I’m finding my visits to the store Primark becoming more and more frequent as the months go on. Two areas (if I’m not shopping for items for my kids) I always head for is the home fragrance section and beauty. It took me a bit of time to realise they had their own bath, body and skincare products. But once I found them I can’t help myself but make a sneaky purchase or three! One of my most recent purchases from their skincare range is the P.S Creamy Cleanser with Vitamin E & Organic Rose. Cost? £2.00 for 150ml!
Why did I buy this?
Cleansing products is something I’ve been running low on. It’s the first stage of skincare and I refuse to get caught short because it’s an important stage. This one I picked up out of curiosity. I’ve only tried one other skincare product from Primark before which was ok so I thought let’s try more!
What is this supposed to do?
Suitable for all skin types including sensitive. This creamy cleanser is designed to remove general dirt and make up effectively and gently, while leaving the skin clean and smoother.
Packaging.
150ml of cleanser is housed in a pale pink coloured tube with a flip top lid. Very basic, simple but easy on the eye.
Texture.
I’m not too sure if I’ve ever used a cleansing lotion before, but I imagine it has a similar if not identical texture to this. It’s lotion like in consistency, quite fluid but not too runny. White in colour. No major slip and slide to the product, so not greasy or oily.
Fragrance.
Rose. Floral, flowery, feminine, rose! Did I mention I’m not a fan of the fragrance of rose? Well, not on it’s own I’m not. And this is rose. Thankfully it doesn’t come across as an old fashioned, strong version. But there’s no mistaking this to be rose!
How to use.
Wet hands, and apply to face. Rinse with water.
In use.
Yet again my inability to read astounds me! I’m terrible at reading instructions on how to use skincare products and make it up as I go along. I thought it read wet face so I did! I wet my face and then rubbed in a good blob of this into my skin. What I liked about this is the fact it didn’t sink into the skin, so I could massage this in for a good minute or 2. The product easily moved around the skin. It didn’t feel heavy or greasy. I then wet my hands (finally!) and continued to rub the cleanser into my skin, which created a light and small amount of foam. To remove I rinsed off and no residue was left.
The fragrance was obvious while using this cleanser. Since I’m not a fan of rose, I did wonder if this would be overpowering or put me off using this and on both counts I can say it’s a no. The fragrance was there but not strong or heady so I didn’t actually mind it. And it didn’t dampen my cleansing routine or put me off in anyway.
I’m not a make up wearer, just an addict of the good old eye brow pencil. So how good this is at taking make up off I have no idea. But focusing a few second into rubbing the cleanser in my eyebrows removed all traces easily and quickly.
Skin afterwards.
Once I rinsed this off I used a face cloth, slightly damp and warm, and patted it onto my skin. My skin looked clean and quite fresh. This was the case just after use and also the morning after the night before. My skin didn’t feel dry or tight, but that typical just washed feel and I need to pop some moisture onto my skin was what I did experience. Looking at my skin I noticed a small dry patch on my nose, which isn’t something I get normally. But I’ve ben using this for over a week now and this doesn’t seem to happen anymore.
Recommended?
I have to say my first thoughts of this cleanser after using this for a good week now, is it’s not bad at all! Price wise of course it’s great, packaging is practical and non-offensive. And the actual cleanser does what it’s suppose to do. I actually enjoy using this which I didn’t think I would. I liked the texture, I liked how it slightly foamed up and I can see this working as part of a double cleanse routine if someone was that why inclined. The fact this is rose scented and I haven’t moaned about it is a miracle, which is a testament to this product indeed.
So would I buy this cleanser for myself again? I wouldn’t rule against it! Although not as comforting to my skin as itmay need I still think it did well. I definitely wouldn’t discount it for future purchase and use. But recommend to others? I would! I think this would be good to use especially during warmer months and if you like cleansing lotion textures anyway. If you have no massive issues with your skin and looking for a budget cleanser to keep your face going this would be fine. This screams a product geared towards the younger market. Teens to mid 20’s I think would like using this, and also appreciate the price tag!
£2.00 for 150ml cleanser won’t break the bank. So why not head to the skincare section of Primark to see if this could be a good buy for you!
