UPDATE: Everything from this line has broken me. The moisturizer, cleanser and toner. After 3 days of use all together and 3 days of use using the products individually alongside good ol reliables I got a terrible blackhead breakout all over my face. Will not repurchase.

I don't mind this but I do like my Avene milk cleanser better. The reason I am not a huge fan is because I do feel like it leaves a bit of a residue behind. It doesn't strip your face which I love but it also does leave something behind. If you have tried any other Sukin products it does have the same smell which is very planty smelling haha- its not an added fragrance though. I probably will buy this again because it is natural but there are cream cleansers and milk cleansers out there that I do prefer to this one.

I love most of the range from sukin.it works great even on my oily face but I don't think it's good enough on its own to get my makeup/sunscreen off.if I didn't wear makeup for the day I go straight to this.its lovely and I never breakout from it

i think after trying so many Sukin products, i've just converted my entire skincare routine to Sukin. all their skincare products work wonderfully and are so natural and good for my oily/combination, acne-prone skin, this cleanser does a fantastic job and it's super affordable!

I wanted to try Sukin after seeing the mostly good reviews here. This is the first product I tried, as I was looking to replace the Nivea Cleansing Milk I was using.

I think it does the job well enough. I wear little make-up. And its my habit to use a cotton pad to wash off my cream cleansers. As its quite emollient, it will not work that well if you just wash it off.

Pump bottle is easy to use. Leaves the skin clean but not tight, no breakouts. No harmful chemicals which is the higher price to pay compared to Nivea which is also quite emollient and tend to give me little bumps. Already stocked my second bottle :-)

EDIT:
I no longer purchase this, as I find it it a little too emollient. Still looking for the right make-up remover/cleanser

I love this product as it has natural ingredient and I never have a bad reaction to it. It leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed. I wish it would remove my makeup too, but its not harsh enough. I use the sukin moisturiser afterwards.. works like a charm

I love the naturalness of this product, the price point and the attractive packaging. This is a good cleanser for dry skin as it doesn't strip skin of any moisture as well as leaving a film of 'moisture' behind on the skin. I don't find this to be an effective enough moisturiser in the summer when my skin needs more thorough cleansing as it can't remove my budgeproof Japanese sunscreens, and the film of moisture left behind makes me feel as if the cleanser is not doing as effective a job as it should. However, now that it's colder, my skin is drier and I'm using lighter sunscreens, I'm quite enjoying this. I will still do a second pass with another cleanser or exfoliating product if I'm wearing foundation, but if there's not much going on on my face other than a light moisturiser/sunscreen and some powders, then this works quite well.

I've bought this when I've been really low on cash because it is an effective cleanser and the formula is low in/ has no artificial ingredients.

It's an ok cleanser. It cleanses well, removes makeup effectively when used in a specific way. i.e. wet face with warm water, massage cream over face and wipe off with a face cloth or cotton pads.

But I need something that is also soothing. And although this cleanser didn't cause any breakouts and cleansed very well it didn't calm my skin.

So I will buy this again if I'm desperate, but my skin would prefer a a more soothing moisturiser.

I use this as a morning cleanser in the shower and then a rich makeup remover, a pre cleanser step of a night.
It contains cocoa which can clog my pores but as i follow with a foaming cleanser of a night it removes excess. If I massage this cleanser into dry skin and around my eyes really well I never wake up with racoon eyes!
If you have normal-oily skin and are just using this as a regular cleanser, you will not like it at all. I also recommend following with a toner just too make sure!

It is 'only' 125ml for 9.95, but only need half a pump to remove liquid foundation, mascara and some eyeliner. It will probably last 2 months.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful cleanser. I use this combined with a washcloth in the shower. I first rub the cleanser on to my dry skin, then wash off in the shower - give it a bit of a rub with a clean, wet washcloth and voila - beautifully clean, soft skin. I follow this with the Sukin Rosehip oil. My skin loves this.

Love it! My HG cream cleanser
My routine: I wet the lush baby face cleanser and apply to my eye area only (since I wear so much eyemakeup lol), then I use one pump of this stuff over my whole face. Then I remove/rinse with a warm wet washcloth, and tone and moisturise.

I really feel that this product does what it says it says it does. It cleans. It doesn't dry my combo skin out. It doesn't irritate my skin in any way. Also, it effectively removes my mmu (I wasn't expecting it to get all my eyemakeup off, but it does make a significant contribution).

It smells nice. It's a "natural" product.It's the same price as the cheapest supermarket cleanser I can find. AND it has a pump!

My only concern is that it might be too moisturising for summer. However, I'll try their other cleanser if it is. Would definitely reccomend, and buy again.

Sure, this smells absolutely devine and is certainly very gentle and non-drying and makes my skin feel soft, so I really wanted to love this. BUT its just nowhere near effective enough as a cleanser for me. I hardly wear heavy makeup by any standard yet this "cleanser" is simply hopeless at removing foundation and mascara. After cleasning with this I wiped my face with a facial wipe and was horrified to find how much makeup was still on my face - seriously it was a joke! The formula is very thick and hard to wash off at the basin. The only way I can satisfactorily use this is in the shower with copius amounts of water and a washcloth and I suspect that its the washcloth that actually does the cleansing. Plus I hate the silly tiny little bottle it comes in - what good is 125ml of cleanser seriously? Might be OK if you don't wear makeup - but beware, I would be swiping my face with a facial wipe after use just to make sure it is actually removing the grime from your face. Won't repurchase.

I am so glad i decided to buy this! It smells AMAZING and i love using it. After suffering from EXTREMELY dry patches on my face that looked terrible and horrible when wearing makeup i binned all my face products with harsh chemicals. Since using this along with the moisturiser my skin which i have NEVER been able to get soft, smooth and moisturised now glows. If i'm wearing heavy makeup i either remove it first with a gentle wipe, or simply use this cleanser twice. I've never had problems with many pimples, however i occasionaly get a few on my chin and before switching to this cleanser i had lots of small bumps all along my forehead. Since using this i havent had one pimple :) After doing lots of research into other organic skincare lines, this cleanser is one of the best. Its packed full of vitamins, essential fatty acid, and natural safe products to keep skin clear. It's all natural and best of all the price is GREAT especially compared to other organic skincare lines. I cant wait to give the other products in the line a go to. I truely recommend anyone to switch to all natural products, its so much better for your skin. If you are suffering from dry or combination skin i would highly recommend this.
Ingredients: Aqua, organic Aloe Vera, Nettle, Burdock, Horsetail, Sesame oil, Palm Kernel Alcohol, Ceteareth-20 (Vegetable), Glycerin (vegetable), Avacodo oil, Rose Hip oil, Cocoa butter, Wheat germ oil, Shea butter, Jojaba oil, Tangerine essential oil, Mandarin essential oil, Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate (Suttocide) Vegetable, Citric acid, Grapfruit seed Extract, Lavender essential oil, Vanilla extract :)

Edit 13/11/09: I'm now using this alone since my avocado oil went bad (and I hadn't even used 3/4s of it?!) and fortunately this is working fine and cleansing well enough so that I'm not breaking out. I rinse my face with warm water and rub this in, then at the end of my shower I use a warm wash cloth to take it off. If I wore makeup that day I'll apply twice. The first application I'll remove by tissuing it off and the second is with the washcloth. The only thing is I have to use a lot more of this than with natural oils. I'd recommend this to those looking for a cream cleanser or alternative to cleansing oils - it definitely beats Clinique Take The Day Off balm, in effectiveness and price!! I also recommend following up with a toner to pick up remaining traces of dirt. It is definitely moisturising and leaves my skin soft without any film on top. It's very affordable and I love the smell too~!

As with all sukin products I've used, it smells fantastic. I find it very gentle yet it does still do the job on my very sensitive, dermatitis affected - and currently acne prone also - skin. Also the cheapest organic natural cleanser i have found.

Sukin is an australian brand of organic skincare, with most products around the $10 mark. The cream cleanser comes in a 125ml pump dispenser and smells of tangerines and vanilla, very yummy. As a cleanser it's quite thorough and does a decent job on light makeup such as powder, blush, eye pencil, non waterproof mascara, and zinc oxide sunblock. I don't think it would do a fantastic job on really heavy eye makeup, which is why I have ticked that I would not rebuy. This is marketed as suitable for all skin types, especially dry and sensitive, however I feel it might be a touch too drying for some skin types. I have normal/combination skin, and it leaves my skin feeling extremely clean, almost to the point of feeling tight. At $10 for 125mls it's higher priced than many commonly available cleansers, but one of the less expensive organic ones. Whether you consider it good value for money depends entirely on how much you value organic skincare. As I am not fully convinced of the benefits of all organic products, I don't feel this is the best value around. If it took off heavy eye makeup I might feel differently.
Edit - I have now decided I will rebuy. Half a pump is plenty to clean my skin and remove zinc oxide sunblock, and one and a half pumps is plenty to clean off makeup, including non waterproof eye makeup. I have discovered the secret to making this work perfectly and not be drying on the skin. Splash the face really really well with warm water. This helps the cleanser emulsify, means you can use less and still get really clean without feeling stripped.
