Boots No.7 one is good. Am also allergic to C&P but not this.

Fluffycloudland77 · 10/03/2013 08:46

The superdrug own label is meant to be good, it's also BUAV approved for bunny huggers like me.

It might be the eucalyptus oil in it she can't tolerate.

Another vote for Boots no 7

CadiM · 10/03/2013 13:10

I've switched from Liz Earle to Superdrug's Naturally Radiant, and I prefer it (and not just because of the price). I've also tried the Vitamin E but prefer the consistency of this one.

I got eve lom for xmas it is very £ but I have decided to only use it once a week and the rest of the time I use baby lotion with the cloths.

AlisonMoyet · 10/03/2013 16:38

Thanks everyone. I think I'll look at the no 7 one for her

YY boots no 7 . I think The Sanctuary do one, but it's only cheaper if 3 for 2 in Boots

MooMinCow · 10/03/2013 17:05

Boots No7 (especially with fiver off voucher) or Superdrug Naturally Radiant one (currently half price I think). I also think you would get the same effect using any rich cleansing lotion and hot flannel/muslin!

ArcticRoll · 10/03/2013 17:14

Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser-£4.99 at moment-usually 5.99.

hettie · 10/03/2013 17:17

I've tried boots no 7 and superdrug vitamin e.... prefer the no 7 one myself...

GettingObsessive · 10/03/2013 17:22

Another vote for No7 - smells lovely (much nicer than the Sanctuary one) and in a pump thing which is more useful IMHO.

I AM LOVING THE DERMA FLANNEL posh flannel
sorry for shouting but yes its fab I rub in my cleanser or a foaming cleanser in and soak the flannel under a hot tap drape it over my face for a minute, then rub and rinse, its amazing my skin is positively glowing

BagWoman · 10/03/2013 17:55

Unless you boil these flannels or wash on a really hot wash the whole process is very unhygenic.

motherofallmuddles · 10/03/2013 17:56

I like the Sanctuary oil cleaner which I use with the Liz Earle cloths OR ages ago there was a thread about the cold oil cleaning method see here for the method www.theoilcleansingmethod.com/

Marylou2 · 10/03/2013 19:44

Boots No7 one is fab. Huge bottle for less than fiver if you have a voucher. Pump is 200mls so twice the size of cleanse and polish. I used C&P for years but boots is just as good(for me).

Soap & Glory do something similar which is very good. But personally I prefer their Peaches & Clean cleanser - it is amazing

AlisonMoyet · 10/03/2013 20:22

Well it's as unhygienic of rubbing something clean on unbroken skin.

Fluffycloudland77 · 10/03/2013 20:30

I have a fresh muslin twice a day.

iclaudius · 10/03/2013 20:33

Why on earth boil? Odd

libertychick · 10/03/2013 22:14

I was out of C&P recently so used aqueous cream instead and used the muslin cloth to wipe it off - skin looks as good as it did using C&P and it's way, way cheaper. I don't know how well it would work on waterproof mascara etc but for removing light makeup and a general clean it is great.

chocolatespiders · 10/03/2013 22:27

I use the packs of 7 white flannels from Ikea. one for each day and throw in with hot white wash Smile

valiumredhead · 11/03/2013 10:09

Any cleanser and use with a muslin cloth.

pleasethanks · 11/03/2013 10:26

I second the vitamin e superdrug one - LOVE it

hatgirl · 11/03/2013 10:32

ASDA do one in the N Spa range and it smells amazing. I bought it to replace my Liz Earle when it ran out as LE is currently a bit out of my price range. I have really sensitive skin and I was worried the fragrance might set it off but it didn't.
