The Parisian milky lotion that cleans and removes make-up in one swipe
Collosol Eau de Lait is a milky cleansing and make-up removing lotion for all skin types, created in Paris in the 1950s. It sits halfway between a micellar water and a cleansing milk: a light, fluid lotion that lifts make-up and impurities from the face and leaves the skin soft and comfortable without rinsing. Its pH is adapted to the skin, and a touch of vegetable oil and glycerin keeps the skin supple after cleansing, so the complexion looks fresh and even.
The texture
A fluid, milky-white lotion, lighter than a classic cleansing milk. It spreads easily on a cotton pad, removes make-up in a few passes and leaves a soft, non-greasy feel with a light, clean scent.
Who it suits
- All skin types, including normal to dry skin
- Anyone who dislikes the tight feel of foaming cleansers
- Quick morning or evening make-up removal without rinsing
- Fans of French pharmacy classics
Worth knowing before you buy: The formula contains fragrance and colophonium (rosin), a known allergen for a small number of people. Very reactive skin may prefer a fragrance-free option. For waterproof eye make-up, the Collosol two-phase remover works faster.
How long one bottle lasts
Used morning and evening with two cotton pads each time, the 400ml bottle lasts around three to four months.
