Cleansers & Exfoliators > Christian Dior Cleansers & Exfoliators > 15 GBP to 29 GBP

Advantages: Fairly Cheap, Gets skin clean
Disadvantages: Soapy Smell, left my skin dried out

...only thing they had was Clean & Clear exfoliating daily wash. This is a cleanser which exfoliates as well, and although I didn't particularly want to change cleansers, I decided that this would do until I could get back into town. ~About the product~ The Clean & Clear range is made by Johnson & Johsnon. This wash contains micro-beads which not only remove dirt and oil, but also get rid of the dead skin cells that can block pores, and cause spots ...
...one I have is slightly different to the one pictured above. It comes in a blue squeezy tube which stands on a purple coloured lid. The packaging is quite plain and simple - there's nothing glamorous about it, and it's not one of those things that you can display on the bathroom shelf, but it's what's inside that counts. ~Using it~ The wash is a white in colour and contains lots of small white grains. I was not impressed with the smell of this stuff ... Read review

Advantages: clears up blemishes, makes skin more radiant, inexpensive
Disadvantages: none

...IT I was wandering around Boots with my mom, looking for a birthday present for a friend. After we found her present, we decided to have a browse round to look for, well, anything really. We were walking through the skincare section when we came across the Tea Tree and Witch Hazel range. Having spent the previous 10 minutes or so looking at the Clarins and Clinique ranges, we were instantly drawn to favour this range due to the ever so slightly ...
...the low price and the method of dispensing. I had a cleanser a couple of years ago dispensed in the same way (liquid to foam) and loved using it (so much that I can't even remember what it was called!) so I was looking forward to using the same type of cleanser again. USING IT This cleanser was a dream to use! The liquid turns to foam as it is used, which you then spread over your face. I was a bit dubious about the foam texture, I thought it might ...

Advantages: Clears spots!
Disadvantages: Can make skin feel tight. Expensive.

Having tried Clinique's anti-blemish gel with disapointing results I was a bit reluctant to try their 3 step system for blemished skin. But the shop assistant persuaded me to give it a go. I haven't looked back since! The packaging is a solid affair in Clinique's usual simple style with a big C on the front. The product is dispensed through a pump on the top of the bottle. I only need 2 or 3 squirts of the foam to cover my face, and I only use ...
...use it twice a day but at this price I can't afford that and once a day does me fine. I can't really feel it working when it's on my face, some washes I've used tingle, this doesn't. But when I've used it my face feels clean and smooth. Initially I was horrified - my spots got worse! But having spent about £10-15 on a bottle I perservered. I'm so glad I did. My skin has never looked this good. I found this product doesn't dry my skin too much but ... Read review

Advantages: Very effective
Disadvantages: Can be expensive

Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Lotion is designed to fight oil, to cleanse deeply and help remove spots. It removes the everyday build-up of dirt, oil and grease that soap and water just can't reach. It is completely effective when used on its own as a one-step cleanser but also works very well at tightening pores, refreshing and toning your skin after you've washed your face. I personally swear by this stuff, it kept me 90% spot free through my teenage ...
...actually resembles blue water. It's small is quite strong but nice. I think this is another fantastic product from clean and clear. I recommend it to anybody who wants clearer, smoother or just healthier looking skin. A great product and it only costs about £3 to buy a 200ml bottle! ... Read review

Advantages: Makes skin smooth without tingling or tightening.
Disadvantages: Hard to apply. Expensive.

I tried this around a friend's house during a girly night in, I decided to buy myself some because I liked the effect it had on my skin. The packaging is clinique's usual simple style. The instructions are a bit scary - you are warned to avoid your hairline or eyebrows! So I put it on very carefully and took my time, which I guess adds to the pampering. The product is what I can only describe as gloop. It is very hard to smooth on your face to ...
...it is transparent so you can't see very easily where you have put it. Once on it feels very comfortable, perhaps a little tight but not really noticable at all. It is 100% fragrance free so there is no girly smell to it. As the name suggests you leave this on for 15 minutes, then you can either rub the excess product off with your fingers, or wash it off with a warm face cloth. I used the cloth because I couldn't tell if I'd got it off with my fingers. ... Read review
