I started using Dr. Hauschka skin care for my ridiculously sensitive face almost 20 years ago. Before that I'd had continuous issues with adult acne, dryness and irritation caused by other product use. Now I have none of those problems. At first I used the daily cleanser which has some exfoiliant in it, the toner, and the cleansing milk for make-up removal. I found the daily cleanser was too harsh and the toner too drying but the cleansing milk has stuck. It's the only cleanser I use, ever, out of fear of bad reactions to preservatives, detergents or fragrances in other products and by bad reactions I mean itchiness, rash and lesions. Y'all, if you have any of those issues, read on, imma bout to lay some tips on ya... I use this in the morning and before bed every day and anytime I need to remove make-up. For make-up removal I first use a cotton ball dampened with hot water to get the lion-share of eye make-up off (I don't use waterproof mascara), wet face, rub the cleansing milk into face and eyelids then use a washcloth dampened with hot water to remove product. It really gets it all the make-up off this way. For wetting and rinsing my face I use straight-up cold water which won't strip the product completely off and really helps prevent my face from feeling tight and dry. I only moisturize after my morning wash to let my skin replenish it's natural oils overnight. If I feel the need to exfoliate I first apply this product to my face, shake a little plain white sugar onto my hand, gently rub it around the crusty patches then rinse. Baby smooth, no need for another harsh scrub or microbeads of plastic going down the drain. In the winter it's a perfect daily mask for my dry skin. I wet my face, apply cleansing milk, let it soak in for a couple minutes while I brush my teeth then rinse with cold water. I buy 3 bottles of this a year and altogether it's bargain compared to other high-end products. For occasional clarifying of pores I apply a mask using plain bentonite clay but I don't end up with tons if build-up usually. I might do this 3 or 4 times a year. Read more
This is one of the best cleansers I’ve ever used. It goes on very smoothly and the texture feels so soft on your skin. The only thing that bothers me is that I csnt can’t open the top by twisting it off, but I always go back to this cleanser. It cleans well and removes makeup easily without causing skin irritations.

As a gift, I immediately discovered that this was different from other face products I'd used most of my life. First, I like this cleaning milk very much; it does clean and leaves my face feeling deeply well treated most all day or night. Second, this product feels and smells awfully good, much better than most other such offerings. Finally, its many good qualities combine into a great shaving aid: this is the opposite of foamy and thick, and instead, your skin and the blade meet happily and speedily. I highly recommend this product as the basic or starting place for teen and adult guys. Read more
This is the best facial product I have ever tried. It makes my complexion look so nice. I have several of their products. My husband isnt one to comment about my skin care routine, but I had to laugh. The other day we were watching a movie and he looked over and said, “ what are you using on your face? You look like a princess. “ That was all the confirmation I needed that it must be working! Read more
I have been using this product off and on for many years. Probably 15 years. And every time I re-order it and use it again I forget how much I love it. Specifically for winter skin. It is so silky so calming so soothing, smells amazing. It is absolutely lovely. Worth every penny. And I’m an Aesthetician. :) Read more

I have been using this product for many many (over 20) years and nothing treats my skin better. I love how it cleans my face gently and still get's all my make up off even after washing my face. I like to use this as a final wash for my face because it is so moisturizing. Great for living in a dry climate. I have tried other products from Dr Hauschka products I have to say that they were not for me. But this product although pricey is really a great face wash for those with sensitive skin or just want a clean smooth was that will not leave your face dry. I also find that when I use this product I also use less moisturizer so win win. Read more
