Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Hydrating Creme Cleanser isn't very thick at all unlike some other luxury cream cleansers I've tried. It's a creamy emulsion-like cleanser that doesn't feel overly greasy or heavy at all. The scent is also quite subtle compared to their original Re-Nutriv Creme although the cream cleanser still has a powdery floral scent to it. I personally find it soothing and it doesn't irritate my eye area, so it hasn't been a big issue for me at all.

Verdict
Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Hydrating Creme Cleanser is one of my go-to cleansers on my lazy nights when I just don't feel like splashing water to my face in the bathroom. It just takes off the long-lasting waterproof eye/lip/tinted suncare products very well, leaving skin clean and glowing.
I squeeze a generous amount out of the tube, and start quickly massaging thoroughly for about 1-2 minutes without pausing. I use a rolling motion with my finger tips, it's important to make little circles, covering your entire face and neck.
Then, I use a tissue to take it off, and follow with toner if I'm feeling lazy. If not, then I would just wipe it off using a warm baby wash cloth. There's some limit for taking off heavy glitter/shimmer products, but this would apply to most of the cleansers on the market. So if you use a lot of shimmer in your make-up routine, I suggest you to use eye and lip make-up remover for the area first before using the cream cleanser. I would say that Estée Lauder Re-Nutriv Hydrating Creme Cleanser is a great for those who are looking for something indulgent yet effective without needing to worry about drying out skin.
