    Like the previous reviewer, even though this is marketed for sensitive skin, this stung me. I experienced a burning sensation through my dry cheeks and even more so if I apply this with a cotton...

    I have PPP, very sensitive skin, that gets very, very dry in the winter months. My face would always be flushed after washing it, but I never even considered it could be due to rinsing with water!...

    Previous reviewers have likened the colour and consistency of this loose gel to mucous, but my gutter-level mind tends to alight on its similarity to a more intimate bodily fluid. If I can think...

    Extremely gentle yet it contains SLS! Boo. This is in my washbag as a spare. Cleaned my skin but I prefer the Clinique anti redness cleanser. I can only buy Avene from Boots online.
