I'm a real convert to Neal's Yard as I feel strongly about the amount of chemicals in cosmetics and also like that they are a family run, UK company. I don't use everything in their range but incorporate as much as I can afford. It mixes well with other skin care ranges.
newstart2010, your spots sound hormonal so you probably should look into taking some Evening Primrose supplements. Worth having a chat with someone in a health food shop. Other obvious things are lots of water and green veg
With regard to skin care, the white tea enriching mask is really good for breakouts I find but there's also a lovely skin gel called Clarifying Mahonia that has antibacterial properties and helps to encourage a clearer and fresher complexion. You would put a tiny amount on like a serum under your moisturiser.
(ATM, there's an offer that if you spend £25 on products, you can buy the Clarifying Mahonia gel for just £7 (normally £14.50). This is just through the home sellers as opposed to the shops)
Unfortunately, NY don't sell sample kits but home sellers like me and the stores can provide samples of some items. For instance, I could provide a sample of two of our cream cleansers - chamomile (for normal skin) and calendula (dry and sensitive). I love them both as I like a creamy cleanser. I take them off with a muslin cloth and warm water.
Moisturiser-wise, there's a lovely light one in the Rose range, which is for normal skin. It's a pump lotion - so not too heavy. I don't have any of it in my kit but I do have a sample of the Rose and Mallow which is creamier but does sink in well to leave the skin matt.
Happy to post through a couple of samples for you to try. All the home sellers have their own mini website then so if you want to buy anything from me, I can give you the address for that site but obviously no obligation at all. The samples cost very little for me.
Any more questions, please ask...I'm slow to reply as 3 DC's seem to have a radar to tell them when I log on! But I always check once a day x
