African Botanics Fleur de Rose Cream Cleanser

African Botanics launched a new product called Fleur de Rose Cream Cleanser. It is what you would guess from the name-a cream cleanser. African Botanics is one of my all time favorite brands. The eco luxe green beauty brand never disappoints. Details per African Botanics:

Fleur de Rose Cream Cleanser is an ultra-gentle and reparative cleanser that sinks into the skin to dissolve all traces of urban pollutants, impurities, make-up and sunscreen without disrupting the skins pH balance.

Supercharged with antioxidant-rich botanical oils and moisture binding African Aloe Ferox, this unique creamy formula strengthens the skin’s protective barrier while calming, renewing and soothing.

Salicylic and Lactic Acid help decongest and gently exfoliate to reveal radiant skin. Infused with Rosa Centifolia known to calm the epidermis and combat redness. Leaves skin fresh, soft and purified while enhancing elasticity.

Key Active Benefits:

  • Contains Dragon's Blood resin extract, which helps protect skin cells, reduce redness and swelling.
  • A unique complex of Allantoin, Arnica, Calendula, Marula, Niacinamide, Squalane and African Bush Plants provide antimicrobial, astringent, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Directions AM/PM Apply to dry or wet skin with light upward and outward circular movements for 1-2 minutes. Remove with a warm, damp face cloth or rinse well with warm water. Repeat if needed. Follow with an essence and appropriate oil / serums or cream.

Designed for all skin types including dry, mature, dehydrated, sensitive and compromised barriers.

This is a luxurious hydrating cream cleanser. It's perfect as a morning or second cleanse. It hydrates while it cleans and never leaves my skin dry, tight or stripped. It's got a thick creamy texture and a pale pink hue. Dragon's Blood is purifying and anti-inflammatory. It's not a common ingredient and I like seeing it in more products. This cleanser has salicylic & lactic acids plus willow bark for some natural exfoliation. This cleanser has super antioxidant green rooibos tea extract, multi-tasking powerhouse niacinamide, multiple hydrators like oils, mango seed butter, aloe ferox and glycerin, plus soothing/anti-inflammatory allantoin, calendula and arnica.

This has a medium rose scent, it's not minimal but it's not strong. It's also a natural rose scent with no synthetics. So it's fine for me. I have a hard time with synthetic rose scents. In short I love the combo of anti-inflammatory, soothing and hydrating ingredients. It has what you want from a soothing hydrating cream cleanser. With the bonus of Dragon's Blood and salicylic & lactic acids. The texture is spot on and I really love it. I put this in my top three favorite cream cleansers. It has a super luxurious texture and the ingredients list is phenomenal. It's not cheap but I tend to have a taste for the luxury items.
