An expert toner

Advantages: Gentle
Disadvantages: None for me

...clear and completely fragrance free. The hole in the top of the bottle is quite big so care is needed when pouring it on to cotton wool or far too much of the stuff will come out. It is non astringent and doesn?t make my face feel tight , but rather makes my skin feel refreshed and nicely cool. HOW TO USE IT... Simply apply the toner to cleansed skin and for best results, it?s advised that you use the Expert range cleanser and moisturiser. PRICE AND AVAILABILITY... £2.69 for 200ml, the product is available from Boots stores and online at www.boots.com. DOES IT WORK? Like most of the Boots Expert range, I like this product and find that it does as it promises and works for me. The product is reasonably priced even at full price, and is easy to use. It?s nice and gentle and does remove any last traces of dirt and make...

Review of Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner

Never used a cleanser or toner before

Advantages: One step and easy to use
Disadvantages: Can't use it around your eye area

...I personally have never used a cleanser or toner before. I've always used soap to clean my face, but have never honestly been happy with how my skin looked. So I decided to be adventurous and try one. But where do you begin? I headed for the Clarins counter, the lady there was extremely helpful in suggesting the correct product for my skin type. My skin is combination, but does tend to have the odd occasional break out of spots/pimples. She directed me to their new product the One Step Cleanser. Its a cleanser and toner in one. As this was new to me I asked her what I thought was a really dumb question - What does a toner do? She answered with it removes any cleanser left behind. I looked at the product and noted that it was slightly orange in colour, this is due to the orange blossom used, the bottle appears as two different...

Advantages: Great to prevent and reduce spots, reasonable price, nice smell
Disadvantages: None!

...a beauty consultant in Boots and she had reccomended the skincare regieme to 'cleanse, tone and moisturise' every morning and night to clear up skin altogether. So i bought the simple cleanser and toner and to complete the set a oil control, shinefree simple moisturiser. Now i had previously never had a 'skincare regieme' before and was pleasently surprised with the results good skincare can do and what an extra couple of minutes every morning and night can make. Suddenly i was getting less spots and the spots i did get weren't as blindingly obvious as before and cleared up within a few days. My skin was more even and refined and the need to use tonnes of foundation to cover up those inconvienent little lurkers wasn't as neccassary as before. The Product The cleanser is a thick, white substance that you apply with the aid of a cotton wool...

Review of Simple Cleanser & Toner

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

Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner

Advantages: soothes, rebalances pH levels
Disadvantages: Can be considered expensive

...approach to skincare has led them to blend medical grade plant and marine actives, nurturing Milk Proteins and clinically proven skin compatible bases for theraputic products with serious results. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Why I brought this product ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I had a facial at an Elemis Spa, it was lovely, the best facial I've ever had. This is why I have been such a religious user of Elemis products. After the facial, the therapist sat down with me and gave me a list of products she had used on me, and recommended products. As the products were quite expensive and I didn't already use a cleanser and toner I thought I would start with them, so I purchased both the suitable cleanser and toner from the salon - Soothing Camomile Cleanser and Soothing Apricot Toner. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What the product looks like...

Review of Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner

** A Confused Cleanser **

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

...day; I actually had a comment on how fresh my skin looked. Wahey!!! However, on a down note, this is a cleanser, not a moisturiser and I feel it is somewhat confused. It took off the top layer of make up, the obvious foundation that any soap and water would remove. But the real dirt and grime caught on the skin and disgustingly clogging up my pores was not moved or budged. I didn?t feel completely clean and I usually do after using a relatively good cleanser. So I wasn?t surprised when I used my toner and that brought up a load more dirt and make up, which usually is almost gone before I use toner. So I am a little disappointed at how much this cleanser does take off. I would probably use this after I have already given my face a good clean or if I had a good day without wearing any make up etc. So yes, it works and is very gentle...

Review of B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful B Gone Cleanser

Gorgeous crème cleanser for velvety skin!

Advantages: Cleans skin, removes make up, moisturising.
Disadvantages: Little pricey, but you get what you pay for!

...This is possibly the most luxurious cleanser on the market! I got a free sample from the Estee Lauder website and it is always a pleasure to use. Like most girls I have tried every cleaner, be it wipes, liquid, soap or cream we have been there and tried that! But I really think that I have found a cleanser to top all of them! Estee Lauder Soft Clean Crème Cleanser comes in a light pink bottle, with a flip top lid which dispenses easily into your fingers. It is a lovely baby pink colour matching the packaging, and has a beautiful smell, almost like creamy cotton wool (an odd way of describing it I know) but it really is lovely, it's a smooth 'crème' which isn't in the slightest greasy. The instructions are very easy, apply to your face, smooth in circles and wipe gently off with cotton wool. You don't have to use very much, a lot...

Review of Estee Lauder Cleansers & Toners Soft Clean Creme Cleanser (Dry Skin)

SIMPLE - What it says on the bottle!

Advantages: Non-Greasy, Non-Perfumed.
Disadvantages: None to me!

...after you have finished cleansing. After cleansing you need to apply the toner. *SOOTHING TONER* ￡1.99 for 200ml bottle. After you have finished cleansing, apply a generous amount of the soothing toner to your cotton wool and apply to your skin, again in an upright direction as this improves skin condition and suppleness. This not only removes make-up traces but any cleanser which might have been left behind. It refreshes your skin without drying it out, and if like me you have combination skin (i.e. Oily on forehead and chin, dry on cheeks) you will find that the toner balances this problem out. The toner contains Witch Hazel and Chamomile which helps soothe and improve skin's condition. There is no stinging sensation, like you get with some toner's. It feels like a really really refreshing wash, and your skin feels really...

Review of Simple Cleanser & Toner

Mismatched with the Soft and Soothed Cleanser

Advantages: A lot in the bottle
Disadvantages: Certainly doesn't hydrate your skin

...I bought this toner solely because I'd sampled the Soft and Soothed Cleanser that the No7 range also offers in the past and I'd been impressed. Having spent the years between the age of 11 and 24 trying all sorts on my acne-prone skin (from homeopathic remedies to essential oils to prescription items containing peroxide) I believed my skin had finally calmed down enough that I could safely get into a more traditional "skincare routine". So what are the basics, I thought? Yes - cleanse, tone, moisturise. I knew of the Soft and Soothed Cleanser, I'd tried it before so it seemed to me that it was the ideal time to add the toner to my bathroom range. But no. The one thing I will give this toner is that it does remove all leftover traces of cleanser. For baffling reasons, Boots have opted to package it in an elegant looking container (fair...

Review of Boots No 7 Soft & Soothed Gentle Toner

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...
