I really liked a product. I use it as cleansing milk with no water. And it actually cleans my skin, leaves it moist without that sticky film on a face other products for dry skin do, so face is ready for the next step. A texture is just right, not too tick, not too liquid, and thank God, no odor what so ever! I definitely purchase full size version

I was recommended this product for my normal / slightly combo sensitive skin to rehydrate and calm some irritation. It's possibly the most bizarre milk cleanser I've ever used, and that's not a good thing. It doesn't foam, but it doesn't really act like a milk either. It contains those miracles de jour "antioxidants", plus 1% soy extract, panthenol and almond extracts. Supposedly gentle, it doesn't remove make up well, but it somehow manages to leave my skin feeling stripped of moisture, and yet still "filmy" no matter how well I rinse. Maybe that's supposed to be the moisturising component, but instead of soothed, comfortable skin my face feels tight and dirty after use.
And the smell? What's going on there? It's like a cross between toilet cleaner and wet paper.
About the only good thing I can say about it is that a big tube will last you awhile if you use it in combination with a decent eye make up remover... whether you'd want to continue using it for as long as it takes to finish is another matter entirely. I definitely won't be repurchasing - most supermarket milk cleansers (L'Oreal and Nivea to name but two) do a better job than this for about a fifth of the price. Get your soy and almonds through your diet, I'm sure they'll be more beneficial that way!

I am going to try the gel cleanser this time.
I did like the milk & it did do a pretty good job but i feel there is room for improvement. To remove makeup & feel clean i needed to wash my face twice with it. The packaging is the worst i have ever seen, i wasted half a bottle of this because it leaks out of the cap. Not to mention i couldnt travel with it !
I feel this product would be great for those with sensitive skin or dry skin. But i have a slightly oily tendency & it seemed to bring this on a bit.
I am going to perservere with these products because my beautician assures me they are GREAT. Im going to try a few until i find the right one for me.

I'm not really a big fan of most Ultraceuticals products, I find them too overrated & priced. I especially did not like this product, I agree that it smells odd & the texture is a bit too milky. I also think it doesn't clean that well & leaves a residue on my skin.

This is a good product.Cleans well,foams well and is gentle.My big problem with it though is that it leaks like crazy.Its flip top is extremely unstable and I made the mistake of travelling with it and everything in my bag was slimy and wet with the leaked stuff.Lots of it still left in the tube though and it still leaks frequently.I use it regularly these days and like the squeaky clean feeling on my skin after I use it.While its a bit drying,I dont mind as it helps my other skin products absorb easily immediately after.

This is a really basic, gentle cleanser. It smells sort of odd, but is does clean nicely and doesn't aggravate my very sensitive skin. The only problem is that it is very expensive for such a basic cleanser. Of course they make all sorts of claims about what it will do for you, but really, I doubt a cleanser can do all that much other than cleanse. I originally liked Ultraceuticals, but since the price rise, I am more inclined to use the far more effective La Prairie skincare.

I recently switched to Ultraceuticals line using its milk/gel cleansers, moisturiser, ACE moisturiser, antioxidant SPF30, c-10 and even skin tone serums, they're rather pleasant in my opinion. However, I think this company should reconsider their pricing strategies, it's only an Australian based company, no freight cost, no import duties blah blah blah, how could the products charged that much in Aussie like other imported brands? Except the antioxidant spf30 (my favourite of all) which i think worth the au$60, everything else are overpriced, get what I mean? they're good, but not excellent. This Milk Cleanser with soy extract removes makeup OK. It comes in a big 200ml tube, costing au$53. If you think it could last very long, NO, I don't think so. I use up quite a lot per wash, needing a lot more usage amount than other cleansers coz it doesn't foam up. Also, it has this funky smell, claiming to be a fragrance-free product, it's natural scent is a bit unbearable. Not as gentle as it meant to be, suits my combination though. It's only an OK cleanser, I don't hate it but just think it doesn't worth the $$$ I paid :(
