One of the few products I’ve ever purchased that I felt actually helped my skin
One of the few products I’ve ever purchased that I felt actually helped my skin!!! I try to use organic or at least very clean products on my skin. And at least for me, I’m not comfortable crossing the line of injecting or cutting my skin for cosmetic purposes. However, I am totally willing to invest in topical skin care products to take care of my skin and, hopefully, age gracefully, and take care of the skin God gave me. I’ve bought everything from drugstore cosmetics to top of the line, very expensive cosmetic products from my dermatologist. I can honestly say, of everything I’ve tried, this is one of the few products that I actually could tell a difference.I’m 53 and have skin that in the past was never sensitive. But I’ve always had rosy skin on my cheeks and nose, which as I’m aging is becoming more sensitive. It can now become very splotchy and develops tiny pustules that can come and go on a dime. (I’ve wondered if it’s food related, since I have some food sensitivities, but haven’t been able to identify the cause.) My dermatologist diagnosed me with rosacea a few years ago, and I’ve tried to reduce the splotchy Ness and pustules, but I’ve never really found a product that seemed to affect it, other than possibly making it look worse or more irritated (which many sunscreens do.)In the past I always preferred cleansers that left my skin feeling very clean, and then I used moisturizer, if I felt my skin needed it. Although often it didn’t, because my skin tended to be oily. But the last few years as I’m aging, my skin is becoming more dry and sometimes flaky looking and irritated looking.So about a year ago I bought this cleanser on a whim, seeing it at Whole Foods on sale. When I first put it on, I thought I would never be able to use it, because it left a sort of waxy feeling on my skin, and not the clean that I was used to. But I made myself give it another couple tries, and I’ve grown to ABSOLUTELY LOVE this cleanser!! It has gone a very long way in calming down my rosacea, making it much less evident, or even not even noticeable at all! It seems like it’s providing something to my skin that it needed, and I am very grateful for that!I use it during the summer and winter and have bottles in by my sink and in my shower. I’ve even given it as gifts to people. Sometimes I’ll wash with her another cleanser just to get my skin really clean, and then I’ll use this as a moisturizing and protective layer. I also sometimes wash my hands or arms and elbows with it to to give them a little softness and protection.I couldn’t be more thankful for this product, and I see myself using it for years to come!!! Thank you, Andalou for making a product that actually is worth the money, and pretty inexpensive in my opinion!FYI, I rarely write reviews, and this is a very genuine review and not paid for in any way. I wish Amazon would ban paid and fake reviews, as it has almost ruined the site. But I would definitely recommend trying this product, especially if you have rosacea. It’s one of my favorites by far!!!

Gently cleans dry skin; feels like a velvet glove on the skin!
Andalou Naturals Probiotic Cleansing Milk, Apricot, 6 fl oz. This is a European-style cleansing milk. It is not an oil, nor does it turn watery. It feels like a thick lotion when applied and during use it thins a bit.LIKES:No added perfume or synthetic fragrance. No shea butter, no alcohol. Soft scent, velvet texture, gently cleans dry to very dry skin. Makes my skin feel “bouncy and plump”!I’ve tried many cleansers for “normal-to-dry” skin which ALL dried out my skin. This is the first cleansing milk I have purchased. I chose it over more expensive ones like Shiseido & Caudalie b/c these two contain either alcohol (drying!) or shea butter (clogs pores).I will continue to use this product for cleaning my skin. It’s especially good in the morning, and it removes normal sunscreens at the end of the day. If I use a long-wear foundation or waterproof mascara, I have to double-cleanse b/c this product does not take off long-wearing makeup. It Does take off normal mascara that is not waterproof (The type that comes off with “soap & water”.)DISLIKES: none! I infrequently wear long-wear makeup so the cleansing properties of this product are perfect for me. As stated earlier, I double-cleanse when wearing long-wearing makeup.THANK YOU THANK YOU Andalou Naturals for making a cleanser for those of us with Dry & Sensitive skin! Massage it in for about 1-2 minutes. It feels like a cushion of velvet on your skin! It does not feel oily at all!Ingredient list:Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice*, Purified Water (Aqua), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Vegetable Glycerin, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil, Glyceryl Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglycerides, Stearic Acid, Cetyl Alcohol, Sucrose Cocoate, Lecithin, Borago Officinalis (Borage) Seed Oil*, Bacillus Coagulans, Fruit Stem Cells (Malus Domestica, Solar Vitis) and BioActive Berry Complex*, Resveratrol, Ubiquinone (CoQ10), Panthenol, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil*, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Milk*†, Allantoin, Tocopherol, Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Extract*†, Phenethyl Alcohol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Apricot Isolates, Vanilla Isolate, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil*PS – I’ve also tried The Body Shop Aloe Vera Cream Cleanser (very oily texture), and Aveda Creamy Cleanser (dried out my skin instantly!),I’m sticking with ANDALOU AGE DEFYING APRICOT PROBIOTIC CLEANSING MILK!!!!Best product for my needs, best age-defying ingredients, and the BEST PRICE!

Great for just cleaning your face as well as removing makeup without drying or sensitising your skin (I h ave dry sensitive skin so this is something I always struggle with). Has a light apricot scent that’s not too overpowering and a very pleasant texture for massaging. I can remove it very easily with a cloth and warm water. I never use cream cleansers on my eyes so I cannot comment on how well it removed eye makeup.The pump is very convenient, but it has a flaw: when I had about 1/6 of the bottle left, the pump just stopped working. I have to unscrew the pump and fish the product out with some tool or my fingers which is a hassle. The product is worth using until the very last drop, but it’s annoying and makes you lose some time every day. Still, I probably will repurchase.

Love this cleanser! After trying several other brands and types from this brand, I’ve found one with not only the right consistency and lather, but one that improves my skin. Been using for several months now and very effective at removing makeup, dirt while still being gentle enough and doesnt dry my skin out.
