I just received a HUGE sample of this as a gift with purchase. I suppose this is a preliminary review as I've only used it twice. In my opinion, "The Clarin's Method" could not possibly remove all of one's makeup AND cleanse the skin. Maybe their method would work better for the morning. My nighttime cleansing routine is to first break down makeup by allowing cold cream to sink in and carefully tissue off. I then rinse my face and massage this cleansing milk into my skin for a bit before rinsing clean. It seems to work well for my dry, acne prone skin this way.

I normally use the Clarins Foaming Cleanser but found it to be a little too drying for winter. I switched to this and my skin loves it! It is nice and creamy but doesn't leave my skin feeling slimy after rinsing. Thumbs up!!!

I have very sensitive skin and though I really wanted this cleanser to work on me, unfortunately it broke me out big time.
It does do a great job at cleaning your skin, it really removes all your make up and feels soft and gentle on your skin. This would be a perfect cleanser if you have dry skin.

This cleanser is perfect for my dry combination skin which is feeling the effects of the colder winter weather and the ravages of central heating. I have tried the 'Clarins method' as described in the information sheet that came with the product but I find the cleanser thickens up and becomes quite luxurious just by massaging into the skin well. It removes all makeup and impurities thoroughly without stripping my skin of any necessary oils. This is quite an expensive product but I am hoping I will not have to repurchase in the near future!

For this kind of brand, the package is really cheap. It would had be better a pump or something like that. I found this cleanser pretty average, nothing great and is pricier than others. It has to be used with the "Clarins´ cleansing method" but I didn´t find this any better than rubbing your face with any milky cleanser. It lives an oily cast but does not clog pores or makes my skin break out, after all I have dry skin so this didn´t bother me at all. The botlle last for ages, didn´t dry out my skin and make sure to use the toner to remove te excess of product. In conclusion, it does the job, but you can find something similar for half the price, I won´t repurchase.

This is an underrated cleanser, I think. There's nothing glamorous about its packaging or its touted benefits; it just does what it does. And to me, it does it very well. My skin is combination oily, dehydrated, prone to blackheads, and recently became more sensitive than it used to be. It took a turn for the worse this Fall and became super tight, super shiny, and was so sensitive I didn't even want to touch my skin. I think it was also partly my fault because I went back to a foaming cleanser a while back, and that really screwed things up. I really ought to listen to my gut, my research, and my beautician and stay away from foaming cleansers! But what can a girl do when she's a skincare junkie :P So even though I have combination oily skin, this cleanser works for me and it was the only thing that saved my skin since the weather turned cold. I've cleansed using the "Clarins way", but find that gentle circular motions with damp hands on a damp face does the job better. I highly doubt this is good enough on its own for make-up, so I double cleanse with a cleansing oil followed by this milk. Doesn't dry me out, and leaves my skin plump and clean. Would totally re-purchase!

Love this cleanser during the winter and have purchase several times already. Doesn't dry me out and and leaves my skin perfectly balanced after washing. Not too crazy about the packing though and would prefer a pump or something as it gets hard to get it out toward the bottom. It is not too cheap but it does last awhile. Overall a keeper for me.

I have been using this clenser for about ten years and nothing compares to it. I have tried other as i thought something cheaper give it ago but i always go back to this one. Its very good if you have dry skin. I always wash my face to take my makeup off i dont not beleive in using wipes or clensers to remove makeup. Once i have washed my face i apply this with my hands and sooth over then with my hands i apply them flat to my face and pull away. Then with a cotton wool pad i wipe off what ever residue is left. Then i apply my clarins toner works like magic. The smell is also amazing.

I love Clarin's Cleansing Milk With Alpine Herbs. This gently clenses my face most thoroughly and leaves my skin feeling nourished, soft, silky and calmed.
Thisproduct has the most ODD application instructions: apply to the palms of one's hands then use in a cup like motion over one's face and neck. Wel, I've tried that and it works o.k. in removing makeup, dirt, oil, etc and leaves my sking nice and soft. On the other hand, if I aplly this to my face and then scrub in a circular motion with my palms and fingers (as I do with most cleansers) it works even better.
I do love Clarins Cleansing Milk in that it leaves my skin feeling soft and silky. It calms my skin nicely when I have don (or perhaps over-done) home micro-dermabrsion systems, in the a.m. after Retin-a, when my skin is just feeling dry and tight or irritated. This is my go-to cleansing milk for those moments.
Will I buy it again, definately....well worth the price, which, by the way, is not all that high at about $20 - $25 for a 7 ounce bottle depending on where one shops (try Marshalls/Kohl's/Macy's)

well i found this cleanser roaming around on net.. i see very good review of it so i want to try it out but then see couple down side reviews and makes me think again.... should i give it a try.... i have dry skin ....

I should say this isn't the kind of cleanser I would ever pick up honestly, mainly because it’s made specifically for dry skin and mine is combination to oily depending on the time of year. I suffer from spots occasionally but also get dry patches on my cheeks – so a whole range of problems!

Anyway, I got it by chance from a friend who was moving and trying to get rid of stuff she didn’t use. I couldn’t believe how well it worked for my skin! It doesn’t leave any horrible residue like some moisturising cleansers and never leaves me with a tight feeling. It’s gentle and my skin is left clean and smooth. It removes makeup very well too. I always cleanse twice but I find 90% of my makeup is gone within the first cleanse. When I went to repurchase I was actually happily surprised by the price. I think £16 is pretty reasonable for a high end brand – maybe it’s just that I was worried it would be £20-£25? 200ml is a fair amount of product for the price too.

I use this in addition to my Avene extremely gentle cleanser and my skin has drastically (no, really DRASTICALLY!) improved since the days of using just wipes. I really can't think of a down side to this product so I guess there’s a first time for everything! Hope this review was helpful to some of you :)

this cleanser is very soft. i use it for heavy make-up, it cleans my skin absolutely ok.
it is very easy to rinse off with water, which is important to me, don`t like to rub for ages to get off the silicone-oil feeling.
it leaves just the right amount of oil on the skin so i don`t have to use skincare immediately.
it gives a smooth skin, no dry feeling and fresh scent.

I am a believer in soft ways, even for oily skin.
I have been using this for one year so far, I have tried other products but none has met my expectations like this one.
It is awesome to remove make up around the eyes!
Since I have oily skin I use it to remove make-up only: a gentle acne wash follows up to remove residues that could clog my pores. Thanks goodness it doesn't contain Paraffinum Liquidum or other horrors that many upscale brands still use.
The smell is aromatic and particular.

This cleanser smells divine. A very nice, clean and herbal scent.
It cleanses really well, removes all of my makeup (foundation, concealer, blush etc). When i go over it with a cottonpad soaked in toner afterwards, there's nothing coming off my face. You have to use it correctly though, otherwise it won't work. Clarins advises to use their suction-cleansing method, which feels soothing when applied in the evening, but is kinda time consuming in the morning. But that's okay with me.
The way i use it is: i warm the cleanser in my hands, apply it all over my face and neck, lay hands flat against face and lift them off quickly. Do not massage! i'll do this for like 6-10 times. Then i'll take it off with a damp tissue and follow with a toner.
Afterwards my skin feels clean, but not tight at all. My skin is glowy and best of all, it didn't break me out.
The only downside of this product (besides the high price ofcourse) is the packaging. You can't really control the amount of cleanser coming out, there's always a little bit too much product coming out, even if you barely squeeze.
Overall, great product, little pricey, not sure if i'll repurchase (cause i always want to try new stuff).

Overall this product works and is recommended.
I wasn't a fan of the application though. I was advised to apply this in a patting motion over my face then rinse, which is easy enough but time consuming when you're in a rush or are tired. Also I prefer a product I can use in the shower too.
However, whilst using this as part of an overall Clarins skincare regime (with the Toning Lotion with Camomile) my skin was noticeable improved. Before, my skin had some dry patches and blemishes. After use, my skin was soft and even, and glowing the following morning after use. I use this after already using a make-up remover.
At present I won't buy this again immediately as I prefer a product I can use in the shower too, but if you can offer time for skincare regime then the outcome is worth it. I will try other products and return to this if I cannot find a faster alternative.

it didn't clean well, clogged my pores and leave sticky feeling on my face. i didn't know because of it or hydra quench cooling gel or combination of both products, my skin feel so dried and clogged everywhere. also it's too expensive.

I'm always on the lookout for a gentle, effective cleanser and this is gentle but it's not effective. On the plus side, it's smooth and comforting and doesn't irritate my rosacea. However, it doesn't remove makeup and it doesn't rinse clean. I'm not a fan of cleansers that leave a film on my face even after I've rinsed with water.

Love this! I'm on my second bottle. My skin is very dry and therefore I cannot wash it twice a day so I use this with a cotton ball and tone after with matching Clarins toner. I use this in the evening and I wash my face with foaming cleanser in the morning. I love the way it smells and feels. It's very gentle but does enough cleansing for me (I don't wear heavy make up). Will continue to repurchase cause I'm addicted to the silky feel it gives my skin.

Wanted to love this, love the smell and texture. But it is too heavy for my skin. Even the Clarins lady said it was wrong for me. I am breaking out and my cores are clogged. It also does not remove makeup like Avene Sensitive does. Back it goes.

I've been using this on and off for years. Always go back to it when my skin acts up. Smells nice and very gental on my dry sensitive skin. Never breaks me out.
