I have quite oily skin and have previously suffered from acne but this is perfect for any kind of skin, be it dry, normal OR oily.
The product 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 cloth (that you can get with the purchase of the cleanser) to wipe it off. I usually leave the cleanser on for a little longer if possible in the evening, to produce a deeper clean, then use the cloth with very hot water before giving my face a cool rinse to follow to close the pores.
My skin always looks smoother after using this, and as it's made mainly from natural products it really feels as if you are doing your skin some good. And, of course, it's not tested on animals which is even better.
It really is a pleasure to use, it's a creamy texture, white in colour, and smells really nice. I try and use it morning and night (even though I'm occasionally lazy with this regime) but it never seems too much of a hassle - and guaranteed after a couple of weeks of using it you really will feel the difference. It always feels very gentle on the skin and I think would be suitable even for those who often react to cleansers - if this is you you can also get a cheaper tester vesion in one of the "Try Me" sets - so try before you buy!
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 does seem to go a long way.
This can also be used to remove eye makeup remover, and I've used it on my eyes for quite a long time now, and never felt a stinging sensation often associated with eyemakeup removers no matter how sensitive. You can rub it direcetly onto the eyelashes with eyes closed and it does remove water proof mascara, my eyes never seem red after using it and the muslin cloth aids the wiping, but when you put this under the water the masca washes easily off of that too, leaving it clean for another couple of uses!
You do need to wash the muslin cloth fairly regularly, as obviously any bacteria may remain on the cloth and ruin the goodness of the cleanser. I think you can realistically use the cloth for 2 days worth, or 4 washes, and then it's worth putting it in the washing machine!
Overall I love this product, and could never be without it again - the only teensy weensy problem being the price - but never seeing my skin this great before I started using this product I think it's money worth spending!
