IPSA Creamy Cleansing Milk - this is a foamy cleanser

It's got the best scent. Makes me feel so good everytime I wash my face. Lovely un-overwheming floral ginger-y scent. It;s got the best foam!

This is a definite holy grail foam cleanser for me!

Mich, I am combi skinned. A little dehydrated on the surface. Quite sensitive, prone to redness.

The cleanser defnitely doesn't leave a film. Even my husband likes this & he'd say something if there's a film on his fussy pot face. Oh! He who washes his face many times a day!

[michannat]

thanks stella! i'm picking this up. in need of a cleanser. i've gone through so much and i still don't know what i like.

to answer xue's poll. no favourite cleasner at the moment. was using DRX for the last few months but don't mind trying a new one. fickle ole me.

i've not used a cleansing milk before and i'm all raring to go with the IPSA one. thanks dear.
