Cleansers & Exfoliators > Christian Dior Cleansers & Exfoliators

Advantages: Easy to use, smells divine
Disadvantages: none

...cleansers but I came across Christian Dior Cleansing Gelee and at £10.80 for 200ml thought it was a good buy and decided to give it a go. It was on offer at the time but the full price was just £14.50 so I thought it was still a good buy as I have spent more on cleansers in the past. I received it after a few days and upon opening the packaging a white and pink deocrative bottle awaited me. Silly as it may sound but I couldn't wait to use it - ...
...opened the bottle a wonderful aroma met me it was absolutely divine, and I was pleased to find that although this was a cleansing gel it had a similar consistency to the cream cleansers I have used in the past. It was a fairly runny gel but it was a pump dispenser so you got just the right amount out. I found I didn't need to add any water to it as it was very easy to massage onto my skin. My skin felt very clean after rinsing and the aroma lingered ... Read review

Advantages: Good value and quite effective on very sensitive skin
Disadvantages: Bit messy, can dry your skin

...and my friend bought some St Ives Swiss Formula Gentle Apricot Scrub. I was telling her about how my Mum had always bought me the original St Ives scrub in my teenage years but that it hindered rather than helped my face and she said that her Mum did the same but then she found the gentle version and she said it was much better. Slightly curious I asked her if I could "borrow" some when we got back to theirs and she was more than happy to oblige. ...
...product is apricot extract and St Ives Swiss Formula products seem to pride themselves on their natural botanically based products. Indeed this product claims to be made from 95% naturally derived products including swiss glacier water and swiss botanicals. However upon looking at the list of ingredients it seems fairly clear that although there are botanical and natural based products in there, there is also added fragrance and still quite a few ...

Advantages: Works like magic!
Disadvantages: Clinical smell, a bit drying to the skin, but that's alright if u use a good moisturiser afterwards

...I have never tried Neutrogena products before, so I thought I'd have a go. I went down to Boots and bought the Neutrogena visibly clear exfoliating wash. The bright orange packaging certainly catches your eye but looks almost clinial. Not very attractive. It claims to be a gentle facial scrub with natural plant extracts that cleans deep down. It has little microbeads that scrub away dead skin and leave your skin feeling lovely and soft. Well, i ...
...bit drying to the skin, but nothing that a good moisturiser cannot deal with afterwards! My verdict : This one is a keeper! It works like magic for me, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Now, I can hardly wait to try out other Neutrogena products! ... Read review

Advantages: results, smell, removes all traces of makeup,
Disadvantages: price tag..

...the breakouts.... anyway, this Lancome product was listed as an example of one of these new oil cleanser products so I decided to try it. I knew a Lancome product would be expensive and it was £18.50 for a 200ml bottle from Boots, but I figured paying under £5 for my cleanser hadnt helped my skin much so far so I bought it. My first impresion was how muched I liked the packaging, it was simple and had that 'expensive' look about it. The instuctions ...
...is worth it becasue a little of the oil goes a long way and one bottle lasts for several months, I'm tempted now to buy the Lancome toner and moisturiser as well. But so far my regular Simple moisturiser and toner has worked fine alongside the Lancome Oil. ... Read review

Advantages: Great cleanser, good for skin, removes makeup
Disadvantages: Price - but WELL WORTH IT!

...can be found on the Liz Earle website (search google!) and also, I've heard, QVC. The website often does offers which include this and the 2 complimentary products (toner and moisturiser) and usually includes an extra product which can save money. The last amount I paid was around £34 for the three products plus a line smoothing serum. The product is a cleanser, so you apply onto dry skin, massage it into the face and neck. You then use the muslin ...
...I recommend using other LIz Earle products too, such as the toner and moisturiser, and they do seem to compliment the cleanser, although this can turn into quite an expensive regime, and I'm sure the cleanser would work fine on it's own. It tends to last quite a long time, I normally only have to push down the pump dispenser half way each time i use it, and can cleanse my whole face with only that much. The cream being quite thick a little really ... Read review
