Liz Earle- worth it?

[gottaloveascamhun]

Thinking of buying the Liz Earle hot cloth polish, toner and moisturiser with a birthday voucher. Any reviews?

I've used it on and off for years but since Avon bought the brand I've found I'm much more prone to being irritated by it. I think it's become more heavily perfumed, and I wouldn't order a large size of anything without trying a sample first. The toner is amazing, I keep it in the fridge in summer and it's bliss but the cleanse & polish and the moisturiser is too much for my sensitive skin. I find Simple just as effective and way cheaper.

My mum raves about it. We literally talk about it every time I see her!!!!

I agree with the previous PP who said cleansers are a waste of money in some ways. I take great care of my skin - use serums, moisturisers and sunblock daily- but cleansers are on and off in minutes and don't actually do anything other than take off make up and dirt.

I think the important thing is to decide what your skin likes- ie wash off cleanser, lotion, cream, balm, micellar water - and then go for something simple and unperfumed.

I live in a hard water area and my skin doesn't like water. I use cheapish cleansers followed by Micellar water or just the water. A treat was the Clinique Balm but I did think £20 for a cleanser was a bit daft.

The organic surge one is affordable. Found it in TK Max for £5.

I used to love it before the company was bought out.
Body shop Camomile cleansing balm is nice.
Eve Lom is an awesome treat.

Body shop = Nestle.

Love Eve Lom but not cheap!

It didnt agree with my oily skin. Ive now converted to temple spa and use no7 hot cloth cleanser now and again.

I hated it. Really horrible pungent smell. Also, my skin isn't sensitive at all. Use AHAs, BHAs and Retinoids daily with no irritation but the LE seemed to leave a burning sensation on my skin. Went straight in the bin.

QVC have a money back policy if you don't like it so that might be your best bet if youve not tried it before. People seem to either love it or hate it

They've changed the formula a fair bit, but it's still my favourite. But just the original. I tried the Superdrug version and it really dried out my skin.

What has happened to this cleanse and polish tryed it years ago and loved it suited my hyper sensitive skin to a T, so went back to it arfter a long break away from it and omg!! My skin hated it was left with sore dry itchy skin with some angry red sore spots loved it first time round had such a calming effect on my poorly skin , the creams dont seem to work for me ierther seem so full of strong fragrance .

I think the fragrance is a problem. I'd recommend buying a reasonable cleanser and moisturiser and splashing on a serum or an oil.

I used to love it but now they've changed the formula it's horrible.

I use the Naturally Radiant stuff from Superdrug or the camomile oil or balm from TBS.

No 7 hot cloth cleanser is lovely.
I also love Avene gentle cream cleanser, very soothing and non-drying.
Both cheaper than LE.
I think you can use any cream or oil cleanser really, it doesn't have to be expensive.

I feel bit heart broken and let down by it now cause i could never and still cant find anything to truely match the original L E cleanser, so i think i will go back to my gentle evene cleanser which is quite soothing and none irrating for me oh well end of an era where LE is concerned for me , but was good at the time .

Yes dame its dreadfull .
