Hi, I have happily been using Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, currently out of it so using a trial Elemis Rose cleansing balm, this is lovely. Can anyone recommend anything at a more purse friendly level as I will need to get something in the next week or so.

The M&S pure rose cleansing balm is really nice. I’ve also heard good things about the Body Shop camomile one, though I’ve not tried it myself. And the Beauty Pie apricot one is lovely, though I don’t know if you’re a Beauty Pie member.

fitflopqueen · 06/06/2020 15:23

thanks i did just have a look at the M&S one, may just try that.

I like the body shop camomile one. It's in a tin too so eco friendly.

MabelMoo23 · 06/06/2020 20:04

Body shop camomile- definitely. It’s a classic balm

bookish83 · 06/06/2020 20:07

Body shop one as mentioned above

Emma hardie is nice too but a bit expensive I think!

MrMeSeeks · 06/06/2020 20:08

Avon

I really like the Aldi ones, I always return to Liz Earle but the Aldi ones are very nice.

opinionatedfreak · 06/06/2020 20:12

Isn't there a super drug one?

My skin is prone to not liking scented products so I love clinique take the day of balm which is mega-neutral.

frugalkitty · 06/06/2020 22:38

Try QVC for Elemis, I think they've got everything on 3 easy pays at the moment. Or try eBay! I love the Elemis cleansing balms, they're the best I've tried.

nitgel · 06/06/2020 22:41

I have one on ebay for sale Grin i don't get on with the beeswax and it brings me out in a rash but 2nd qvc for Elemis..

frugalkitty · 06/06/2020 22:41

Would you believe, DD has literally just walked into my room and said "where's your Elemis cleansing balm? I can't find it" Grin

I had an Emma Hardie trial size too, used that earlier in year. The Body Shop Chamomile is out of stock, thanks for all the suggestions. I will double check my samples box (does anyone else have a drawer full of unused stuff from Xmas/beauty boxes etc) and likely get the M&S one. I do use Aldi moisturiser daily.

The M&S rose balm is good, also Lush ultrabland too.
Clinique Take the day off;another one worth trying also.

travailtotravel · 06/06/2020 23:03

Elemis all the way. I tried others looking for a dupe, but now just suck it up. The boots botanic was half arsed ok but a bit too waxy.

Everley · 06/06/2020 23:04

I use the Elemis one and love it but have also really liked the Emma Hardie (can’t remember the price though) and Ultrabland from Lush.

goose1964 · 06/06/2020 23:11

Awhile ado I did a product test for a cleansing balm , it was fab but we weren't told the brand. Does anyone recognise it? it was a fairly bright yellow and had a really zingy lemon smell.

ShaniaPayne · 06/06/2020 23:25

Boots No7 cleansing balm is nice.

asparalite · 07/06/2020 10:14

Allbeauty have Elemis cleansing balm with a 20% discount at the moment.

autumnboys · 07/06/2020 10:18

I like the Neals Yard wild rose balm, although it is expensive. Glass jar is good for recycling. Also, Lush Ultrabland, they’ll take the pots back, the Body Shop Camomile is good too. I shall put the M&S one on my list.

AlexChitChatting · 07/06/2020 10:21

Coconut oil!

MrMeSeeks · 08/06/2020 22:14

I use to love coconut oil, i swore by it, but i tried some this week and my face has broke out!
Clearly it did not like this one!

Brillenbar47 · 09/06/2020 06:54

You can get 25 % off the elemis website with mary25

howdidigettobe50something · 09/06/2020 07:16

I also use the Aldi cleanse and polish dupe as a Liz Earl substitute. I stock up with several when they have it in stock... It is so cheap! If I accidentally run out I've also used the superdrug one and boots too and they've also been good.

cheermeupifyoucan · 09/06/2020 09:05

Just plain grape seed oil and a hot cloth.

poppet31 · 09/06/2020 09:13

I love the body shop cleaning balm too and use the Liz earl cleanser as a second cleanse. I tried the no7 balm but it was really greasy and totally broke out my skin.
