In the test queue - REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk

I like to try out new products, but I have to introduce them slowly to try and prevent any major reactions to products. I patch test every new product in the same area, my cheek, chin and nose. My chin and nose are where I experience any breakouts, if I have one. My cheek is where I experience no breakouts, so I test there to see if a new product would cause a breakout in that area, and if it did, the product would be unsuitable for me. I patch test new products for four weeks, to give my skin time to react to the product.

I'm currently testing the REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk.



Although it's called a cleansing milk, it has much more of a whipped texture, like a cream, more than a milk. I like the pump packaging, it's very efficient.

My first impressions of this product were disappointing. I had such high hopes for this product. It sinks in quite quickly once massaged onto the skin, and it comes off easily with a face cloth, but it's just disappointing. The smell is a bit strange, as well. It cleanses well, so I'll use it up, but I don't imagine I would buy it again. It didn't irritate my skin, which is always a good thing. But it's missing something. I won't miss it once I've finished using it. But if you're in the market for a gentle cleanser, this could be something to try.

Rating: 5/10
