 All-in-One Cleansing Micellar Milk + Makeup Remover - Very Dry/Dry

Been using this for a while and for the first time and I like how gently it is on my skin. I am 40yo and I don't have any blemishes or decolorations or even super sensitive skin but I am starting with my fine lines and want to be gentle on my skin. This one surely doesn't perfectly remove my mascaras but it loosens them well enough and then I use the Take the day off eye makeup remover to completely remove my mascaras. I read complainings about this cleanser not cleaning well enough but you are not supposed to feel siper clean if it is intended for dry skin.. if people need a more harsh cleanser then they should use one for normal skin. I will buy this one again and again. Also, I always follow with a cotton ball with toner to removed any trace of foundation that is left on my face and this has always been the case even while using other cleansers.

Since the eye makeup remover lotion was reformulated a very long time ago, I stopped being able to use it.The new ( early 2000's)version burned my eyes, so did Cetaphil cleanser, so you understand how sensitive I am! At that time, I had been using the Comforting Cream Cleanser to take off my face makeup. I then realized that it also made an amazing eye makeup remover, even better than the lotion specifically for eyes, and Cetaphil, because it lifted off waterproof mascara and everything else when just massaged into the eyes and then removed with a wet cotton ball, and the face was tissued off and then gone over with the Mild Clarifying Lotion (only one that was alcohol free and tolerated by my skin, and also discontinued for quite awhile!!). So when I saw this released, I was sure that it was finally the replacement for the long gone Comforting Cream Cleanser. I bought it immediately! Even in the extra mild version, it burned my eyes and didn't remove makeup nearly as well as my old favorite! I know that I am unusually sensitive, but there must be products on the market, especially by Clinique, which was my mother's go to brand, and I was introduced to it when there were virtually no other fragrance free products on the market! News of a bonus week was like a holiday for me! Today there are many FF and "clean" products available across all price categories. However, I still have not been able to find a cream cleanser that removes all makeup without causing irritation or a greasy residue in my eyes (Take the Day Off Balm, I am talking to you!). If anyone knows of any dupes for the Cleanser or Mild Clarifying Lotion, Clinique reps or fellow consumers, the info would be greatly appreciated.

I am almost 41yo and my skin is pretty good. Nevertheless, I have tried many different cleansers and this one is the best one so far. Like I said my skin doesn't require too much. I don't suffer from acne or have blemishes hence why I need something mild and not too harsh.I found that many of the cleansers I tried before left my skin dry. The creamy texture of this one is perfect! I wipe it off with a warm washcloth and follow with toner. I bought it over the black Friday week so I got a 30% discount and I got the cleaner and the Take the Day Off makeup remover on sale.

I'm only using this as an eye makeup remover, but it works great taking off everything - even waterproof mascara. I took one point of because it says that it's for contact lens wearers, but I wouldn't use this on my eyes with contacts in. You don't want to get this in your eyes.

This product does not in any way remove dirt and oil from your face. It's apparent when I use a cotton ball with my toner. I wouldn't recommend
