanse my face including the eye area. On my skin it does not burn or anything else not even around the eyes. I remove all my makeup with the cleansing milk and the gentle toner without using any additional cleansing product afterwards. The cleansing milk really takes down all the foundation and eye makeup (non- waterproof). Once I see that the cleansing milk is not removing any more makeup I am moving over to the Gentle Toner.

The Gentle toner (17 Euros for 200ml) comes also in a plastic packaging with spray dispenser. As I sad above the packaging is not very appealing for products at that price.
I like that the toner comes as a spray because it is very refreshing to spray it softly over the cleansed skin. The toner has the same light scent as the cleansing milk. Once the product is sprayed on my face I use a cotton pad to remove all access cleansing milk and usually the toner also removes last make up traces even though you thought you had everything removed.

Overall both products performed great over the last months! I always had a very clean skin after the application. I never had any breakouts or other skin irritations while using the milk and toner. This is a huge thumbs up and definitely worth a try for everybody with sensible skin.

Summing up:

Pros:

• Cleanses sensitive skin gently
• Great cleansing abilities
• Lovely Scent

Cons:
