Packaging A’kin Rose & Geranium Pure Creamy Cleanser & Toner in one with shea Butter & Vitamin B5 comes in a cream coloured tube with mauve writing and a gold coloured symbol stating “pure active botanics” and that it is paraben and sulfate free.
Application The rich, texture of A’kin Rose & Geranium Cleanser & Toner definitely lives up to the title. Just a pea sized amount is all that is required of this cream as it covers well and, whilst massaging it in, you are immediately relaxed by the aroma of the Rose and Geranium – a favourite fragrance combination of mine. Either tissuing off or rinsing with water, the skin is left feeling soft, smooth, moisturised and pampered. There is no tautness of the skin, often felt with other toners.
Ingredients Despite the long list of ingredients, on reading them through you realize that there are no parabens or sulfates, which is the first thing I look out for when choosing a product - if they are present, then no matter how wonderful the product sounds, it goes straight back on the shelf. There are also the Latin names in brackets which gives the appearance of more ingredients. Once opened this product will last 12 months but using it daily a 30ml tube will be used long before then.
Results A’kin Rose & Geranium Cleanser & Toner left my skin feeling so wonderfully fresh and enriched, I could easily forget to moisturise. This is the best cleanser and toner in one that I’ve used – yes I’d use it again.
Pros: Rich creamy texture.
Does not leave skin feeling taut.
The rose and geranium fragrance begins the relaxation process after a long or busy day.
Suitable for normal, dry and sensitive skin.
Cons:A 30ml tube doesn’t last very long when used daily.
The symbol stating that it is paraben and sulfate free is not easy to read due to the size of the text and contrast of the colours.
