Clarins Velvet Hydrating Cleansing Milk

Watery

This stuff is a pale shadow of the former Clarins Milk Cleanser, which was nice and creamy. This cleanser has a nice scent but it's really watered down. Once again, I'm disappointed in the direction that Clarins has taken. It used to be my favorite line, but no more.

Gentle treat

Velvet Facial Milk Cleanser gently cleans my face and I love the smell. Its like a treat for me on a daily basis. I've been using Clarins products for 45 years and when I tell people I'm 70 yrs old, they are shocked. They think I'm in my 50's. Thanks Clairins for keeping me looking younger.

Miss the old formula of Alpine cleansing milk.

I had been using the herbal Alpine cleansing milk for normal to dry skin for about 30 years and am not that happy with the change to the velvet cleansing milk. It is akay but still prefer the older formula. Will use as it is still better than other brands I have tried.

Velvet Cleansing Milk

I have been using Clarins products for over 15 years.

Sorry that the the Cleansing lotion with Alpine Herbs was discontinued, but the Velvet Cleaning lotion is very good also. It has a luxurious feeling and my skin feels wonderful after using.

I didn't want a chemical exfoliant

I bought this product to use it every day, to remove my make up. I don't use a lot of makeup and still it does not remove it correctly.

BUT the main problem is that my face actually hurts. After noticing this I read the ingredients to find out it contains citric acid, so it chemically exfoliates my skin. My face feels swollen and itchy after using it. It should be clear it's ment to be an exfoliant and not a cleansing make up remover since it should not be used in eyes either. I feel decieved.

Not the same quality as 15-20 years ago

Unfortunately, Clarins products are not the same quality as 15-20 years ago. This cleanser is not as rich or velvety, and the scent is not as natural as it once was. Not good for dry skin. Will try oil cleanser before giving up.

Velvet Cleansing Milk (C's "NEW" Green Formula)

I just learned Clarins has 'reformulated' both their Cleansing Milks, DISCONTINUING both the blue-colored Alpine Herb infused one made for normal to dry skin and the pale cream-colored one, for oily to combination skin, along with their former toners. I've used the blue, normal-to-dry skin formula for 30 years. I was a teen when I discovered it. It was one of the best cleansers I've ever used, ever. So luxurious with a beautifully mild, subtle scent that's so typical in French skincare and cosmetic products. Today I tried the new (FOR ALL SKIN TYPES) Velvet formula as it's referred to; Number 1: not all skin is the same...,but I wanted to love it, so gave it a try. To say that I was disappointed is a gross understatement. The New formula is nothing like the old formulas - either one. The old formula would melt into your skin, leaving no visible residue, instead, it actually gave you a bit of a glow and it actually acted as a barrier to the elements. You could leave it on all day, even wear it as a primer tor in lieu of a moisturizer. It had a delicate dewy finish. You didn't have to rinse it off if you didn't want to. In contrast, the new formula leaves a white paste on your face as you massage it in. It MUST be rinsed off. It doesn't penetrate the skin as (both) the old formulas did, it sits on top, nor is it as emollient. It feels like your average synthetic drugstore cleanser and it' actually feels drying and tacky to the touch, until rinsed off. I left it on for a few minutes to see if it would improve. Instead, I could feel it tightening and drying on my skin. It's not soothing, it was uncomfortable. In addition, the scent does not compare to the former. It's just, well, nothing special. I have been a huge Clarins fan practically all my life and so today is a sad day for me. I will no longer be purchasing Clarin's cleansers and I definitely would not recommend this product. If you haven't tried the old formulas, you might not find this product so bad, after all, you don't know what you're missing!

Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk to the rescue!!🤗

This cleansing milk is magical! My skin was looking old, hard and dried out, but after using Clarins Velvet Cleansing Milk, it is soft and supple and beautiful again! Thanks, Clarins!! I LOVE this product! ❤️

Miss the old one

I used the green cleaning milk for over 15 years and this one is not as good. It also has a stronger scent- which is not reco'd anymore by my dermatologist. And as a migraine sufferer I can't use it. Sensitivity to smells is a trigger for us migraineurs- 4 out of 5 being women- clarins should take note.

disappointed with new cleansing milk

I had been using the old cleansing milk for more than 20 years. It was a favorite of mine. The new cleansing milk has a strong smell that lingers a very long time. Even after rinsing several times, the scent remains. I have a sensitivity to strong scents, so I will not be able to use this product.
