Ive been converted to Liz Earles C+P, toner and moisturiser, I love the superskin concentrate and use this before bed, its aromatherapy is divine. Been using it for a month and my skin is feeling better, but I dont think I'll ever be able to afford this on an ongoing basis which is a real shame. I received a sample of the C+P in January and I still dont know where it came from, I cant remember applying for it, but I liked it.
Has anyone tried the castor/olive oil mix mentioned on this thread? Whats the verdict?

I'm a LE fan. I got a 10ml bottle of the superskin concentrate, I LOVE the smell.
I only use it at night, but my skin has not been great since I started using it. I think I will have to go back to the plain old skin repair at night.
The superskin concentrate is nearly gone anyway. I kept using it to persever with it, but its not for me, shame as it smells so good:mad: , but may be a blessing as its expensive:rolleyes:

I remember Liz saying on QVC once that they were working on a haircare range.

I have been using liz for a couple of years now. I am at 'that' age where I need all the help I can get!!

I have tried Clinique but it ripped my face to bits. Left it dry and flakey. Used to use Olay face wash but it gave me spots.

I love the toner - I wish they would make a perfume that smells as good!

I use the skin repair light as the one for normal skin is far too heavy for me.

Quick question:

Many people have said that when you buy by phone/mail/online from Liz Earle, you always get a free sample product, sometimes a full-size one.

I have been considering buying from her London shop in person, to save on postage. Has anybody shopped there, and do they do the same thing as regards giving out extra freebies? I'm thinking if they don't, it might be better value just to shop online and pay postage...

I've bought from the LE shop on the Isle of Wight and got a free sample sized gift with my purchase. They give you a little envelope with something in, so you don't get to choose or see what it is so it's a nice surprise! No idea if other stores do this, or indeed if my experience is typical.

I sometimes go to the shop just off of Sloane Square and they let you choose what freebie you get.

Thanks - especially you, angel, for the tip-off on the London shop, which is exactly what I needed to know :A

Now I'm worrying! What if you go there and get nothing? I'll feel awful.

I've just remembered that they also give you a card that gets stamped and if I remember rightly when it's full you get a free something big!

Fact is all these skin products have the same base. Anyone watch the Apprentice bozos making beauty products? Think Liz Earle's products are any different? Wanna know why you feel it's better than other products? Cos you've invested so much cash and faith in it. Wanna feel poorer for no reason and gullible? 'Course not, so instead you 'notice' a difference.

All of which demands an answer to the question "why does it cost so much?" Why, marketing of course! That and a little "stella artois" magic ("reassuringly expensive").

20 years ago most blokes believed they had good skin and didn't bother with skincare. Now the city is full of metrosexuals worringy about rashes, despite shelling out a fortune on beauty regimes. Give it another 10 years and the majority of males will be just as paranoid about their looks as women, and equally brainwashed by the marketing armies of companies like Liz Earle.
