In mirror of my own experience

I have received this cleanser in sachets but the good thing is that they have sent me 5 sachets of the products and I appreciate them for this because no one can get a sufficient result using only 2-3 times. I have used it about 12-15 times and got it as a impressive cleanser. I love their sachet too because they are so comfortable for opening and usage. The texture is neither thick nor runny. It came out very easily in my palm like a cream and I spread it all over my damp face, the smell of this cleanser is very pleasant & refreshing. I massaged gently after applying this cleanser & it didn't create any foam on application. and then removed my makeup with a wet cotton wool. It cleaned almost all the makeup except my arrogant mascara. But it’s so mild so one won't expect it to do so, but otherwise the rest of the makeup is completely removed. It also moisturizes & hydrates the skin very well...skipping a moisturizer will do!

Duchess Marden Foaming cleanser


What it claims
So many foaming cleansers act like an astringent, removing every bit of natural oil, and causing your skin to overproduce sebum, prompting a cycle of skin problems. Ours contains no Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, yet effectively cleanses while retaining skin’s moisture.
* Removes makeup and impurities gently, yet thoroughly with mild plant-derived surfactants
* Replenishes moisture to dry and damaged skin
* Stimulates collagen rebuilding to protect skin's elasticity
* Regenerates damaged tissue
* Deeply moisturizes, smoothing fine lines and wrinkles
* Rose oils impart calming and soothing properties
* Free of petrochemicals, parabens and chemical preservatives

Ingredients
babassuamidopropyl betaine, gluconolactone and sodium benzoate, rose oils (rosa damascena and rosa bourboniana), sclerotium gum powder, sodium cocoyl apple amino acids, xylitylglucoside anhydroxylitol xylitol



Price
$34

I never used any foaming cleanser before so I wanted to try it for removing my makeup because none of the cream cleansers are able to remove all the makeup especially the stubborn water proof mascara and eyeliner. But this was not the case with this foaming cleanser...it has a gel based-texture & it spread all over my face easily creating a good amount of lather which feels very mild, & gradually it removed all my makeup...even the waterproof ones! This was really amazing...something which I was in search of in every cleanser that I have used till date!

Eyeliner is something that I usually apply wherever I go & it's a good task removing it but finally i have something that does this job very easily.

The only thing is that it stung my eyes so I'll have to be very careful while using it. It does not moisturize the skin so one will have to apply a light moisturizer after this.

But overall it's a great product & I really recommend it to all my readers & I'm sure you'll love it too!

Thanks to Marla that she sent me 5 sachets of 5ml each of this Face Creme. Due to this I was able to use it for around 2 weeks.
Firstly I was welcomed by a lovely rosy smell which made me feel fresh. The consistency of this cream is a bit thick but as a I applied it on my face i felt that it got absorbed into my skin without leaving any greasy feeling behind.
It soothed my skin nicely & made it soft & supple. It even gave it a refreshed feeling & the lovely rosewater smell was so relaxing!
Although it did not leave any greasy feeling on my normal-dry skin but maybe oily skinned people may face a slight problem due to the thick consistency but apart from this I have no complains about this cream. In my opinion it is perfect Face cream at quite a reasonable price.

A Few words about Duchess Marden

Duchess Marden was inspired by a journey that I took to Southeast Asia with my husband. I was searching for something that would feed my spirit. Following a desert trek in India, I came upon pure rose water and discovered charm, ritual, scent and pleasure all at once. When I learned of the many benefits of the rose, I was smitten. Wishing to share this precious secret with everyone, I set out to incorporate the healing, hydrating benefits of rose, once coveted for only royalty, into a completely natural skincare line. The textures, scents, and sensations are delightful and you will be amazed with the visible results!
