This is the best milk type cleanser I have ever used. It's the lightest and definitely the most gentle cleanser. It rinses of clean and I can't stop touching my skin afterward because I've never had skin so soft from a cleanser. This is very comparable to Dr. Hauschka's Cleansing Milk in all aspects - texture, feel and ingredients. However I find Dr.H to be second best as Primavera rinses slightly cleanser and my skin is softer than when using Dr.H. But my skin feels extraordinarily comfortable after using both. However I prefer Primavera's ingredients more so than Dr.H as Primavera seems to have more hydrating and antioxidant properties. Dr.H is better in terms of pricing by almost exactly 50mL of product. This is not including the extra discounts or gifts offered by EDS. I really wished EDS would carry Primavera. I don't think I'd ever stray from this cleanser as I find my skin a lot more clear and bright after using this cleanser (not changing any other aspect of my routine). My pores are less clogged and my skin is generally more hydrated. It really gives me a "glow". I honestly never thought a cleanser could give me this much but I  this one.
Primavera Refining Exfoliating Cleanser
Description:
Cleanse, refine and polish your way to younger looking skin
Natural Balance Refining Exfoliating Cleanser is a mild sugar-based cleanser that cleans and exfoliates the skin. Non-abrasive beads of Jojoba wax gently remove dead cells, revealing younger, smoother, more radiant skin. Rich organic plant oils infuse the skin with moisture and impart a natural glow.
Usage Notes:
who: all skin types
why: clean, fresh, exfoliated skin; tighter pores; anti-aging benefits
how: Wet skin. Apply 1-2 pumps of cleanser to the palms. Dilute with a small amount of water and press the cream thoroughly all over the face and neck. Take care around the eye area. Do not rub as this can stretch the skin. Rinse off with water.

I have replaced my Dermalogica Microfoliant with this and I'll NEVER go back. This is a miracle exfoliator and does everything the Cleansing Fluid does PLUS exfoliate my skin gently with jojoba beads. That is because is this basically the Cleansing Fluid + jojoba wax (if you compare the ingredients). But it's exactly what I need and I don't mind paying the extra 10CAD knowing I'm only getting extra jojoba beads  This leaves my skin hydrated and soft, something I've never had with an exfoliator before. I also find myself using my weekly peels/exfoliators much less when I'm using this. I also don't even exfoliate everyday anymore as I used to because this does such a good job. I finally understand how important having a hydrating cleanser is because my flakes would only go away temporarily with other exfoliators. This was because my skin was getting dried out by them *especially with the Microfoliant - dried me out even more than my old Proactiv cleanser! Now my flakes are not only being exfoliated but the dry patches are HEALING all due to both these cleansers. They both rinse off quickly and leaves NO residue at all. I may even be able to do away with toner because my skin feels so plump and soft!
The only gripe I have about it is I can ONLY get them at SaffronRouge and the huge price tags that it entails. I think they might even be more expensive than Valmont type cleansers because you only get 100mL for the price tags. Cleansing Fluid - 37CAD
Exfoliating Cleanser - 46CAD
Both are in glass bottles which are not too great for travelling but they come in hygienic pumps with a little plastic topper so it won't spill even if you take it travelling unlike other pumps which you have to decant into flip-top bottles. I find that you need only EXACTLY one pump and it's already enough for your whole face - great design being able to easily dispense the right amount. Not to mention both products smell wonderful. These will probably be my HGs forever since I don't have a reason to try anything else  |
