A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & TonerBy Kelly B
Packaging: I trialled the 30ml size of the A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner which comes in an opaque plastic screw top tube. The recyclable tube is a matt finish which is easy to grip and non slip. The packaging although simple in design has an upmarket feel.
Application: The texture of the A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one
is rich and ‘creamy’ just like its name suggests. It glides onto the skin easily and feels soothing and nourishing. Despite feeling nourishing skin feels almost squeaky clean (yet totally hydrated and not at all tight). I feel this must be due to the toning ingredients (witch hazel and rose water). As skin once dried does feel firm and fresh like it does when toner has been applied.
It is almost fragrance free but I could detect a very faint scent of rose. I liked the subtle delicate fragrance as strong smells can be overpowering.
I feel that A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one removed face makeup quite well but it took several applications to get it all off. I didn’t feel that this cleanser was suitable for removing eye makeup as it really stings your eyes (which must be due to the witch hazel). Plus it wouldn’t remove my eyeliner.
I have tried many natural cleansers and for me the best ones at removing makeup, (including water proof mascara) are; Trilogy Cream Cleanser, Green People Gentle Cleanse, and Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. For those looking predominantly for a cleanser to remove makeup I do not feel A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one is the best one to try. However I do think A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one is good as a morning cleanser applied to a makeup free face. When so used I recommend being careful to only apply lightly to the eye area as this avoids stinging.
This natural A’kin cleanser leaves skin feeling hydrated, soft, dewy and refreshed. I feel that gently removing it with a warm muslin cloth intensifies the dewy appearance given by the cleanser.
Ingredients: Reassuringly A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one, and all A’kin products are free from sulfates, ethoxylates, parabens, propylene glycol, petrochemical cleansers, silicones, phthalates, mineral oils, DEA and artificial colours. Plus where possible ingredients are organic.
A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Cleanser & Toner is packed full of intensely skin nourishing, anti-oxidant rich, and anti-aging ingredients including squalane, shea butter, macademia seed oil and avocado oil. Whilst Provitamin B5 soothes the skin.
The toning ingredients in this dual cleanser and toner are witch hazel, rose water and geranium, the latter two are also anti-aging. Sandalwood is hydrating, and anti-aging.
A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one is vegan, ‘100% natural aromatherapy’ and formulated without animal testing.
Results: My skin is pretty sensitive and I found A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one to be very gentle. It really is a cleanser and toner in one as it leaves skin feeling refreshed and toned with no greasy film that some nourishing cleansers can leave behind.
I do not feel it is the best cleanser for removing makeup and it does sting the eyes if applied anything other that very lightly to this area.
I liked A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one and found it refreshing to use on awakening and skin looks radiant fresh and dewy when dried. I will use it again and would recommend it.
