Sometime back I spotted the Institut Esthederm range of skincare
products in my local Dischem and whilst I haven't
previously used any of their products this brand is quite prevalent
in French pharmacies and that's where I've seen it before.
As always when I review a product from a brand for the first time
I like to give you some of their backstory and this one is slightly
different, as Institut Esthederm is a NAOS brand.
What is a NAOS brand you may well ask, well simply put
NAOS is a purpose-driven company with a mission.
NAOS sees the skin as a living ecosystem that constantly interacts with
its environment and that changes over time.
Ecobiology was born from this dynamic vision: radically different to
traditional cosmetics, this scientific approach is based on respect for the
skin and knowledge of its biology.
Rather than over-treating the skin, you have to teach it to live...
The brands Bioderma, Esthederm and Etat Pur
were all born from this idea.
Bringing together health, beauty and well-being,
Institut Esthederm Paris
presents a range of luxurious skincare products with research
and innovation at its core.
In treating skin as a unique eco-system, Institute Esthederm respects
and re-educates your skin, with products and treatments that protect
it from the environment while maintaining the skin’s optimal state
as it evolves.
I recently purchased the
Institut Esthederm Osmoclean
Hydra Cleansing Milk,
which is a soft, moisturising cleansing milk that comforts the skin
as it cleanses.
A cleansing milk has always been my first choice in cleansers
and this particular cleanser is my type of product.
This high-tolerance cleansing base cleanses thoroughly
while protecting the hydrolipid surface film and you can feel that
immediately, as it provides both immediate and lasting comfort.
Enriched with Coconut, Palm and Almond Plant oils work to
moisturise and soften the skin.
Suitable for all skin types, especially dry, mature skin and fragile skins
that suffer from discomfort associated with cleansing.
You can apply either with a cotton wool pad or with your fingers and if
you like to remove with water, its water soluble, but my preference
is to apply with a cotton wool and remove with a toner.
Esthederm is dye, fragrance and paraben-free.
In a blindfold test I would have picked out this cleanser as being one
from a French brand.
This product is exactly what you'd expect from a traditional French
type of cleansing milk, as this gentle creamy milk worked its magic in
one swift move whether it be on bare skin or on a full face of make-up.
It respected my skins barrier and left it feeling comforted and soft
and all in an easy "fuss free" manner leaving your skin fully prepared to
absorb the benefits of your remaining skincare
and I thoroughly loved it...
