    Not a tradtional cleanser, but a soap... "Fresh Farmacy" by Lush http://www.lush.co.uk/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&option=com_virtuemart&product_id=148 - suits me perfectly. I also have jojoba oil (pure) as a moisturiser and another vote here for Simple wipes (only when on offer) to take makeup off and to be gentle!

    After years of trying different cleansers such as clinique, simple, boots etc etc. my two favourites are by Vie at Home who have won awards for their premium skincare - Skin Drink which is a cold cream cleanser you use with damp cotton wool and Vitality Boost which is one that you can wash off and is perfect for combination skin both £8.00 each. Both last ages as you only need a small amount. You can buy online or give them a ring to find your local consultant for a skincare consultation.

    Tips - use damp cotton wool with your cleanser as you use less product.

    Be careful if using wipes as they contain chemicals that strip the skin causing spots and dry patches so you end up spending more money on products to correct the problem.

    Hiya

    Just received some LE for my bday,does everyone who loves it use the moisturiser as well?Wondering if i can use the LE cleanser and toner and a slightly cheaper moisturiser?

    Also, to those who like it-do you use it in the morning as well?I am using a facial wash in the shower-not sure if i need to use it twice a day to get the full effects IYSWIM?

    I wouldnt be using two different products as a cleanser. I use my cleanser at night and in the morning I just use water.

    You can use whatever moisturiser you want as long as it suits your skin


    I used to only be able to wear the LE moisturiser in Light, but since my skin has improved so much I can use just about anything
