My main skin problem is massive ( and I mean mahoosive) pores. And pores like to fill up with stuff, so there's that too. My skin is combination, but oddly the oily bits are not where the massive pores are. I stated trying to sort this in the 80s, when the received wisdom was tone with something very astringent, which is when I found out my skin reacts to harsh chemicals. So I favour natural products.

I am a non-tester. My greatest issue is dark spots. i also have a lot of breakouts.

Non-tester - dry and flaky skin esp around my hairline and my scalp. SO GRIM!

Non tester

Some facial products really dry my skin out

Non tester

I have oily skin with hormonal outbreaks. I really can't get to midday without looking like I have an oil slick on my face :(

Non-tester. I probably don't get enough sleep and I find my skin can be quite dull. I also get red patches which I can usually conceal but it's tricky to find something that lasts.

Non tester - biggest facial skin issue - very prone to spots, but also very sensitive skin which can get dry too easily when using spot creams

My issues are combination skin that is sensitive. I have always needed hypoallergenic facial products. Many cosmetic companies assume that sensitive skin must be dry. Finding products that work for me has been a nightmare. Also, products I find work are then 'improved' and give me breakouts so I have to start the search again. I discovered Cleanse and Polish 10 years ago (I am 64 now) and haven't looked back. Please don't change it. I can't use the skin tonic but I use the light moisturiser in the morning and superskin moisturiser at night. I'm very grateful to Liz Earle!

Forgot to say. Non tester.

Non tester Hormonal acne around the chin area which causes ingrown hairs and spots which never seem to clear up!

Non-tester:

My biggest facial issue is recurring dry, red patches. My GP says they're not eczema, but they behave in a similar way. I have to really keep on top of cleansing and moisturising to keep them at bay.

Non tester

Where do I start?Newish knackered headteacher, lack of sleep, long days, lack of time and stressed out. All has taken its toll. Add to the feeling of my skin aging by at least five years in the last two! 😟
Treats needed. 💕💕Skin is dry, wrinkly and as one of my pupils said "Mrswhataway you have crinkles like my granny"* ( and I'm no where near that age! 😉

non-tester. My biggest skincare issue is breakouts on my chin, nose and bizarrely on the side of my neck under my ears. These are linked to my monthly cycle I think and I feel I always need a deep cleanse when they appear. I like the sound of the hot cloth cleanser which seems to combine traditional soap an water treatment with a good quality cleanser.

Non tester here! I get HUGE pores across my nose and under my eyes, and also quite congested and dehydrated skin on my cheeks...it's an attractive combination!

Non tester:
Bit hard to choose my biggest facial issue!! Uneven skin tone, probably- it's randomly red and blotchy in places for no obvious reason! Also feel a bit delicate about first signs of ageing..

Another wee update from me after a good couple of week's use.

While my skin still looks good and I am still pleased with the results I have a feeling that the moisturiser may be too rich for me. Since using it I have developed quite a large number of small white spots round my mouth. They are very tiny but we're not there before so I am sure it is the moisturiser. This is a shame as I do like it.

I am going to give the moisturiser a rest for a few days and see if that eases them.

I've never used Liz Earle before, so was delighted to have the opportunity.
Initial thoughts:
Packaging is luxurious and makes you feel like you are using a premium brand. The smell of the moisturiser is just gorgeous, as you put it on, you inhale and feel calmer and brighter. The cream easily absorbs and is non-greasy. Easy to use pot. It's made in Great Britain and does not test/ use animal extract, which makes you also feel good about using it.

After at least a week of use please share

The biggest facial issue I have is a real phobia about not damaging my skin further. I don't want to drag it or pull it and am already concerned about the tiny fine lines at the corners of my eyes. I've got maturing fair skin and don't want to do the wrong thing as I'm sure there would be no going back. I'm always on the hunt for the holy grail of techniques/products.

Non-tester
Had so many issues finding skincare products that don't cause an allergic reaction

Enlarged pores and starting to see fine wrinkles! 😫

My biggest facial skin issue is skin dryness. This is at different levels at different times of the year but is always an issue!

Non tester - when I was a teenager my skin was fine and when I hit my 30s I started to get really deep rooted, almost cystic lumpy spots. My dad has rosacea so I wonder whether this is related

My biggest facial issue is spots,especially on my nose,where it can sometimes feel quite greasy.I love the hot cloth cleanser,it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth after use.

Non tester: dark circles and wrinkles under the eyes.

Non tester. Biggest facial skin issue is rosacea/eczema - normally it affects my neck and stops before it gets to my face, but it does knock my confidence and affect how I look. It is made worse in the sun which is difficult as I like to get out in the garden with the kids.
Would love to try the products after seeing this feedback!
