The majority of my Lush purchases are soaps and other bath products but as I was using so much from Lush I decided to try some facial care products from them too. As my skin is very sensitive on my face I thought it would be best to go and speak to a Lush assistant and ask which cleanser would be most suited for my skin type, I was advised to try Fresh Farmacy and was given a massive 55g sample to take away and try so that I could ensure it was ...
...chalky residue. The assistant in Lush informed me that the bar contains Calamine lotion which is often used to treat chicken pox and other skin rashes which cause itching and discomfort because it soothes and reduces inflammation and has antiseptic properties, however I found that my skin actually began to feel sore and itchy having used the product. I found it quite disheartening that the mildest product in the store meant for skin as sensitive ... Read review

Advantages: It does exactly what it says on the tin (well bottle!)
Disadvantages: None that I've found.

...of my new purchases was Clean and Clear's Blackhead Clearing Cleanser which promised results from day one. The back of the bottle informs me that this has been 'specially formulated to start acting against blackheads from day 1. It removes oil, dirt and dead cells trapped deep in the pores - the impurities that can lead to blackheads. It also contains a blackhead fighting ingredient and helps prevent blackheads from coming back.' So far so good. ...
...after just one use of Clean and Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser! Well done Johnsons for actually living up to your claims. I've since continued using this cleanser and I do think the blackheads on my nose are getting less and less noticeable. I also like that it makes my skin feel fresh and tight after washing with a foaming cleanser. Clean and Clear Blackhead Cleaning Cleanser comes in a 200ml clear purple bottle. I paid £1.98 in Tesco where ... Read review

Advantages: visibly healthy skin, easy to use
Disadvantages: none

I started using St Ives Ultra Gentle Apricot Scrub a few months ago when it was bought for me as a gift and since then this has been my first choice of product to use. I immediately noticed a visable change to my skin. I looked fresh and healthy. I believe that this is the best product of its type to use because after applying to your skin you feel very clean and hydrated. My skin felt much smoother and softer and I really felt like it was deep ... Read review

Advantages: Slinky new Body

St Ives Ultra Gentle Apricot Scrub…… This is actually one product type that I have been using for a long while as I think it is absolutely essential for anyone (male or female) to exfoliate on a weekly basis. I tend to get fairly dry skin therefore I use a lot of lotions & potions and after a while there is nothing better than to give the skin a good exfoliation and get to feel like a snake who has just shed their skin! In actual fact though I ...
...this St Ives Apricot Scrub. My skin is slightly sensitive but I still find that the original version of this product does such a great job and does not really make my skin feel anything other than slinky and new. It was by mistake that I picked up this "Ultra Gentle" version and when I realised I had picked up the wrong one I was pretty annoyed but considered giving it a go anyway. Price and Packaging ****************** The whole St Ives range ... Read review
