Comforting cleanser

Advantages: Very moisturising & soothing
Disadvantages: Expensive & leaves skin a bit greasy

...I bought this after getting a sample of a similar Clinique face wash and really liking it. I liked the sound of this one because it was described as being really gentle and I feel my skin is becoming increasingly sensitive recently. I cheated and got it from a seller on Amazon, which meant it worked out a few pounds cheaper than the original price which is £13.70 for the 150ml bottle. What it says on the bottle? ?Gently and effectively removes stubborn makeup, leaves skin smooth and comfortable? It also directs you to massage in the cleanser before rinsing or wiping off with a tissue. Packaging? The bottle is typically Clinique, it is a white tube with a hint of pink. It has a green lid at the bottom and in block capitals ?Clinique? at the top and ?comforting cream cleanser? in smaller black writing beneath...

Review of Clinique Cleansers Comforting Cream Cleanser

** A Confused Cleanser **

Advantages: Lovely on the skin, smooths and refreshes.
Disadvantages: Expensive, it does not cleanse as well as it should, disappointing packaging.

...On my first and very recent trip to the Aladdin?s cave that is B Never too Busy To Be Beautiful, I treated myself to a little introductory ?Beauty Takeaway? box. It was fairly expensive at £15 but gave me lots of little products to try to get to know the ?B? Range without having to buy full size products at full size prices. One of the items was a rather generous 25g of their B Gone Cleanser. If there is one thing I love it?s a freshly cleaned face and I had high hopes for this. ** B Never too Busy to be Beautiful ** To explain this shop as easily as possible, for the health and beauty fans it works on the same basis as shops such as Lush and The Body Shop. For the people who may not be as clued up, I will just explain briefly... The company sells a treasure trove of health and beauty products, but is mainly known...

MD Formulations Facial Cleanser

Advantages: cleanses, exfoliates, leaves skin smooth, no residue left, improves skin condition
Disadvantages: None

...a result driven skin care range with dramatic results. Although it doesn't seem the most glamorous of skin care ranges, the proven results are all you need to know that it is amazing. Facial Cleanser The active ingredient in this is glycolic acid, so I will be talking about and referring to this alot in the review as it is very important. Glycolic acid is an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), which is a naturally occurring substance that has been used for centuries to improve the appearance of the skin. Of all the AHA's, Glycolic acid, derived from sugar cane, has the greatest ability to penetrate the skin due to it's smaller molecular size. Glycolic acid has the ability to act as a superior moisturiser for the skin. Glycolic acid is the only AHA or product that is small enough to penetrate to the basal layer (the deepest skin layer on your...

Aveda - Top Class Cleanser

Advantages: Suits my skin very well. Lovely to use.
Disadvantages: Price!

...charge taking any notice of this fact? Aveda is certainly at the premium end of the beauty industry, but at least you can shop with a clear conscience. For over 30 years this company has been at the forefront of promoting ethical values. They do not test on animals. They are now carbon neutral. They cannot yet obtain every single ingredient from an organic source, but around 90% of their ingredients are certified organic. They use recycled materials as far as possible in their packaging. They support various environmental charities and practice fair trade policies. For much more about Aveda and their products see their website at: www.aveda.co.uk Aveda Purifying Facial Gel I like to use a wash-off facial cleanser because I feel refreshed by using water on my face and also I cannot be bothered faffing around...

Eve Lom Cleanser: The best cleanser in the world? Probably..

Advantages: An all rounder that actually promises what it delivers - better skin!
Disadvantages: Starts at £48 for 100ml so can be a bit pricey for some

...cleanser quite a few times in different magazines. It has been around for circa 20 years now and has earned a bit of a cult status around beauty editors, make up artists and consumers ? other wonder products come and go but this seems to remain a firm favourite. In fact Vogue calls it ?probably the best cleanser in the world? A bit about Eve Lom Eve was born in Czechoslovakia and married Pink Panther actor Herbert Lom in France. Determined not to be another bored Hollywood housewife, she started studying beauty therapy specialising in lymphatic drainage, nutrition and cranial Osteopathy In 1983 whilst living in London, Lom started up her own salon and launched her self named brand. What made me decide to buy it Okay so I had read and been intrigued by the constant references in magazines etc, but knew it was...

Clarins One Step Cleanser.. no thank you!

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Makes your skin feel really oily..

...I bought this Clarins 'One Step Facial Cleaner' when I was in Duty Free, I needed a new cleanser so I thought I would give this one a go since I have never tried it before. This particular cleaner is meant to cleanse and tone in one easy step, which I thought was good since it would cut some time out of cleansing and toning separately. The cleanser comes with orange extract and is meant to 'renew radiance'. The bottle is quite a simple design. It is made of see-through clouded white plastic with a red 'Clarins' logo at the stop of the bottle. It then has the name of the cleanser in French and then underneath that 'One Step Facial Cleanser With Orange Extracts'. The bottle has a white plastic lid which twists off and the cleanser comes of a spout at the top of the bottle. Since the cleanser comes out of a tiny hole at the top...

Review of Clarins One Step Facial Cleanser

Dermalogica Dermal Clay Cleanser

Advantages: Does what it says on the bottle
Disadvantages: Can be messy, longer to apply, menthol frangrance irritates my eyes.

...I was first introduced to the Dermalogica range, by my beautician and tried a variety of their products, which are lovely to use, always light, mostly frangrance free and hypoallergenic (less likely to provoke an allergic reaction). Even at 38, I'm still prone to the ocassional break out, which is an absolute pain. Not only do my spots last longer, but having darker skin, I'm always left with a dark scar where the blemish was. I've been using Dermalogica's Dermal Clay Cleanser on and off for a couple of years, but found I lapsed, preferring to use a facial wipe, which is quicker. The Clay does take a little longer to apply and take off, Dermal Clay has the consistency of a liquid clay, is slightly off white in colour and has a menthol frangrance. The active ingredients are kaolin and green clay, combined with extracts of ivy...

Ponds Cream Cleanser

Advantages: Great cleanser for winter time
Disadvantages: Can get a bit too oily for certain skin types

...I somehow have a penchant for picking up and trying different kinds of facial cleansers. I know it's generally said that you should stick with one kind and one brand to see if it suits your skin and eventually it is good for the skin as well. But I am never satisfied with one type. Recently when Ponds introduced their cleanser in the same packaging as their famous creams (that they have been selling since ages), I was tempted to buy the green white jar. Ponds was known to me as a trademark for thick facial and cold creams. They later also came up with the cleansing products like cloths and pore cleansers. This magnificent cream cleanser is a cold cream and a cleanser in one package. The jar is a classic ponds' white one with a green twist turn lid. It's easy to open and with the work of your fingures you can take as...

Bioré Ice Cleanser

Advantages: Cooling
Disadvantages: expensive, didnt have much effect

...that cleans deep into the pores, cleans acne and helps prevent future breakouts. With 20.000 pores to clean hopefully this will do its job. Also this is alcohol and soap free so shouldn't give you that tight feeling. Bioré Sponsor Will & Grace. ■ Packaging ■ This comes in a stand up pot with a push down lid measuring 8 cm high and 3 cm wide. The push down applicator gives you just the right amount of cleanser you should need for each application. The pot itself is green as are all the Biorè products. This holds 200ml. ■ How to use ■ Wet face with warm water, apply cleanser to hands working in to a lather then massage over entire face and neck. Rinse thoroughly.

Dermalogica Clay Cleanser - Prayers Answered!

Advantages: Clears, softens & vitalizes skin
Disadvantages: Expensive

...The clay cleanser was originally recommended to me by my cousin who had suffered severe acne in her teens and twenties. She is now free of sore lumpy acne prone skin thanks to this and the dermalogica anti-bacterial face wash. She like me, uses it to prevent and clear up the odd few spots. I have very sensitive skin therefore it is not uncommon for me to suffer a sudden flare up of painful spots. I use the clay cleanser most days and when these breakouts do occur (perhaps every 5 weeks or so) this product is excellent in calming them down. For best results you should massage it onto wet skin for approximately 3 minutes and wash off. What I like is how clean and soft it leaves your skin feeling. You only need to use a pea size amount and it instantly removes impurities and make up. Your face will feel refreshed from the first...
