L'Oreal Paris // Age Perfect Cleansing Milk Smooth & Anti-Fatigue Review

L'Oreal Paris // Age Perfect Cleansing Milk Smooth & Anti-Fatigue
RRP £4.99 for 200ml

This is the full 200ml that I bought from Asda for £2.50.

Usage
First use - December 23rd 2019
Last use - April 25th 2020

I would mainly use this twice day followed by my toner. On evenings when removing makeup, I would use an oil cleanser first, then micellar water and then this product.

Would I buy it: Yes. I've just started my second bottle. I bought that one last month from Sainsbury's when it was on offer again for £2.50. But £4.99 is an excellent price.

First Impressions:
This left my face feeling like it was coated in something and I was worried that I would wake up spots the day but I didn't. I haven't used a cleansing milk in years and I was worried that cutting out a foaming cleanser would leave my skin horrible but instead it looked fine. This product absorbed quickly as well and my skin looked refreshed and extremely hydrated; like I had already applied moisturiser.

Overall Impressions:
Quite possibly one of the best cleansing milks I've ever used. Way back in the day about 10 years ago I used to religiously use the Clarins cleansing milk because that is what my mother has been using for the past 30 years. I didn't really like it and I went off down a skincare rabbit hole of insane cleansers that kept trying to one up each other.

By the end of December last year I was just sick of having awful skin and so I decided drastically overhaul my products and how I used them; no more switching whenever I felt like it and consistency in application. Ever since I've ditched foaming cleansers and used this milk as my sole cleanser my skin has just completely cleared up. I can't fully describe how soft this makes my skin feel and it creates the perfect base for foundation after I've used my other products. I also noticed that my essence and serum absorb better when using it as well.

When I'm removing makeup this doesn't do very well at all and so I always use an oil cleanser first, wash that off with water and then follow up with micellar water to ensure that all traces of makeup have gone before using this cleansing milk. I've had no problems with clogged pores, and on the odd occasions I have use a foaming cleanser instead of this; I immediately broke out in spots again.

If you have sensitive skin give it a try and give up the foaming cleansers. I'm 30 soon and love using this product so don't be put off by the "For mature skin" label. You know what they say "prevention is the best cure".
