Hey everyone!
Before we start, I don't have pics of these products. I only had a little sample of the Lait and I returned the Mousse. Keep reading to find out why :)
A couple of months ago, when I decided that I was overly
satisfied with my Clinique cleansing range, I decided to search around through
the higher end skincare ranges to see if anything took my fancy. I went to the
Chanel store in one of the shopping centres near my house, and tried out the
Confort cleansing products. They have two cleanser in the Confort range, which
is designed for sensitive skin. The have a Mousse and Lait (milk) cleanser. I
had pretty much the same opinion on both of these product, hence them being in
the same review.
Okay, so let’s get into it…
THE POSITIVES:
The smell of these products is amazing. I mean, I wouldn’t
expect anything less from Chanel. Also, the texture of both is beautiful. They
are both so smooth and creamy. Again, I wouldn’t expect anything less.
And… honestly that’s it. I can’t think of any more
positives.
THE NEGATIVES:
As you have probably already guessed from the fact that I
could only think of two positives, I don’t like these two products. The first
negative relates back to the first positive. The scent. Although it’s a
beautiful, luxurious scent, I don’t know how Chanel can say that these
cleansers are designed for sensitive skin when they are so heavily fragranced.
Also, the smell is beautiful, but it lingers, and starts to become offensive. I
could still smell it after moisturising applying makeup. I used the Mousse
first, and thought that the reaction I was having was because it was a very
foamy formula. I was going all red and splotchy (not itchy though, thank God)
every time I used it. I used the Mousse for about four days before switching to
the Lait, which is a milky formula. I thought that because it was a milk it
wasn’t going to react like the Mousse did. WRONG! It was just as bad as the
Mousse. I was so red that I actually had to opt for a heavy covering of my Pro
Longwear foundation to cover it. Usually I can cover my redness with a bit of
concealer and a light coverage foundation. Also, when I do use something that
activates my redness, it will go down in an hour or so, but this lasted all
day.
Another thing I didn’t like was the fact that they gave my
skin that squeaky clean feeling without the clean part. I just felt tight
skinned. Plus I didn’t feel moisturised either.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
I really didn’t like these cleansers. The reaction of it
irritating my redness was so bad, and it was all I could think about while I
was using it. Self-conscious is really not how you wanna feel about yourself
when using a new skincare or makeup product. There’s really not a lot else to
say about these cleansers. I’m disappointed in the fact that they are for
sensitive skin, but are so heavily fragranced. I know I said they smelled nice,
but I’d rather no scent and it not reacting badly with my skin. On the up side,
I finally did find a range that I really love and is a fraction of the price of
the Chanel ones. Stay tuned for my review on the Sukin range! J
