I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green.  Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...

Thoughts:

- Smells faintly of honey, I do not like honey scents much

- For evening cleanse, I wish for a harsher product, especially if I have makeup and I use a cleansing oil that doesn't rinse off well

- Expensive for a cleanser



+ Creamy, soft on skin, no foam but melts and glides on skin well

+ Washes off well, leaves skin soft, not stripped at all, but still strangely clean, no product residue yet not tight

+ Doesn't irritate or sting eyes, haven't had breakouts

+ Excellent as a morning cleanser and evening cleanser for days when I do not have much makeup or heavy sunscreen

+ Best cream cleanser I've tried (but haven't tried many!)

* Cleansers like Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser are not usually my cup of tea, I find cream cleansers too heavy and not effective on combination-oily skin. I got this cleanser mini from LF Advent Calendar and I have seen a lot of praise.

* I wonder if other goat milk products are good as well. Did a quick search and I don't see much on the market despite goat milk being described as a great ingredient.

* It would be interesting to try other products from Kate Somerville as well but I think the price range limits my experiments. Plus the availability in Europe is poor so I would have to go out of my way to order them.

Price: 

About 43 € / 120 ml full size

Got from Lookfantastic Advent Calendar

Buy again? 

Maybe on a sale?

Worth the money? 

Quite honestly, I feel Kate Somerville Goat Milk Moisturizing Cleanser is more on the "luxury price" side and it isn't worth the money for me. It is excellent but in the end I get as good skin with a more powerful yet gentle Garnier Micellar Gel Cleanser that costs 5 € for 200 ml. Of course these cleansers aren't otherwise comparable at all. I think around 23-28 € would be a fair price that would make me jump on Goat Milk Cleanser again!
