First of all, I have to apologise for being such an awful blogger! I've had a few posts lined up for ages, I just never find the time to take photographs in natural light, so for this post I've had to resort to using my bedroom light, which I despise. It just turns everything so orange! Yuk. I felt I had to write this review though as I feel it could benefit other people and maybe I'd hear how others have fared with these purchases.
I picked these cheap-as-chips products up the other week when I was heading up to my fiance's place, as I'd forgotten my usual Garnier cleanser - doh!Initially I went into Superdrug looking for the Amie range, which I've read good things about, but it didn't have them so I bought these two pretties instead (they were on offer too - savvy shopping or what?) and d'you know what...I really like them!
I've been using the Garnier grape water cleanser for years but this cleanser may have won me over...I absolutely love it! It removes even the most stubborn eye make-up, whereas the Garnier one still left traces of mascara on my lashes. All I have to do is squeeze a blob of this product into my hand and massage it into my face for a bit, then rinse and voila, make-up all gone! The face wash is nothing special, I tend to use it in the mornings and maybe after using the cleanser if I feel like giving my skin a proper clean. The only negative is that it occasionally leaves my skin feeling a bit taut and warm, so moisturiser would be recommended afterwards for dry skin. Both products have a pleasant smell that doesn't linger, and I feel that they may be good for sensitive skin as I have had no adverse reactions. Also Vitamin E is meant to be good for healing the skin, and I have to say I've had no breakouts from using these products, in fact if anything they have reduced my spots which is always a good thing!
I give the cleanser 10/10 and the face 9/10 simply because it's not really anything to write home about, I don't dislike it but it's not special in any way! Both products, and indeed anything in that range are really good value for money, so I'd definitely recommend them, and I may even try out some other products for good measure!
Face wash - £1.99
Cleanser - £2.49
Both available from Superdrug.
