Customer photo review of Aurora Cleanser

This cleanser is the one I come back to again and again! The smell is a blissful vanilla that is never artificial or cloying—just natural and soothing, especially right before bedtime. In fact, this smell is so pleasing, even universally it seems, that my 18 year old nephew, upon trying it out, requested his mother to please buy it for him! I also love how nourishing and hydrating it is—and that it's non irritating to my sensitive skin.

Store owner replied: Thanks Melvin, glad you are enjoying the gentle cleanse and fresh feeling from the Aurora cleanser.

This is the only face cleanser I use. I like that it rinses off with water and doesn’t leave my skin feeling dry.

Aurora Cleanser

The best creamiest cleanser I’ve ever used. I love it.

Aurora Cleanser

This face wash is hands down the absolute BEST face wash I’ve ever used!!! I used to need to use a balm cleanser as my first step and then follow with a second cleanser in my double cleanse BUT this? This is now all I use!!! It’s that darn good! Removes make up, removes dirt, removes pollution, but doesn’t strip and leaves my skin clean and hydrated!!! Bought one for all my family and friends to try. Everyone loves it.

A nice creamy cleanser. Leaves skin feeling clean and moisturized. I always prefer cream cleansers to foaming ones

Aurora Cleanser™

I am super-excited about using EMK Aurora Cleanser: The Biopeptide El, Instaglow... ingredients are enabling my facial skin and my hands to stay healthy, firm and taut even as I cleanse it, that is pure joy. I am super-sensitive, so my skin reacts very quickly to incoming energy. And from what I can see on my face it is being "ENERGIZED" in the best possible way using EMK's skin system.

I had an EMK facial at Lancer Dermatology in Beverly Hills with the EMK line. I've since used all of their product. The Aurora Cleanser is the base as it really preps the skin for a perfect at home anti-aging treatment. My own routine is cleanser + toner + serum + face cream. what a great line of product.

I love the feel of this cleanser on my skin. The smell is so nice to o. it's like putting vanilla ice-cream on your face!

Aurora Cleanser™

Hi EMK, your cleanser is very gentle. Most cleansers always makes my skin irritated. This one is different.

Aurora Cleanser™

I am an esthetician and I believe in cleansers that don't strip off our natural skin sebum. The Aurora Cleanser is very gentle, it cleanses, nourrishes, and prep the skin without removing the stratum corneum skin sebum. I have yet to find a better cleanser

Aurora Cleanser™

This Alpha Mask is the best there is! The results are totally amazing!

Aurora Cleanser™

My skin has a bit of redness to it. When I've used EMK products combined, as recommended on the website, it makes such a difference in the texture and tone (color). I'm a real believer in EMK products! It's hard to tell someone how great it is because you have to try it to see the difference. I don't spend a fortune on frivolous things but to me, EMK skin care is an investment for the future. Well worth every cent. When I tell people I have a daughter in her third year of college they are always shocked.

Aurora Cleanser™

I have very sensitive skin and this is the only cleanser that works for me. Thank you EMK!

Aurora Cleanser™
