Got few items yesterday as they were on half price (thanks Bank Hokiday Weekend!). Micellar water, eye and face serums and day moisturiser.

Has anyone used them? Am i going to come up in spots?

I've not used the products you've mentioned but I have the BB cream which I really rate.

I like both the serum and the moisturiser - can't beat them for the price really.

I just bought a toner, a day cream and a night cream and I'm not very impressed.

The creams have a bizarre consistency and pill on my skin. The toner doesn't really do anything at all.

I love the bi-phase eye make-up remover. Almost as good as Clinique, at about a tenth of the price.

Botanics is the range I always repurchase from, consistently good.

I have the oil and used it for the first time last night. It has a strong fragrance, but I have sensitive skin and haven't had any issues so far. Skin feels very soft today, but that also could be because I'm following the Caroline Hirons regime.

I use the cleansing balm and the facial oil, really like both of those. The cream cleansers are quite nice for the price. Don't bother with any of the toners. They don't have enough of any 'active' ingredients to do anything and contain alcohol so no good for hydrating.

I have an eye serum (with purple writing I think there is possibly more than one type?) which is lovely and every couple of weeks I use the clay mask, it is dark khaki green and dries to a hard shell on your face, makes a mess of the sink when you wash it off but leaves my skin nice and clear Smile

DarylDixonsDarlin · 06/05/2015 10:03

Oh and yes I did get the micellar water when I had a voucher, it feels nice but I don't think my skin likes it. I found it a bit sticky Confused has the offer finished now, I'm nearly out of the clay mask?

Hi, thank you for all the replies Smile

I can report I haven't come up in hives/ my under eye eczema patch has not resurfaced.
I have the purple orchid serums (eyes and face) and the brightening 15spf cream. The cream is indeed very runny but otherwise pleasant.

The micellar water is i offensive. Cleans well, especially the eye area.

These days (after pregnancy especially) I'm impressed if a product doesn't make my skin worse Grin
I'm looking at you organic rosewater Hmm
