I used it a while back, I'm not really sure why I stopped using it & am considering starting back up. I have dreadful skin Sad.

I do! It's one of the few things my skin doesn't react badly to. Although some of their moisturisers are a bit too heavy.

I do, the duo + works wonders for me. When I first started using it, I had lots of little hard spots all work their way out from around my jawline. It was like the cream drew them all out.

Depends on the product - the facewash gave me horrible breakouts but the tinted moisturiser is the one thing in my skincare routine which never changes, I love it!

Yes! In twenty odd years it's the only thing I've ever used that has kept my dry skin at bay and not given me spots.

I've tried everything from blue pot Nivea to Creme D'Mer. Confused

That's good, thanks all - so ideally I want a face wash & a moisturiser. Does anyone use their toner? Is that any good?

Or is there any must buys?

My ds uses it

Avoid the zinc spray toner in the blue can. It's rubbish.

BeeFarseer - I thought that about the zinc spray toner when I first got it, but then I started spraying it into my palm and rubbing it into my face rather than just misting my face with it. Suddenly it started working really well to reduce blemishes etc - I hardly ever get spots now, and that's the only thing in my routine that has changed! Might be worth a try if you still have the can?

OP - I use LRP Toleraine cream cleanser and it's just about the only one that my skin will tolerate, just changing to that helped my spot-prone skin massively.

For moisturiser I actually use a L'Oreal Revitalift one (the night cream masque at night, the day cream in the pump bottle during the day) as my skin is very picky about moisturisers and I already knew those worked for me before I tried LRP.

I do recommend the salt/zinc toner in the blue can if you haven't already tried it - just spray a little into your hand, rub it in well and leave overnight. Works brilliantly for me!

I do! Doesn't work for my daughter though.

Tinks15 · 17/09/2017 19:39

I've tried the Toleraine cleanser if anything I found it has broke me out more Hmm. I just desperately need to find a brand that works & suits my skin!

I've tried the duo + a few years ago now after I kept reading recommendations in beauty magazines. It did nothing for me unfortunately.

Elledouble · 17/09/2017 19:44

I think it's alright - I buy it when it's reduced in Lloyds Pharmacy. I've yet to find something that completely solves my problem skin though.

It's great for blemishes, gets rid of red marks really well
