Biore Pore Perfect Daily Deep Pore Cleansing Wipes
Biore Pore Perfect Wipes
Pre-moistened wipes are becoming so popular, but we often need convincing that they’ll do just as good a job as our cleansers and facial washes.
From these wipes we were looking for great cleansing and gentle exfoliation… initially we thought the wipes would be too astringent as it took a couple of days for skin to balance when using them, skin was oily initially, but after 2-3 days skin really started to glow and look fresh and healthy.
After a week there was a big difference, spots and blemishes were disappearing, blackheads hugely reduced and skin looked clearer and more radiant.
After each use skin is left refreshed and clean, no need for toner, but do ensure you follow with a moisturiser to avoid dryness.
Avoid the eyes with these – they will remove other make-up fantastically well, but unfortunately they are too harsh around the eyes.
The wipes themselves are strong enough and moist enough to only need one per application.
Overall an excellent choice for teenagers and those who suffer with clogged pores and dull or oily skin.
Great price too – £3.99 for a pack of 25.

Nude Skincare Cleansing Facial Oil
While we’re used to cleansing creams, lotions and gels, a cleansing oil was something new to us… there are many available, but we’d never taken the plunge and given one a try.
The Nude skincare range is smart and sleek – the packaging looks great in any bathroom cabinet – so would the product inside do the job?
We were pleasantly surprised, not only by the scent of the product which is rich and indulgent, but also by the results…
Intended for normal to dry skins, we also tested on combination skin – all our testers loved this – most reported improved skintone and clarity of skin (blemishes disappearing) within 3-4 days and all found improvement within a week. Improvements also included a reduction in fine fines and crepiness.
If an oil scares you a bit, don’t worry – although you massage the product straight into the skin, adding a little water transforms it to a milk which then rinses off without any oil being left on the skin.
Not all our testers were keen on the scent, our man felt it was a bit girly for him, though loved the results, and those who are not keen on exotic, sensual scents didn’t enjoy the scent as much as the others. Those who love sensual frangrances – such as the scent of the Elemis Exotic Collection – will love this and will find it great for a facial as well as everyday use.

Arbonne Intelligence Not-So-Basic(s) Daily Cleanser
The Arbonne Daily Cleanser is a foaming cleansing wash for use morning and night.
Add a little water to give a gentle creamy foam – it feels light and smooth on the face and cleanses very well without harsh stripping of the skin. Skin feels soft and smooth afterwards, but do follow with a moisturiser as it did leave skin feeling a little taut and on the dry side.
What impressed us most of all was the reduction in blackheads after just a couple of days’ use – a completely unexpected result, but a great one!!
A good all-round cleanser for all ages which has true benefits, especially for teenage skin.
Price: £13 for 127ml tube.

Gatineau Floracil Gentle Cleansing Lotion (Eye Make-up Remover)
A very popular eye make-up remover, especially for contact lens wearers, those with sensitive eyes and those who wear a lot of make-up.
Non-oily, so leaves the eye area refreshed and well cleansed without stickiness or greasiness. Most mascaras and eye colours are removed quickly and without trace. Some of the more stubborn waterproof mascaras take a little longer to remove, but if you gentle press the cotton wool pads soaked in Floracil over your eyes and wait a minute or so not only will you remove your mascara, but you’ll have fresh-feeling eyes!
Gatineau Floracil is available from:
Beauty Expert
QVC
SalonSkincare

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser
This product has won so many awards, including InStyle Best Beauty Buys 2007, Woman & Home Best of Beauty Reader Awards 2007 and Natural Health Beauty Awards 2007.
Suitable for all ages and skin types, Cleanse & Polish is a soothing and purifying cream that is removed using a muslin cloth. As simple as a foaming cleanser, it contains cocoa butter, almond milk*, rosemary and eucalyptus for a super cleansing and exfoliating treatment that can be used daily. Leaves skin so soft, smooth and radiant.
Our testers all found this fabulous! Initially some testers with oily and blemish-prone skin found that it caused breakouts, but by sticking with it after 3-4 weeks they found their skin was revitalised and in much better condition.
Now available in packaging for men too under the Naturally Active Skincare branding. It’s great for shaving as well as cleansing and our male testers have found this much better than traditional shaving foams and gels. Go on guys – give it a go, then us girls can pinch your products too!
Available from Liz Earle and QVC
* Our review was written before the most recent formula, which no longer contains almond milk.
