Advantages: Great cleanser, works deep down and leaves skin feeling so smooth
Disadvantages: Has an old fashioned image which may put people off but its great!

I thought this would be really thick and gloopy but it was the best cleanser I have tried in a long time. My skin hasn't felt really cleansed for ages, since I've been using wipes but after using Pond's cleanser my skin feels so smooth and moisturised and it removes all trace of make up - even tough mascara. I was so pleased with it, I'm converted. My Gran would be so proud that we use the same product! I've trried it with water and cotton wool ...
...muslin cloth (a la expensve Eve Lom) if you soak this in hot water when you take off the cleanser it works to open the pores and cleanse deep down. After you've wiped the cleanser off with the muslin cloth, then clean your face with cold water, either on the cloth or just a splash, this will help close the pores. ... Read review

...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

...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

...had read a lot about Clinique and it's 3 step regime of skincare of cleanse, clarify and moisturise so decided to give it a try. There was a Clinique stand at my local department store which to my delight had a special offer on of buy one full size product from the 3 step range and get the other two as free samples. Always one for a bargain I thought that'll do me! The Clinique assistant told me she would ask me 8 questions about my skin and the ...

...To try the range of Burt's Bees products, it may be useful to buy on of the travel packs (I bought the head to toe starter pack, which was about £15. There are other travel sized packs with the cleanser in them, though) I would recommend this cleanser to everyone! The ingredients are not only natural, they also seem to be gentle and well balanced so as not to irritate the skin or clog it up. Some people may not like the greasy feel of it, though. ...
