Wow.
Okay - there's cleansing creams,... then there's cleansing creams. and this is one in the later group.
That said, let me explain a proper cleansing cream: In order to like a good cleansing cream you have to kind of give up on the idea of soapy goodness. Cream cleansers are aimed at dry skin, usually more mature skin (by that I mean girls over the age of 35, or if you smoke you may need one sooner). They work by supplying emolients and moisturizers to the skin without soap and then you usually wipe it off with a damp washcloth and rinse the face well (since it's easy to leave residue).

What caught my attention with this cream cleanser is they snuck in some Menthol. They say NOTHING about Menthol on the packaging, but then you glide it on your face and here comes the tinglies.
It removed my concealer, foundation, powders & blush really well. However, DO NOT put this near your eyes or you will want to scream bloody murder. Instead try a seperate eye makeup remover before using your cream cleanser so when you do your final rinse it will take off the residue from your eye makeup remover.
There's a couple good things about this. 1. Cream Cleansers alot of times leave you feeling kind of dirty, meaning they have a lot of slip and can feel like an oil spil. But the tingly sensation feels refreshing so you never get that impression. 2. This isn't your grandmother's cream cleanser that smelled like... well let's face it girls.... old ladies. It leaves a clean burst.
That said... I hate menthol. Why you may ask? I'm really into scents, and menthol reminds me of cigarettes. ugh. *chuckles* That said... that's my own personal thing, it doesn't smell a thing like cigarettes. (try that paragraph for confusing)
Bottom line?: Need a Cream Cleanser? This should be your pick!
