A shower cream-gel is a body cleanser with a creamy texture that lathers without stripping the skin. This category features Silk Touch Shower Cream, made with panthenol, rice milk and aloe vera to cleanse gently and suit sensitive skin.
How a cream-gel differs from a regular shower gel
A classic shower gel is usually clear, foams generously and washes away a good share of the skin's protective lipids along with the dirt. That can leave skin feeling tight, especially in winter or on dry skin. A cream-gel pairs gel-style cleansing with creamy softness: the lather is calmer and skin feels more comfortable after rinsing. If you notice dryness after showering, this is the format to try.
What we know about Silk Touch
- Creamy-gel texture with a pearly sheen that lathers easily.
- pH 5.5-6.0, close to the skin's natural pH.
- According to the maker, it contains panthenol, rice milk and aloe vera.
- Cleanses gently, relieves the tight feeling and leaves skin soft.
- Comes in a pump bottle and is designed for regular use.
How to use it
- Apply a small amount to wet skin or a washcloth.
- Massage lightly and work up a lather.
- Rinse with warm water: very hot water dries out skin even with a mild cleanser.
- After the shower, follow with a moisturizer such as the Silk Skin lamellar body milk.
Who it suits and who it does not
Silk Touch is made for everyday cleansing and is positioned for sensitive skin. It is a cosmetic, not a treatment: with eczema, dermatitis or persistent rashes, follow your doctor's advice. It is fragranced, so if you react to perfume, patch-test on the inner elbow first. If you like a dense foam and a squeaky-clean feel, a soft creamy lather may seem too gentle.
For the rest of the routine, see body care and body milk.
FAQ
Is a cream-gel shower cleanser good for dry skin?
A cream-gel is milder than a classic gel, so it is often chosen by people prone to dryness. Pair it with warm water and a moisturizer after the shower, and see a dermatologist if dryness is pronounced.
Can I use a shower cream every day?
Yes. Silk Touch is designed for regular use, and its pH of 5.5-6.0 is close to the skin's natural pH.
How is a shower cream different from a body milk?
A shower cream cleanses and is rinsed off. A body milk hydrates and stays on the skin. They are separate steps that work well together.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The brand positions Silk Touch for sensitive skin. Because it contains fragrance, patch-test a small area first if you tend to have allergies.
