Gentle Milky Cleanser That Mostly Delivers on Hydration
I picked up the Thayers Milky Hydrating Face Cleanser with Snow Mushroom while it was on sale because I was looking for a non-drying face wash.
Overall, I do like it. The texture is gentle and milky—it doesn’t foam up, feels non-irritating on my skin, and rinses off easily. I also paired it with the moisturizer from the same line (though I skipped the toner since I already use one my skin prefers).
It does a good job cleansing without stripping my skin too harshly, which I appreciate since I tend to lean dry. That said, I do notice a slight dryness after washing and drying my face, which surprised me a bit given the “hydrating” claim.
One other small downside is that the packaging was a bit difficult to open.
Still, overall it’s a gentle, easy-to-use cleanser that feels calming on the skin and doesn’t cause irritation.
