I have yet to find my 'Holy Grail' Cleanser/face wash. My skin is a teeny tiny bit oily but quite dry, so combination i guess..

I have tried:
Clinique three step system
Clarins Shea butter foaming cleanser
Dermalogica ultra calming cleanser
The pink grapefruit one from Neutrogena
Simple one - great when i was a spotty pre-teen,
Clarisonic Cleanser
One by Ponds

And probably a million more, they're all alright but none of them amazing.
The amazing part is the Clarisonic I've got, but am struggling to find something good to use with/before/after/whatever it

Any really good product recommendations?...

Liz Earle - Hot Polish with muslin cloths. Excellent stuff and reasonable in price too.

I like cleansers with cloths too. Liz Earle is great, but Superdrug do a great version called something like Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser. It's something like £2.99 for a humungous tube, and I think it's as good as Liz Earle.

If you want to go upmarket, REN do two lovely cleansers: a balm and also a milk.

I second Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. I changed to something cheaper a few months ago, but it was a mistake as after a few weeks my skin looked dull. I think you can buy it from QVC and then send it back if you don't like it for a full refund, worth looking into if you wanted to try it.

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish here. I'm a very recent convert and my skin has definitely improved. Also been using Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair and that's also improved my skin.

Liz Earle too. I use it with my clarisonic and then hot cloth it off. Amazing stuff.

I use Liz Earle in the evening, and in the morning I use Origins frothy face wash. Highly recommend them both!

elemis pro radience creamm cleanser - same concept as cleanse and polish but I think it is far more luxurious, smells better and is more hydrating. My new fave cleanser.

Oh and also Nutrogena pink grapefruit scrub for morning showers when I can't be doing with the faffing of a hot cloth cleanser Smile it smells yum and is quite gentle - my skin benefits from regular sloughing!

Liz Earle is good. Or the Boots Organics cleansing balm and cloth. I quite fancy the new No7 cleansing balm but haven't tried it yet. Any creamy cleanser with a cloth is basically better than any rinse off or foaming kind IMO.

Elemis pro radiance cream cleanser and apricot toner are amazing.

Hello,
Thanks for all your lovely replies, i would love to try Eve Lom, but its really expensive, i had a look at Space NK when i bought my clarisonic.

I've heard that a Elemis counter is opening up at my local debenhams, so i may wait until then and try an Elemis one, they are in the Eve Lom price range aren't they? Or something similar?

I think the ones i will try next are Elemis, Origins and Liz Earle, not all at once, But next time i am in manchester, i will pop in to the huge boots, which is heaven on earth and pick up some origins things! aaahh.

I usually LOVE Dermalogica but i think the one is too gentle for my skin, as it dosnt do much to it.

I have normal to dry skin, but also get a bit spotty with some dry skin products. My favourite cleansers are E45 wash creaml, Dr Haushka rose cleansing milk and Lush 'Angels on bare skin'.
These three are the only cleansers I have used which give my skin an even texture the following morning.
