Love Liz's Deep Cleanser

I have a very beauty-savvy friend who often surprises me with beauty "gifts" for no particular reason other than that they work effectively. She never disappoints; I never know if I'll receive a cosmetic, a cleansing product, or an item to enhance my hair, but they are always extraordinary. One of her best choices ever arrived last year--Liz Earle's "Clean and Polish™" Hot Cloth Cleanser. It ...read morewas unlike anything I had ever used before, but I credit it for keeping my skin ultra-clean and baby soft. I have repurchased this many times. This plant-based cleanser works in two phases. Phase I: This thick, rich, and creamy product removes all traces of makeup, even stubborn waterproof eye makeup (all without mineral oil as an ingredient). The second phase is "polishing." You use the pure muslin cloth which comes with the set to remove the cream. The muslin, by its very texture, performs as an exfoliator, sloughing off dead skin cells and leaving you with an immediately more radiant, clear, smooth complexion. The ingredients? Liz Earle incorporates beeswax, eucalyptus essential oil, glycerin, hops extract, D-panthenol (also known as pro-Vitamin B5), cocoa seed butter, citric acid, and rosemary and chamomile essential oil extracts. I was thrilled by this but uneasy at first as to just what to do with it. I generally gravitate toward cleansers which lather. I learned how to use it: You massage one to two pumps of this lush cream onto a dry face and neck twice daily. Rinse the muslin cloth in hand-hot water and squeeze out. Gently but thoroughly wipe off the cream (for obvious reasons, I like to use upward, circular motions, being sure to remove all of it but never tugging on skin). Keep the cloth hot until all of the cleanser has dissolved. Then splash face with cool water to seal pores. This is not just for those with dry skin; it is for any woman (or man) who wants to cleanse deeply and well and reap the benefits of a beautiful complexion. I liked the muslin cloth so much that I ordered several more from Liz Earle's site and keep them handy and clean in my linen closet. It is an experience to savor!

Multitasking cleanser

I have been using this cleanser for quite some time now. It is great for when you want a quick cleanse/exfoliation. Working wonderfully as a makeup remover, you apply this cream to your dry face. You can even use this to remove eye makeup. Once it's all over your face (and eyes) you wet your muslin cloth (each cleanser comes with a large muslin cloth. Extra cloths can be purchased in packs) and us...read moree that to both remove the cleanser and gently exfoliate your face. Instructions say there is no need to rinse, but I always rinse and find it necessary. This doesn't sting my eyes or face in any way, leaves my skin feeling clean, but not overly dry and that muslin cloth is so effective at sloughing off dead skin that seems to stick around even after traditional cleansing. This product is not tested on animals and contains no animal ingredients which is a great plus.

Review subject

Wow. I have to say how amazed and pleasantly surprised I was when I received a sample + muslin cloth of this Liz Earle Cleanser. You actually use the creamy cleanser directly onto your dry face, and then rinse it off with the muslin cloth with hot water (finish with a splash of cold.) It leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft, and supple!! It has even given my skin a type of glow. I have very dry ski...read moren, and this has helped me so much that I do not have to pile on moisturizer anymore. The consiticy of the Liz Earle Cleanser it completely creamy, and very delicate texture. It glides across your skin. There is a very heavy smell of rosemary when you apply it, and it totally wakes you up in the morning. I really really like the smell, and it’s great because the smell doesn’t linger all day. It doesn’t interfere with any other smells, you just enjoy the smell as you wash your face. The item is very expensive for a face wash, but it is totally worth the money. The muslin cloth allows your skin to be exfoliated daily without scratching or irritating the skin. I feel like this is preventing any fine lines! Try this !!! !

An amazing experience.

This cleanser is the finest cream cleanser I have ever used. It smells strongly of plant extracts so if you have a sensitive nose, I don't know if you will care for it. The scent though is so pleasant and soothing and I feel clean from the cleanser after rinsing. Gentle enough for eyes and it's dissolving some of my blackheads. For the quality, the price is right. Great packaging, one pump is one use, perfectly measured. Way to go Liz!

Amazing Cleanser

It starts out like a pretty grainy scrub, that you work between your hands, which it then melts into a foamy lather, that rinses clean.

Best Face Wash for Sensitive Skin

I received a sample of this product and was instantly hooked. Makeup (face and eye) removal is so easy, and when I use it in the mornings on my bare face it feels so clean and smooth. My skin is really sensitive, and when I used to use a washcloth with warm water to wash my face, my face would get really red. When I use the Liz Earle cloths, my skin doesn't get red or irritated. It just gets clean...read more! This product has also helped with my mild acne, probably because the ingredients are organic and all natural. The only downside to this product is the price, but one bottle lasts so long that it's worth it. I will be purchasing this for a long time! Way to go Liz Earle!

Best cleanser I've ever used

The formula really balances out my sensitive skin. I am no longer dry and patchy, but it's also not a greasy formula.

Great but read below for some tips for oily/acne prone skin..

I love this product- it makes my skin feel so clean and my face literally glows. BUT- I am so oily and acne prone, and this is a cream cleanser so after a few days of day & night use, my skin started to break out. I cut back to using this only in the morning and my normal Mary Kay cleanser at night or vice versa. If I use Liz Earle in the evening, I follow it with a toner.
