Marcelle Spring 2017 – Skin care

The rest of Marcelle Spring 2017 PR package included a cleanser and makeup remover, which I like and want to tell you about, in case you have not seen them in store. 

Blue and white toned packaging, simple and cute eh? Skin care has become more of a high priority for me over the last year, so I certainly give these some good testing.

The Gentle cleansing exfoliation cream is just what it sounds like, if you need a one-line review (no I wouldn’t do that to you) and the Gentle makeup remover pads for sensitive eyes is just as good as you remember Marcelle’s makeup remover pads are.

The Gentle cleansing exfoliation cream is creamy, gentle on the skin even with the exfoliating action (thanks to the micellar technology), said to be good for all skin types.

The instructions say to apply to damp and well cleansed skin, massage and rinse with water. This means the product does more exfoliating than cleansing, a second cleanse following your cleansing oil ideally.

The texture is very fluffy, almost like whipped, with random tiny blue dots scattered through out. They are very gentle though, you would not be able to feel them, no worry.

I like how soft and hydrated the skin feels after, but if you are not a double cleanse person, you might find this cleanser not doing a good cleansing job on its own.

Now Marcelle has been making makeup remover pads for a long time, but recently revamped the line and come out with a few versions of them.

This one is the Gentle makeup remover pads for sensitive eyes (waterproof, non greasy).
