We get so fixated on serums and moisturisers that we sometimes forget that cleansing and toning are equally important for healthy skin. The first steps (and building blocks) of your regime, cleansing and toning twice daily ensures that your skin is free from dirt, impurities and oil, and prepped for receiving the active ingredients and hydration in your serums and moisturisers.
Gatineau Gentle Silk Cleanser and Gentle Silk Toner are filled with nourishing ingredients to help you reap additional skincare benefits, plus, they’re suitable for all skin types – including sensitive skin. What can you expect from this luxurious duo?
A cleanser should work hard to remove excess oil, makeup, dirt and bacteria from the skin, but it should be gentle enough not to sting or strip the skin of its natural moisture. Gatineau’s Gentle Silk Cleanser has a deeply replenishing milky formula designed to dissolve every last trace of residual makeup and dirt while helping to swiftly replenish cells’ reservoirs. Balancing and stress-relieving, this softening cleansing milk is perfect for those with dry, thirsty, or sensitive complexions.
Its gentle formula contains three stand-out ingredients:
Hydrolysed silk
Abundant in two important proteins: fibroin and sericin with deeply hydrating and radiance-enhancing effects.
Cotton seed oil
This highly effective skin conditioning extract leaves the skin feeling rebalanced and soft.
Sweet almond oil
With natural lipids that contain essential fatty acids to leave the skin hydrated, nourished and conditioned.
How to use
Pump a generous amount of this luxurious balm onto hands and apply to the face in circular motions. Massage into the skin to melt away impurities and makeup. Remove with warm cloth.
Using a toner directly after cleansing helps to soften, refine and refresh skin, leaving it ready to receive all the nourishment your serum and moisturiser has to offer. Gatineau Gentle Silk Toner offers skin an additional boost of radiance while softening and refining skin texture. An old favourite, it’s back with a new-and-improved formula and bigger size (so you don’t have to replace it so quickly!).

Use morning and evening, after cleansing. Place a cotton pad over the top of the pump and press down to soak, then lightly sweep over your face and neck. Avoid direct contact with eyes. If contact with eyes occurs, rinse thoroughly.
Both products are available in a handy 500ml bottle, designed to last for longer.
