From Revamped to Revamped cottonseed

Several years ago Clarins updated its three foaming cleansers and its users in large part went berserk. The beloved cottonseed version for normal combination skin, which was actually unique, I thought, for its non foaming ingredients like cottonseed gypsophilia and alpha glucan oligosaccharide, alon...g with its scent, which changed from an original to a citrus based one, was mourned by users mainly it seemed for its cleansing base, which was common to other cosmetic lines. A shaving cream lather type, soap and water, clean rinsing, foam seemed to be what the public missed so much. The reboot which I think was genuinely great from a few years ago, changed both the cleansing base as well as the plant actives of the cottonseed cleanser and rather than a normal combination skin foam cleanser the previous iteration was truly for normal to dry skin. I think it suffered from being misunderstood. A small pea sized at most drop of that cleanser grew more abundant with foam the more water you added. Customers did not understand this, unfortunately. It was a lovely unique product that didn't warrant changing but here we are now with a hybrid version of these two cleansers. I received a 5ml sample which I have now used three times. A full tube should literally last you ages as like the previous 2 cleansers, this one is very very concentrated and grows and thickens with foam the more water you add. It is actually easy to overuse it and this could increase a feeling of tightness. A small dab is enough to thoroughly cleanse the face and neck. I'd categorize this cleanser more as an all skin types normal or normal to combination than normal to dry skin cleanser, though probably all but very dry skin types will get on well with it. I'm 50 with small pores and dry cheeks and I think it's fine though a toner afterwards and a moisturizer definitely enhances the feeling of my skin. This is a pleasant smelling effective cleanser which smells more like the velvet cleansing milk than the previous version and it will leave your skin soft and clean. I don't feel the update was necessary or even entirely desirable but this is still a very good product and it would seem that Clarins changed it this time in response to perceived customer demand.
