Double cleansing is something I do every single evening without fail, even if I have spent many hours just tapping away at my keyboard not seeing the outside world. Erborian to this day, still does one of my favourite products - the PP creme and whilst as a brand it has gone from strength to strength, I’ve been trying two of their newer products as part of my evening routine.
The Centella Cleansing Oil and the Centella Cleansing Gel come together to form the Erborian Skincare Therapy Double Cleansing Duo and I’ve very much enjoyed using them.
The Centella Cleansing Oil is described as being an ultra-fine cleansing oil which not only removes makeup including that waterproof mascara, it also works to remove excess sebum and other impurities, while at the same time maintaining the skin's natural hydration.
Formulated with Centella Asiatica which is described as being Erborians super-ingredient, it is also rich in nourishing botanical oils which includes
- Centella Asiatica Oil Extract - for its soothing properties.
- Sweet Almond Oil - used for its nourishing properties.
- Sunflower Oil - use for its moisturising properties.
- Bisabolife - which helps to reduce inflammation and redness after irritation. It is also known to limit bacteria proliferation on skin.
When this Cleansing Oil comes into contact with water, its light texture transforms into a milky lotion and it is here that it works to remove makeup quickly, without leaving a greasy residue. On the skin, it is hydrating and soothing and does such a good job at removing everything in its path and should be used as that first cleanse.
When it comes to the second cleanser we have Centella Cleansing Gel which works to cleanse and help purify the skin to leave it feeling perfectly clean and soothed.
As with the Cleansing Oil, this gel is also enriched in Centella Asiatica which is known for soothing properties. Alongside the ace tells Asiatica, we also have:
- Squalane: Helps to moisturize and to protect the skin against dehydration.
- 7 Herbs Complex: a combination of Soothing properties, which Erborian are known for and this includes the likes of Tiger-grass, Liquorice and Japanese knotweed to improve natural skin detoxification.
This Gel is gentle on the skin and as with the oil, is perfect for use every single day and together they are quite the duo for completing the double cleansing routine. They both work to remove everything from makeup and Sun cream to dirt, grime and pollution and they do so without stripping the skin to leave it feeling dry and taut.
I have the 180ml bottles of which both come with a pump action dispenser. One pump from the dispenser is more than enough for each part of the cleanse.
If you are yet to join the world of double cleansing or are confused as to where to start, Erborian makes the job absolutely simple and straightforward to complete with these two products and they can be found on the Er Priam website in smaller sizes for just £8 and £9 for 30ml sizes rising upward to £22 and £25 for 180 pump action bottle options.
