My current cleanser of choice is NUXE Melting Cleansing Gel with Rose Petals. Unlike the Avene Gentle Purifying Scrub, this is one of the products I had on my to buy list. It's available in the UK though so if you fancy the sound of it, you can easily purchase a tube.
NUXE isn't a brand I know a lot about, I've only tried one or two products, so, for blogging purposes and because my cleanser stash was running low I decided to try something different and went for this rose scented cleanser. For some reason I was expecting the texture to be a very light balm. I know it's called Melting Cleansing Gel but the melting part made me imagine a balm. The texture is gel but not like any other gel cleanser I've tried before. It's almost like a cross between a lotion and gel, and an opaque light cream/pink shade. The directions say to massage it on to wet skin but I apply it as I would a cleansing balm, adding water after giving my face a good massage first and remove it with a flannel. It removes makeup well and a double cleanse removes mascara completely. This cleanser is designed for people with normal to combination sensitive skin which I definitely agree with. Although I don't find it drying, I imagine anyone with very dry skin would need something more noursihing like a balm but for most skin types it makes a great AM cleanser. It feels light, fresh and doesn't leave any residue behind.
The rose scent is quite strong. If you don't like anything rosy, you won't like this. I was expecting the scent to irritate my eyes but it hasn't at all, same goes for my skin. Again, I can't remember how much I paid but I know it was a lot more than it is in the UK. Why is Paris so expensive? I was expecting the French brands to be so much cheaper over there but no.
Have you tried this cleanser?

ReplyDeleteIt does sound like a lovely product and I've been wanting to try something from Nuxe for ages, they seem like a great brand. Love your pics btw! x
ReplyDeleteThe mask I'm trying from them seems really good too, it's from the Creme Fraiche range. Thanks :)

Oooh, I have a Melting Cleansing Gel from Clarins, I expect this is less expensive, which is great! The Clarins one was 27€ - I kinda splurged on it for my birthday. It is quite lovely though! x

Yes the NUXE cleansing gel is less expensive than the Clarins one in the UK. Does the Clarins Melting Cleansing Gel contain mineral oil?
