Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser

So, we've all used the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanse and Polish by now and we all know it does the job (unless for you it doesn't.. in which case I'm sorry for your loss) but there are a few other very similar products rearing their heads on the market.

As I was shopping for some pre-holiday treats last week I saw this very similar product on Superdrug's shelves and for £5.99 there really was no reason not to buy it!

"Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser with muslin cloth is ideal for removing dirt and make-up whilst providing gentle exfoliation. This will help improve circulation, leaving skin deeply cleansed, soft and radiant. Enriched with naturally sourced Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that will help to shield your skin against environmental damage and premature ageing by combating the harmful effects of free radicals. The rich and creamy formula also contains a skin conditioning multivitamin complex comprising vitamins A, B, F and H, which combined with horse chestnut extract, helps to care for dry skin."

I've used it for just over a week now and I've got to say I really, really like it. It has a similar consistency to the Liz Earle cleanser; creamy and rich just like the description, but it smells very different. The Superdrug cleanser smells a bit like coconut I think but I could be completely off here. It's basically really similar Hawaiian Tropics sun oil in it's smell - yum!
It removed every bit of my make up that I could see, however I didn't use a toner afterwards so I couldn't check completely but I was impressed by how much of my eye make-up was removed.

My only negative point is the quality of the muslin cloth that comes in the box with the cleanser. When compared to the cloth provided with Liz Earle it's sadly not as good quality. This is unsurprising when you think that the Superdrug cleanser is a quarter of the price of the Liz Earle cleanser, but after only a few days of use my cloth had come apart at the seams and begun to fray quite badly.

So, since the only fault with this product is the quality of the cloth I would definitely recommend this product to anyone looking to try a hot cloth cleanser without breaking the bank. What's even more appealing is that Superdrug offer student discount to NUS card holders, yay for higher education!

If you fancy giving it a try you can buy it in store in Superdrug for £5.99 or view their whole Vitamin E range *here*.

Liz Earle Essentials Try-Me Kit

After months of reading about Liz Earle's fantastic skin care range I finally caved and bought the Essentials Try-Me kit. Retailing at just under £25 this little bag contains 4 of the daily essentials for anyone looking to try a new skincare routine.

The little bag itself is very small but it fits in 2 pure muslin cloths, a hot cloth cleanse and polish, instant boost skin tonic, moisturiser and a brightening treatment mask.

I'm absolutely in love with everything in this kit! The cleanse and polish is incredible, after only a week of using it I've noticed any unwanted pigmentation on my skin has gone completely, even my boyfriend noticed which is saying something!
The skin tonic is nice to refresh your skin with after the cleanser. You only need a few drops on some cotton wool and it picks up any left-over residue. Saying that, every time I've followed the cleanser with the tonic I've hardly had a mark on the cotton wool!
The moisturiser is the perfect consistency, it isn't too thick but it replenishes the skin after rubbing away any make up with the muslin cloth.
 Finally, the brightening treatment mask is a very quick working face mask that you wash off after 2 minutes after application. It gives the skin a glow without leaving it feeling tight or dry.

So, overall I am a total Liz Earle fan! I've already repurchased the hot cloth cleanser and tonight I'm sticking the muslin cloth in the wash as it's got a few marks on after this week of using it. I couldn't be happier after switching to this new skincare routine, I've even got my mum hooked on it!
Have you tried Liz Earle??
