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...

Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes

Advantages: Removes make up including waterproof, daily grime & pollution
Disadvantages: Expensive, don't exfoliate, still need cleanser & toner

...Nivea facial cleansing wipes and great for several things - taking make up off, including waterproof, cleansing hands or just for refreshing your face to relieve your skin of daily grime and pollution. The wipes are great to keep at home or to carry around with you in your handbag as they are very flexible. These wipes come in two varieties - normal or sensitive skin types, the normal comes in a white and blue pack and the sensitive comes in a white and pink pack. Both normal and sensitive have resealable packs with a self adhesive label, which helps to prevent the wipes from drying out. This actually does work and doesn't start to peel back or loose its adhesive qualities after a few uses, like a lot of self adhesive packing does. Each pack contains 25 wipes. Nivea wipes are suitable for normal, dry and sensitive skin types...

Review of Nivea Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes

Ferocious Facial Wipes

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: leaves your skin dry, the wipes can dry out

...Wilkinson is known for many products which are good value for money, so when I was shopping in my local store the other day and spotted these skin therapy facial wipes for only 88p I had to snap them up, they were a bargain. So What Are They? Wilkinson Skin Therapy facial wipes come in rectangle white packaging with a sticky tearaway strip on the front. On the background of the white packaging it says 'wipe away the day's grime'. This product also says on the front that they will remove make up, cleanse and tone skin for a clearer complexion. There are 25 wipes in a packet and as said before they are 88p, they are also PH balanced and alcohol free. The Wipe Test As these wipes promised to be both a cleanser, a toner and a make up remover I have tested all three of these to see if the wipes are up to the job. Cleansing...

Lush Cupcake Fresh Facial Mask

Advantages: works well and smells divine
Disadvantages: none at all

...Lush Cupcake Fresh Facial Mask I have used this product loads and it is one of my all time favourite Fresh Facial Masks from Lush. Cupcake facial mask smells just like its name in the fact that it is heavy chocolate fragranced and looks slightly like a lump of chocolate (or a large poo depending on how you look at it.) I paid £4.95pence for this clear plastic pot of the product and in my findings you will get around 5 to 6 applications to your face (depending on how large your face it! And how thickly you spread it on!) Now I tend not too apply the facial mask too thickly otherwise it doesn't dry properly and you end up with part that have dried and parts that are still sticky. You have to apply the mask to a clean face so I always cleanse and tone before applying a thin layer to my skin. The advised time to leave...

Review of Lush Cupcake Facial Mask

*INSERT RUDE TITLE ABOUT FACIALS HERE*

Advantages: Removes unseen layers of grime and blackheads, smells lovely and fresh, no irritation
Disadvantages: No instructions or guide, price

...I have over time devoted more and more time to a cleansing regime to ensure that the skin on my face despite the constant battering it takes from the London air and my sometimes unhealthy lifestyle remains smooth, soft and generally appealing to my wife, after all, nobody likes to snuggle up next to someone with an invisible layer of grime on their face with dead skin aplenty. I stumbled across Swisa Beauty Dead Sea Facial Peel while making a purchase as a leaving present for a girl from work prior to Christmas. I wasn?t looking to buy anything for myself but after the girl on the stall gave me a quick demonstration and showed me how much grime had come off a small surface of my face some 30 minutes after showering I was shamed into parting with £30 for a 30ml pot of the facial peel. Now, £30 is a lot to pay for any sort of beauty...

Facial Cleanser for lazy people

Advantages: Feels clean and ease of use.
Disadvantages: Not cheap.

...As a fan of Olay products, I requested these facial cleanser as a sample. After having used this particular facial cleanser for six months now, I believe I am finally qualified to voice my opinion. Well, read on ... The facial cleanser I have been using are the ones for normal to oily skin. And given the fact that Easter is round the corner, lots of chocolates consumed as well as those yet to be eaten, I think a timely reminder to wash one's face regularly can stop those spots from making their annual appearances. Packaging When I first bought this, they were selling the 30 cloths in the usual plastic box and it included a smaller box that was useful for travel. I guess that was the gimmick that got me to buy. Once I had the box, all I needed was to buy the refills whenever I need to. I carry the smaller box for my...

Lush Cupcake Facial Mask

Advantages: Softens and cleanses.
Disadvantages: Price.

...For ages I've been reading reviews and hearing the praises of Lush products and how different and effective their range of goodies are! And when my friend bought a tub of Lush's Cupcake facial mask and said how good it was I was really interested and being the best friend that she is... she let me try it out. This particular mask is supposedly good for preventing breakout and removing excess oils, and is deep cleansing, the product comes in a user friendly tub containing the chocolate coloured ingredients which are made up of rhassoul mud, cocoa butter and peppermint and spearmint oils! These ingredients have the ability to transform sluggish, oily skin into a clean, bright new face, so they say! Sandalwood oil and linseed infusion are also used and are very softening, so men can use this to soften their stubble before...

Daily facials in a box

Advantages: Quick, easy to use, no bacteria build up since individual cloths, removes makeup and also cleanses and tones
Disadvantages: a little pricey

...I was browsing around Boots with my Mum a few months ago, looking for something to spend her many boots advantage points on. I needed some eye makeup remover and also a new facial cleanser, so was pleasantly surprised to see that Olay now did ‘Daily Facials’ which were supposed to do both – and more. However, looking at the price – 6.99 for a tub of 30 cloths and then another 5.99 for refills – was it really worth it? But seeing as it was only points we were spending (and it’s always hard to find something you really want to buy with them), I wasn’t too bothered and decided I’d try them, and then see if I wanted to spend real money on them later. So what exactly are they? Well, they are 30 cloths, about 6 by 8 inches, in a little plastic tub. This tub is great – it has...

Great value facial wipes

Advantages: Added vitamin E and great cleansing
Disadvantages: No special features

...I always like a bargain and personally I think many of the Tesco own brand products are pretty good value. I like to have facial wipes in the house as they are great way to remove make up as part of a cleansing routine. I am not generally loyal to any particular brand of wipes tending to buy whatever is on offer. The other day whilst browsing around Tesco I spotted their Tesco Facial Wipes with Vitamin E at just under £1 for 25 wipes. That was a much better price than any of the branded ranges, even allowing for the 2 for 1 offers around, so I picked up a pack and popped them into my shopping trolley. According to the pack they are 'suitable for all skin types' and as I don't have sensitive skin I was quite happy to give them a try. In common with many skin wipes these comes in a plastic pack with a peel off label and the front...

Review of Tesco Clear Skin Deep Facial Cleansing Wipes

Its a Daily Facial

Advantages: Easy to Use, Everything You Need in One Cloth
Disadvantages: Slightly Expensive

...Yes, I?m on the trail of special offers again, in my local Superdrug as usual! PACKAGING I bought the refill pack so there may be a difference to the normal packs. The refills come in a box with the Olay logo with the words Daily Facials on it; the cloths themselves are enclosed in a plastic wrapper inside the box. There?s not a lot else I can say about that (I watched Forrest Gump on Sunday!) THE CLOTHS Initially the when the cloths are taken out of the plastic wrapper each cloth is folded into quarters with a shiny side up. This shiny side is what will create the lather when the cloth is made wet. The cloth has two different sides, one a soft side, which is for gentle cleansing of the more delicate areas of the face like the eyes, and one is a rough side, this is for gentle exfoliation on the main of the face and neck...
