CHANEL just launched a new line of cleansers under the Sublimage range, their most premium (anti-aging) line especially formulated for mature/dry skin with key ingredient Vanilla Planifolia.
Sublimage has been missing a ‘Cleansing Ritual’ & since the Hydra Beauty line already has one, i’m excited to see these new additions!
Chanel describes this line more than just a cleansing ritual; more of an opportunity to enjoy a peaceful moment in the morning and evening to calm the mind and relax. It’s an ultra sensorial cleansing line enriched with natural-origin Vanilla Planifolia Water and Harungana extract for their antioxident and detoxifying properties.
The collection consists of,
Sublimage Vanilla Grain Scrub (50g)
Sublimage Gel-to-Oil Cleanser (150ml)
Sublimage Cleansing Water (125ml)
Sublimage Soap (115g)
Among these new additions the Vanilla Grain Scrub is one of my favourites! It’s made up of vanilla pod seeds that gently exfoliate and tiny jojoba microbeads that lift away any residual impurities.
The grains are suspended in a very thin gel and feel ultra fine, I use two scoops with the spatula that’s provided.
The round beads ensure skin isn’t damaged and exfoliated gentlest as possible without dragging or scratching. Once rinsed off, the skin feels silky without any tightness or dryness.
Recommended use is three times a week.
The Sublimage Gel-to-Oil Cleanser is a clear thick gel that is applied directly to the skin, and massaged to transform into an oil.
On application you indulge in the aroma of it’s key ingredient, vanilla. I like that the scent is not overpowering, a gentle one that even the most sensitive wouldn’t find offensive unless you dislike vanilla itself.
Once rinsed, it leaves the skin ultra soothed and comfortable to the touch. Skin feels soft without any tightness. It doesn’t leave any residue on the skin and rinses off completely taking with it all impurities and makeup.
Usually a single step cleanse isn’t enough when I wear makeup, however with this I feel it does an exceptionally good job and don’t feel the need to double cleanse. It’s hands down the best luxury cleanser i’ve tried.
Luckily the tube contains quite a generous 150ml, which makes parting with $100+ for a cleanser a little easier. A really good buy nonetheless and one of my favourites from this collection.
Sublimage Cleansing Water.
A luxurious (oil-free) water cleanser that’s perfect for your morning skincare routine. Ideal for sweeping off impurities and residue skincare from the night before. The thicker lotion reminds me of an essence. Leaving the skin deeply hydrated and prepped for your next step.
Especially with the premium ingredients (Vanilla Planifolia), the Cleansing Water would be a great start to a morning routine delivering a healthy dose of antioxidents to keep the skin protected through the day.
The fourth and final installment to the Cleansing Ritual is the Sublimage Soap.
A generous bar that lathers into thick lush foam with it’s natural-origin emulsifier and combination of shea butter and humectants. It allows for a very gentle cleanse without stripping the skin of it’s natural oils.
In my opinion this would make an incredibly luxurious Christmas gift for any skincare lover, since the season is just around the corner! Maybe a combo of the luxurious Vanilla Scrub to make an even more precious!
Bottom line
I loved EVERYTHING!
If you are looking to pick up just one thing from the collection, i’d urge you to try the Gel-to-Oil Cleanser or the Cleansing Water. Both exceeded expectations in terms of sensorial experience and overall effectiveness. I love that these leaves the skin so soft & soothed. If you have dry skin, this line is a must-try if your budget allows.
