Guinot Hydra Tendre (Soft Wash-Off Cleansing) - 150ml

I love this cleanser, and I don't know what I would do without it. I've been using Guinot's wash-off clenser ever since it was used in a facial I had before a friend's wedding. It's become so much part of my daily routine that I almost take it for granted! But I soon notice if I can't use it - if I forget to take it on holiday, for instance - as my skin becomes noticeably less soft and more 'murky' looking. It's reasonably priced for the quality of the cream, which is smooth, rich but not too creamy and has a wonderful perfume. It never 'tightens' my skin ever, which is why I like it. So many cleansers are a bit harsh for 45-year-old skin. Certainly those I used from Clinique and Clarins did. In addition, it's wash-off, which means I can apply it in the shower. This is so much easier than a wipe-off cleanser - and quicker in the morning, when every extra minute of sleep in bed counts!

Preferring wash off face cleansers I have found most products to be too drying. This cleanser leaves your face feeling clean but not taut. It also smells great which is a bonus. This is quite pricey but a little goes a long way.
