Silk Touch Cleanser

I like the way this cleanser becomes creamy when water is added and love the scent. When I first tried a sample of this cleanser that I had been sent I found it a little too heavy and a few spots appeared. However, since stopping my HRT, I now find that this cleanser is good for my slightly drier skin.

I like to have a product in the shower for cleaning my face in the morning and so tried this. It was very nice, however the only thing I didn't like was that the product seems to have absorbed the smell of the plastic container? It is a shame, as I like the way the product goes creamy with the addition of a bit of water. Am going to try another cleanser and see if the same issue - I appreciate recycling is good, but just don't like that subtle smell of plastic.

Hi Sarah, glad to hear you like the Silk Touch Cleanser! We can't say we have come across this before... there shouldn't be a connection between recycled plastic and a smell. There's no compromise on quality, just kindness to the environment. It may be that storing/using it in a hot steamy shower might release a slight plastic smell – not to mention shorten the 'period after opening' (PAO) of the skin care product (and not especially designed to be used in the shower!) Do let us know if you come across the problem with another product though.

This is the best cleanser I have used by far! The oily texture is gentle on the skin and by adding water the oil turns into a milk that dissolves make-up.

I have used many cleansers over the years and this is by far the best one. I love that it goes on like an oil so it is gentle on the skin and once water is added it turns into a milk that washes away make-up easily. Highly recommended.

I love this cleanser, it feels supersoft on the skin and my skin is supersoft after using it. It is my favourite evening cleanser as I don't like night moisturisers, just a spritz of toner. It has a lovely smell and is great for removing make-up too. It is quite a thick consistency so you have to pay attention when applying it to make sure it gets everywhere you want but the great thing about that is you're in control, it's not drippy! A lovely soft clean fleeling results after rinsing with water.

I was curious to try this as I do like wash off cleansers but find them drying for my skin. This is a gel which is so silky and easy to massage over face and neck and then when water splashed on skin turns into a soft milk. It has the advantage over cream cleansers in that it that washes off easily. I have found that my skin does not feel dry and I rate this as one of the best cleansers I have used. It has no scent which suits me and now on second bottle as have had no reaction to it. (Have very sensitive skin).

I don't use make up that often but when I do I usually use neat coconut oil to remove it because my skin is prone to react to just about any cleanser I've ever tried. Its not that effective but in the absence of an alternative and the expense of ongoing trials of various products it would do. So I was pleased to discover that Odylique offer a smaller tube at a lower price. I was even more pleased to discover that not only does this take make up off but eye make up too!! Silky is the right description for this product because it feels silky when putting it on and leaves your skin feeling silky when you take it off. If your skin is as tricky as mine then I recommend trying this product over the creamy coconut cleanser which seems to be more astringent and I find a tad burny and that's probably because of the lemon whereas this one is simply silky :-)

I had been using the Creamy Coconut Cleanser, but received this a Free Gift and as I have mature skin thought I'd give it a go - I am very glad I did! It is a bit unusual when you first use it, it is almost like putting vaseline on your skin, but don't be put off because when you add water using your fingers it turns into a delightful soft milk which easily washes off. My skin is incredibly soft and smooth after use and definitely looks so much better. Please give this a try, you will not be disappointed - it's LOVELY! Oh, I nearly forgot I really like the smell as well.

My skin is dry, and feels tight and prickly even when rinsed with water. I use this cleanser in the shower every morning, and my skin feels clean and hydrated. Perfect - and highly recommended.

I have tried this cleanser three times now. Each time it failed to go milky and water-soluble, but left behind a greasy film. I had to remove it with soap and water. I really don't know what I am doing wrong.

Meanwhile, I have reverted to my previous Lemon & Tea Tree Facial Wash.

Hi Laura,
Thanks for your review. Just wanted to mention that the ‘greasy film' left behind is likely the moisturising layer from the glycerine – STC is wonderful for removing make up and hydrates the skin at the same time. Strange that it doesn't go milky – I suspect that a little more water was needed! The hydration layer this cleanser leaves makes it super for mature and very dry skin, but less suited to combination and oily skin for which the Lemon & Tea Tree Facial Wash is definitely the cleanser to go for!

I have now been using this product and have come to love it. It took me a while to get used to this product but I am glad I stayed with it. It really is a lovely product

I have been using this for a while now, I am not a lover of this product. I do not like the feel of the product when first put on skin, and I found that it did not go milky with damp fingers/wash cloth. Having said this, this is my own personal opinion. I will try the milky cleanser next time.

Hi Julie,
Sorry to hear you weren't a fan of the product! In order to achieve full appreciation of the product, it is best to rinsed off with water (probably more than you would have on a damp finger) so that you achieve the milky formulation, which assists in hydrating the skin and leaving it clean and moisturised.
We'd love to hear how you get on if you decide to try it again, or have a go with the Creamy Coconut Cleanser!
