Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Melting Gel Cleanser for Normal/Dry Skin is a part of the new Boots No7 Beautiful Skin range launched for Fall 2012. The products in the Beautiful skin range are tailored to three skin types: Normal/Oily, (in green packaging) Normal/Dry, (in pink packaging) and Dry/Very Dry (in lavender packaging), and include cleansers and moisturizers (both day and night creams) for each skin type. The color coding makes it super convenient to find the products you need for your specific skin type on shelves.
Product Description
A refreshing gel that transforms into an oil as you massage into your skin, cleverly dissolving make up and impurities to help keep skin looking clear and healthy. It then transforms into a milk as you rinse clean leaving no residue just perfectly clean, supple skin. Sweet almond oil and glycerin are included in the formula to add moisture and ensure that the skin feels not only clean but incredibly soft. Hypo-allergenic. 5 fl. oz.
For Best Results : Gently massage the gel into your skin, avoiding the eye area, until it turns to oil. Adding warm water turns it into milk, which then means it’s ready to be washed away.

As the name indicates, this facial cleanser has a gel-like consistency that changes to a milky texture as you massage it onto your face. The formula doesn’t lather at all, which is frankly a bit disappointing because I do like at least a bit of foaming action. There is a light floral scent which is nice. It does rinse off easily leaving my skin clean and soft. However, when I tried this cleanser on the days I had a full face of makeup, it didn’t seem to get it all off in one go and I had to use it twice just to be sure.
Overall, I like that the formula is totally SLS free and is very gentle and non-drying on the skin, which is great for those with dry and sensitive skin, but I am still on the fence with this cleanser. The reason being that I prefer a face wash that does a more thorough job of cleansing while being gentle on my normal-dry skin.
