Alternative to Clinique cream cleanser
Comments

I tried Ponds Cold Cream cleanser yesterday! I usually buy Elemis and Clinique one in a tub (balm one that you rinse off) but thought I would try the Ponds one, it was really good! I was a bit worried as I have combination skin and thought it might have been a bit too greasy, but it was fine, took EVERYTHING off, and left my skin really soft and comfortable after.0

I've used everything! My absolute fave is this, it is so gentle but very effective:
http://www.boots.com/en/Eau-Thermale-Avene-Extremely-Gentle-Cleanser-200ml_1576/?CAWELAID=334478709&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engines-_-Google%20Base-_---_-Eau%20Thermale%20Avene%20Extremely%20Gentle%20Cleanser%20%20200ml
I also use the OCM a few days a week, which leaves my skin feeling lovely and always removes my mascara completely.

Hi, I have eyed this up a few times. Does it take eye make up off OK as it says its for eyes also.0 -
Try the Body Shop's Nutriganics™ Foaming Face Wash or Cleansing Gel, £8
I've got a great tip for mascara. Just before you cleanse get a cotton pad and soak with hot-ish water and place over your eyes. It just melts the mascara off and is free!! Repeat the process and then finally your cleanser will get rid of the rest.0 -
I really like the superdrug essentials chamomile cleanser. It's very soothing on my dry, sensitive skin, not tested on animals and it only costs around £1.0

I've been using this for the last few months and I really rate it too.0 -
Love Burt's Bees "Soap bark and chamomile Deep cleansing cream". Very gentle so can be used on the eye area and lasts ages.0
