Pai Skincare | MIDDLEMIST SEVEN Gentle Cream Cleanser with Camellia & Rose for Redness Prone and Sensitive Skin. Certified Organic, Vegan & Cruelty Free - 50ml

This is the best cleanser I’ve used by a mile. Better than Eve Lom, Liz Earle, Tata Harper etc. The main reason is the quality of the ingredients: everything is positively good for the skin and there’s no rubbish in there, including fragrance. That’s fantastic if you have sensitive skin but also if you use any actives in other brands’ skincare such as retinol, acids etc as this is safe to use with any other skincare. It’s a white non-runny cream which you massage into dry skin. You then dampen the muslin cloth provided and use that to remove it. It gets rid of everything, even mascara. It leaves my skin really soft and hydrated. Never oily and never dry and tight. It’s worth noting that Pai changed from the rough cloths a few years ago - they are now muslin on one side and a soft terry cotton on the other. I choose which side depending on whether I want to exfoliate or not. It’s such a great product that I’ve been using it for years now.

So light, luxurious and totally effective. Thrilled to find an organic product with a grown-up, high end feel and none of the usual smell of geraniol and citronella that natural brands usually have. As it is a cream it is not a ‘facewash’ - it does not foam and must be used on dry skin and then removed with a warm wet cloth. It leaves my skin, soft, smooth, clean and calm and I can’t wait to use it morning and evening. I just love it.

Have only used twice but it smells nice and isn't a thick cream so goes on nicely.

I used this cleanser for the first time as I read it was for sensitive skin and my skin is so sensitive. I liked that you smoothed the cleanser onto your skin and wiped it off with a cloth. Your skin felt lovely, smooth and clean afterwards and even better, no bad skin reactions :)

I am greatly pleased by this cleanser. I have super sensitive skin, and this has calmed my skin given me smother texture aswell. And hey the wash cloth is subep and very helpful in keeping my face clean and not striping all my face out. This is my second bottle, and I will continue using it.

The design of the dispenser has changed for the worse. There's still plenty of cream in it but now it won't dispense it. ....

This is more than I would usually pay for a cleanser but having received an Amazon gift card I decided to treat myself. So glad I took a chance. My skin feels great and I don't get the dryness I do with other cleansers. The scent is subtle and not overpowering. I now have this on my subscribe and save as it's worth the price paid.

I took the plunge and purchased this to replace my A'kin creamy cleanser that is very sadly no longer available in the UK or maybe the planet! I'm enjoying using the Pai cleanser and it leaves my skin refreshed and not tight. Love the very gentle scent of the natural ingredients (I don't like fragranced products), full of goodness and no nasty ingredients. I started using the cloth supplied but I'm usually in a rush in the morning and the cloth routine takes longer, so I just wash off the cleanser now and pat dry. The cloth is nice but I somehow feel this is something one should buy separately if wanted and not required to purchase with the cleanser. It's wasteful if I don't use the cloth and the cloth is going to last a lot longer than the 50ml of cleanser. I think this is a mistake by the manufacturer, but probably just a money making tool for them. I removed one star because of the cloth. Comes in a nice cardboard box. Probably a bit pricey at £20 for 50ml but if it works for my face I will bite the bullet. UPDATE I had to stop using this cleanser as it totally dries out my skin. First it was a tight feeling after use, then some visible flakey skin. I ended up with red blotches and then rather stingy skin. It does not meet up to the marketing saying it's non-drying and for sensitive skin because it's not!

Overall this is an effective cleanser, but I did have a couple of issues with it. Here are my pros and cons. ***I have extremely dry, acne-prone skin. I am practically married to moisturizers at this point*** Pros: 1. This cleanser did a good job removing makeup. It did not take much effort to remove it all. 2. The formula is soft and definitely does not agitate my face. 3. My face did stay moisturized after cleansing. This formula does contain glycerin which is a common type of moisturizer for the skin. Glycerin is also non-comedogenic (does not clog the pores and cause acne). This formula would be great for those with dry skin! Cons: 1. ***CAUTION*** This does contain sweet almond oil. I do not have much understanding of almond allergies, but this may not be safe for those that do have it!!! 2. I would not recommend for those that do not enjoy strong scented products. 3. This cleanser is heavy. It almost feels like you are spreading lotion on your face, so it may not feel pleasant for some. It does not foam or bubble at all. 4. The bottle is small. This kit would be a great gift, but please don't buy as your daily cleanser thinking it will last a long time. Especially those that double cleanse after wearing makeup. Lastly, I did like the cloth that came with the kit, but one side did agitate my face. If you have very sensitive skin, it may do the same. Overall, I really like this cleanser! It definitely did it's job and kept my face feeling soft and moisturized. I was put off a little by the scent and the almond oil was the only concerning ingredient to me. If I could rate on a 1-10 scale, I would give it a solid 8. I recommend. :)

This facial wash is superb. It does have a good amount of oil ingredients so unfortunately it is not compatible with my foreo Luna 3 device. (Or any other silicone facial brush) This facial wash is phenomenal at cleansing my skin. This cleanser feels like a gentle foaming cleanser. It has a really nice lather to it. I also really like the soft wash cloth that comes with this travel size cleanser as well. I used to love oil cleansers before I upgraded my foreo device into my routine. I find this cleanser to be deeply cleansing. It cleanses my face impressively well. What I love about this cleanser is that it offers a deep cleanse with out striping away the natural moisture from my skin. It leaves my skin feeling baby soft. This is a wonderful effective cleanser that I am very happy with. I would whole heartedly highly recommend this facial wash.

CREAM TOO THICK AND HARD TO SPREAD

Review for: PAI SKINCARE - Middlemist Seven Organic Camellia + Rose Gentle Cream Cleanser | Natural, Vegan, Sensitive Skincare (1.7 fl oz | 50 mL) It doesn’t take many uses to realize this is a really good cleanser. With or without the facial cloth, the product does a gentle but thorough cleanse. Because it does have some oil in it, it does not dry the skin out. The cloth has two sides, one for a gentle exfoliate and the other to wipe the product off. There is a light scent with the cleanser but I can’t identify it. The scent is not unpleasant. With the flip top, opening and closing even while in the shower is very simple.

This PAI organic cream cleanser is very creamy and emollient but it washed away well. After cleansing, my skin felt really soft and since this is winter, I also did not have a dry-skin feeling at all. This does not suds up, so if you like a sudsing cleanser, you may not like this, but I am used to non-sudsing cleansers. This is a creamy cleanser that is gentle to the skin. I could barely detect a scent, which is fine with me, but I wouldn't have minded a little more scent. The cloth is a nice touch, though I have not used it as I tend not to use washcloths on my face, but once I launder it I may give it a try. I like that on their page (if you click on the PAI link at the top of the page) there was information on the product that included a video on the founder and why she began manufacturing PAI (her own sensitive skin issues). This is a small tube for $29, so consider the price when most of the product is just washing down the drain. I'd try more products from PAI.
