So is it worth it? Has it helped your skin or just more hyped up BS? Tia

I would never bother spending loads on a cleanser, you're just going to wash it down the sink anyway.

I had a quick look on the website, and it's 70euro for a 100ml bottle of this stuff, which I personally think is extortionate. The packaging looks beautiful which it should for that price. But I'm super sceptical about overpriced skincare in general.

What is it you are expecting this stuff to do? It does have some nice ingredients in it (aloe vera, sweet almond oil, cucumber extract), but nothing that's going to work miracles I'm afraid.

Don’t know, but I had the AB moisturiser and it’s as adequate as anything else in my make up bag (REN, Origins, CT). My view is a cleanser is that it washes down the sink so you don’t need to spend £££. My favourite, however, is the Rodial Pink Diamonds cleansing balm and that IS worth the money.

I didn't absolutely love it - made my face feel a bit dry

@Farmageddon At that price point I fully expect to look like goddess 😂Not gonna lie.. I’m a product junkie, menopausal and fall for far to much lush advertising and claims of fabulous skin. I really just want to go minimal with my skin/hair care.
@similarminimer. That’s interesting. Maybe a good ploy to make you use more of the bloody expensive face cream. I do own the cream, early days so not sure yet.
@Sunscummailfail I will check out at balm, thank you.
Also interested in hair care line (oil) if anyone has tried that also. Thanks for the input.

Much prefer Dr Barbara Sturm - but currently using Paula's choice calm nourishing cream cleanser which is lovely
