Review: Estee Lauder Verite LightLotion Cleanser

Recently I went into a random cosmetics store to buy some eye cream. I hadn't been all too happy with the eye creams I had been using recently (except the La Mer one, but La Mer is not sold where I live so I have to get it abroad or online and I needed a new cream urgently, so La Mer was out of the question) so I decided to ask a saleslady for advice. 15 minutes later... I ended up going home with 3 Estee Lauder products, a brand I was not previously familiar with and one of the products this (very nice) saleslady convinced me that I "had to try" was the Estee Lauder Verite LightLotion Cleanser.

I needed a new cleanser anyway so I gave it a go, and I liked the packaging a lot. Nice, clean, luxurious, not too similar to anything else on the market: all good!

Sadly, however, that is where the good stuff ended. You need to put a lot of this cream on in order for it to do anything and my skin does not feel clean even after I do so. Maybe it is, but it feels... dirty and like it did not do anything at all. So I always ended up using another cleanser right after.

I will go as far as saying that this may be one of the worst cleansers I've come across so far, which is pretty surprising as the other 2 Estee Lauder products I got were quite good.

(and yes, I have considered the fact that something may be wrong with the bottle I got but I guess the only way to test that would be to get another bottle and compare the two? And I really don't feel like purchasing this again so I will just assume they are all like this...)
