    The Cleanse and Polish cleanser with the muslin cloth is very good - and they have a store on Ebay which sells seconds of their stuff, so that's a bit cheaper.

    Have just bought my mum (for her 79th birthday LOL) the Liz Earle skincare kit that was on QVC a month or so ago - I'll report back what she thinks of it all.

    Last year she had the Lulu Time Bomb kit (she asked me to get it for her) and quite liked that - she still won't go anywhere without her makeup on!

    I LOVE Liz Earle products. My whole family use the range and we all have different skin types, so can highly recommend it. I have dry, sensitive skin so i there are a lot of products i dont really like.

    The products i personally use and can recommend are:

    Cleanse and Polish (with muslin cloth) - Fantastic, especially at removing make up!
    Skin Tonic Toner - Lovely smelling and does the job
    Skin Repair Moisturiser - Not too thick or greasy and keeps you moisturised for ages.
    Gentle Exfoliator - Not too harsh on your skin, perfect for sensitive skin.
    Deep Cleanse - This is great to use in the winter when your face feels a bit bleurgh!
    Brightening Treatment - Love this for refreshing your skin
    Superbalm - Must have product. I use this for everything! Lip balm, cuticles etc..

    HTH!
  • Hi!

    I can recommend the Cleanse & Polish too, you can even use it to take eye make up off, I have quite sensitive eyes but it doesnt sting at all. It quite often wins beauty awards in the glossy magazines.

    I've tried quite a few things from the range over the years (former QVC addict :o lol) but would say that the cleanser & the Superbalm are my faves. I am too stingy to buy toner these days but if I did it would probs be the Liz Earle one :rotfl:, it does smell gorgeous, as KK22 says.

    Have to say that their customer care is the best I have come across so far, I have only ordered direct from their own website a handful of times and each time they have sent me a mini size product as a wee freebie along with my order, one time they even sent a full size bottle of the aforementioned toner out of the blue, it made my day! :p I never knew they had an Ebay store though so might be worth checking it out!!

    The cleanser, moisturisers and sun cream are the things i often buy, the other items are nice but i haven't bought them again. Might buy the body wash again, everything smells wonderful, i always buy form the website and they include a generous sized sample.

    I was given cleanse and polish, toner and moisturiser as a gift. I love the cleanse and polish - it makes my skin feel really clean and soft. I've since bought more.

    I also love the toner and don't find it harsh like others I used years ago. But like above I'm too stingy to buy any more of it.

    The moisturiser didn't suit me though. I found it a bit greasy. If they did a trial pack it's worth giving a go. Or just start off with the cleanse and polish. You can get a bottle and 2 muslins from John Lewis for £12.50. http://www.johnlewis.com/230453398/Product.aspx

    I love the Liz Earle range. I'm not too keen on the orange flower products (hand wash/body wash) but I like pretty much EVERYTHING else. I think my favourite products are the Instant Boost Skin Tonic, the Gentle Face Exfoliator and the Brightening Treatment.

    Cleanse & Polish is great, though I think it's as much about the process (cream cleanser/hot cloth) as the formulation of the product, if you see what I mean.

    helping_hubby - about the moisturiser. I have nightmare combination skin which varies from very dry to very oily and I have been having a major acne breakout for the last 3 months (I'm currently on medication for it). I am currently using Skin Repair Light and although it is probably the best moisturiser I have tried for my skin, it still isn't quite right - I find it doesn't sink in properly and if I'm warm from the shower I sweat it straight off again. I mentioned this to a friend, a fellow Liz Earle fan who has similar skin issues to mine, and she said that when she went for a facial at the London shop (yes, she's loaded - LOL) she was advised to try the Superskin moisturiser, dabbed on in tiny quantities. (Well, you'd have to use tiny quantities at that price :rolleyes:) Anyway, I think there might be something in that advice! Her skin is looking fabulous at the moment. I had a sample size pot of Superskin in a pack from QVC a few months back and I used it a few times at night - I think it might be worth my while buying it again, I've just got to get over the mental aversion to spending £30 on a moisturiser :eek:

    (I tried a cheap Avon one that Suki recommended, and though I found it a lovely texture - sort of a cross between Skin Repair and Superskin! - unfortunately it irritated my skin and I had to return it :()

    I treated myself to the two new foot products last month - though I haven't got round to using them yet, they have the most delicious peppermint smell.

  • Marie Claire magazine's current subscription offer is 6 issues for £6 and free Liz Earle skincare (Cleanse & Polish, toner and moisturiser), if you feel like trying it - I believe it's about £30 to buy the skincare on its own so it's worth a go.

    I'm using Cleanse and Polish at the moment and I really like it, it makes my skin feel very clean and is scrubby but without being harsh or tightening. Very good if, like me, your skin is oily but sensitive.

    I love the cleanse and polish :D

    I did try a cheaper brand but it was rubbish and didn't suit my skin.

    I don't think it works out expensive considering the tiny amount you need. I love the smell of the toner but don't buy it any more.
