[AngelwingsPetlamb]

Non tester here - my biggest facial issue is patchy dry areas and redness. I have found that layering moisturisers and serums helps somewhat with the dryness but my skin is very temperamental, if I don't keep it up it gets all dry and tight again.

[basm10178]

Non-tester: open, enlarged pores. Also 11s line wrinkle which makes me look cross!

[SweetPeaPods]

Non tester- my big issue is combination skin. I have very dry skin but also prone to acne and red patches to chin and nose. It's very difficult to find suitable skin care products.

[Headinthedrawer]

Non tester here-my biggest issue is dull skin.If I use exfoliaters they dry my skin out and irritate it.

[purplemanholecover]

My biggest skin issue is oily skin and big pores, my foundation always slides and sits in the pores around my nose, but since using the hot cloth cleanser, I feel my pores look smaller and my skin isn't as oily, so I don't need to use as many make up products to keep my make up in place! (Non-tester)

[DarkDarkNight]

Tester - update

Cleanse and polish: I did notice instant results from first use. The cleanser and the muslin left my skin looking plump and polished. I have never had any problems with sensitivity using this product and feel confident to use it to remove even eye make up.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the product to friends.

Superskin moisturiser Upon using for the first time my skin looked refined and felt very soft, if a littIe oily. I found the texture slightly heavy for my skin type and the product did exacerbate my hormonal acne around my time of the month. However my skin has now settled and I really like the way the product makes my skin look and feel. I would avoid using it around my nose and chin at certain times of the month, but for now my skin looks really clear.

A natural product that works: 3
Suitable for all skin types: 1 not a universal product, but it doesn't claim to be.

[Stephgr8]

non tester. My biggest issue is that my skin looks old, crinkly, uneven and exhausted yet I still have the kind of pimples I had as a teenager

[HalimaB]

Non tester - my biggest issue is dark dull skin complexion some products work temporarily but would love one that has a lasting effect

[havingablondemoment]

Non-tester biggest issue; Rosacea, can't leave the house without green corrector and foundation, coupled with lifelong excema & sensitivity.

[Kleptronic]

Non tester. Biggest issue spots. Closely followed by wrinkles. Am fed up of being aged and spotty still. Meh.

[bringmelaughter]

Tester here - thanks for choosing me to test, I never get chosen for this sort of stuff.

My first impressions: Since becoming a mum the amount of time and effort I spend on my appearance has shrunk massively partly as I'm busy but also 'cause I'm knackered and can't be bothered. I therefore don't have much of a routine beyond chucking myself under the shower and scrubbing my teeth.

I have dabbled with cleanse and polish in the distant past and liked it but haven't stuck to a routine of using anything so it's been a while since I've used it. I've never used the moisturiser.

I really like the look of both products and really love the pump bottle for cleanse and polish. It just feels easier to gauge how much to use and not waste it. I love the smell of cleanse and polish and like the smell of the moisturiser. The texture and feel of both are also really nice. They both feel like a treat.

Cleanse and polish
I like the way my skin feels after using it. It doesn't feel right or dry like some cleansers. It does feel really clean and there's something about the 'ritual' of using it with the hot cloth that makes it feel like you're treating yourself.

I'd give it 5 stars for:
A natural product that works
Suitable for all skin types
Simple to use
and I would recommend it to friends.

Superskin moisturiser
I initially liked this and it felt nice in my skin and very hydrating over dry areas however my chin has become more spotty over a week or so. It's only fair to say that this has been the case for me in the past with other moisturisers.

I would give it 5 stars for A natural product that works and Simple to use and 3 stars for Suitable for all skin types just because I think it probably could make oily areas more spot prone. I would recommend it to friends with dry skin.

[EasterRobin]

Non-tester here. Biggest facial skincare issue is combination skin - dry in some places and shiny in others.

[BlackeyedPetitsPois]

Non-tester here.

Biggest skin issue is open pores. I really struggle with getting pores to reduce and close which leaves my skin looking really uneven. Worse in hotter weather too.

[coolaschmoola]

Tester...

My first impressions were good. The packaging is attractive, the bag is a great idea and the cloths are a good size.

I love the smell of the Cleanse and Polish but don't like the smell of the cream, which is strange as I usually like neroli. The cream does feel silky and rich though.

Cleanse & Polish™

After the first use my face was soft and looked radiant. Apart from my eyes. Despite claiming to remove all make up it doesn't fully remove my mascara (Benefit They're Real). This is annoying as I have limited time in the mornings.

Already have!

Superskin™ Moisturiser with Natural Neroli


Initially my skin felt lovely, although the cream felt quite heavy, but after a few days I got a huge spot. This is unusual for me.

Would you recommend the Superskin Moisturiser to your friends?

Yes, but with a caveat. I really don't like the smell! I also found it too heavy to wear in the day, but great at night.


Overall I like both products, but I LOVE the Cleanse and Polish. It smells divine. My skin is brighter, and I look more awake. The cream is possibly a little rich for my skin, but that aside my face is softer.

[Amarjit2008]

I would love to try this product range as my biggest concern is lack of moisture and exposure to the uv rays because of my job. I would like to get help with my pores too. I am definitely concerned about my general skincare

My biggest skin issue are my dark spots! Since i had my 2nd child (who is 11 already) i developed age spots. I trird so many things and nothing seems to work! THey also go darker in sunlight and lighter in winter time

[kateandme]

my biggest issue is not knowing.there is so much advice.so much choice.so many opinions. I never no what my skin type is (too many names dry,snesitive,greasy,all,flaky etc) then too many creams or lotions or to dos an don't they don't run alongside eacother so I just look at the products and think what?do?i?use?if?anything?

[VilootShesCute]

Non tester. Moisturisers that sit on the skin and do not absorb. Makes my face sweat and it feels disgusting. Especially in summer.

[justamoment]

Non-tester. My main facial skincare concern is having quite sensitive/reactive combination skin, prone to occasional spots & blocked pores in the T-zone, but products designed to manage this tend to be too harsh for my (always sensitive and now also 'maturing') skin. I end up using quite gentle creamy cleansers that don't really manage the oil/blocked pores but at least don't make my skin itchy, tight or overdry. Given some of the above feedback, I think I may give these products a go!

[iamEarthymama]

Non-tester

My biggest problem is, well, all of my skin, all over my body!
I have patches of psoriasis which have now appeared on my eyebrows. Even if I deal with the redness and soreness either my eyebrow hairs fall out or go all Denis Healey (old gimmer, me!)

To be precise as to why I would love to try these products; since menopause, the oily T-zone that has plagued me all my life has begun to redden. My skin looks sore and foundation does sit well.
I also have blepharitis; apparently, this can affect the skin too.

I know I will never get my youthful skin back but I would like to be able to have a natural look, with skin that isn't sore and tight.

[calmday]

Non tester here.
My biggest issue is red flaky bits around the sides of my nose and on my chin.

[HmmmHashtag]

non tester

Biggest issue is large pores, particularly on forehead

[daimbardiva]

Non- tester

My biggest facial skin issue is an oiliness around my nose - sometimes it is really shiny!!!

[funkypyjamas]

Non-tester: biggest skin issue is large pores and dry areas on the cheeks.

[TanteJeanne]

My biggest skin problem is dullness. I'm 49, and yes have a few wrinkles, losing a bit of elasticity etc but nothing major. However, my skin just looks dull.
