The Parisian milky water that removes makeup without a rinse
Collosol Eau de Lait is a no-rinse cleansing and makeup-removing lotion for all skin types. Created in Paris in the 1950s, this milky water lifts makeup, sunscreen and the day's grime with a mild cleansing base and a touch of vegetable oil and glycerin. Its formula respects the skin's natural pH, so the face is left clean, soft and comfortable, with no tight feeling. It is a French pharmacy classic for quick morning and evening cleansing.
The texture
A fluid, milky-white water, lighter than a cleansing milk and softer than a micellar water. It glides on with a cotton pad, leaves no oily film and needs no rinsing. It has a light, fresh scent.
Who it suits
- Anyone who wants a quick cleanse without water
- Normal, dry and combination skin
- Removing light makeup and sunscreen at night
- Freshening the skin in the morning
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains fragrance and colophonium (rosin), a known allergen for some people. If your skin reacts easily to scented products, patch test first or choose a fragrance-free micellar water. For heavy or waterproof eye makeup, a two-phase remover works faster.
Which size to choose
The 100ml bottle is handy for travel and the gym bag. The 250ml suits daily use for about two months, and the 400ml is the best value for the bathroom shelf.
