I LOVE this cleanser!! Have been using for about a month now and my skin has definitely improved. It isn't an overnight magic trick but I think gradually, with regular use, this product definitely improves overall complexion & I've had no problems with breakouts since using this. I don't really use it as a makeup remover so can't comment on that, will use a facewipe or two first particularly for eye makeup and then use this last thing before bed. It smells lovely when applying. I soak the cloth in boiling water from the kettle with a dash of cold so it doesn't burn and then clean off - gives you a great fresh feeling and doesn't leave skin feeling tight after, just smooth and soft. The packaging is nice too and I love that it comes with a muslim cloth included. Great product for the price, especially if you get it in the 3 for 2 in Boots! continued >>

I have combination skin at its worst (super dry cheeks, super oily t-zone with raging blackheads). Used to only find that L'Occitane's Red Rice cleanser took care of the oil with Almond Apple Velvet Concentrate for the dryness on the rest of my face. However, I've had a recent psoriasis outbreak over my nose, which the Red Rice cleanser left horribly dry and raw.
Enter Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser. I picked it up based on good reviews, have used it for around 2 weeks now, twice a day. It's unbelievable - my blackheads are almost invisible, and sometimes I don't even need to moisturise my cheeks for the day - can just put primer straight on top. How did this product escape my knowledge for so long? I couldn't recommend it more. Hint: do use a good amount, it'll work better than being stingy.

I have to say this is one of my new HG products, and I only have about 2 or 3 which I consider to be 'HG' as I am hard to impress and I rarely ever re-purchase a product unless I think its fantastic. This is one of those products, its such a great way to cleanse and feels amazing. I use this as my night time cleanser, after removing the majority of my make-up and eye make-up with face wipes. This claims to 'melt away make-up' but I always remove my make-up before cleansing, doesn't make sense to cleanse with a full face of slap.
I rub a fair amount of this into my face concentrating on my forehead, nose and chin and massage it in for atleast 30 seconds and then I leave it for a minute or 2 then soak a muslin cloth in very hot water and ring it out then lay it over my face before wiping the cleanser off. Usually there's a tiny bit of make-up on the cloth from where I haven't got it all off with my wipes. Skin feels so soft after using this that I don't need to moisturise at night, I just use this, then apply S&G Dr Spot on the couple of spots I get and thats it. My skin in general has become clearer since using s&g products, I love them!
I have a back-up tube of this because I love it so much! continued >>

Bought this when I ran out of my usual BB cleansing oil - and very pleasantly surprised by it. Has a similarity in smell to BB as both smell of lavender - which may evoke "old lady" associations with some.
I take my eye make up off separatly, then use this for the rest of my face, let it sit while I do my teeth and take it off with a hot wash cloth.
So far I've never been left with make up on my face (there's barely any on the cloth even).
I alternate this with either the Fab Pore mask or the No Clogs Allowed self-heating scrub (which I use when I shower) - my skin has never looked better.
The essential oils could possibly cause problems in folk with very sensitive skin - saying that I have an inclination towards eczema and I've been absolutely fine with this.
Will repurchase until they stop making it.

I read quite a lot of reviews of hot cloth cleansers and decided this seemed to be the best value for money one in my budget! I used it for a week and saw no improvement, and ended up having to take my eye make up off with an additional cloth - I used it exactly as described, even left it on for longer for one or two days, but it didn't remove every smudge of make up at all!
But worst of all - the smell. I don't know if my product is an especially bad whiffing one, but I can't abide by the smell, it's so overpowering and when it's on your face you really can't avoid it! Between the smell and the lack of effectiveness, I've given this away to a friend - who also hates the smell!! It's a very strong lavender, which I like in light smells but this is very heady.
The cloth is good though - I've been using that with Cetaphil :-)

I'm going through a bit of a Soap and Glory phase, and having been disappointed by the Liz Earle Hot Cloth cleanser, thought I'd try this one. I was so excited at first, it seemed to leave my skin so soft and I saw definite improvement in my pores. And then I broke out. Horrifically. After about two weeks. It was awful, this product is just no good for even slightly sensitive skin. I'm still dealing with the scarring from the breakout now, weeks later.

HG!!!
I have always hated cleansing. I tried so many wash-off cleansers thinking that was the way to clean skin, but ended up with nothing but stinging eyes, lingering mascara, tight skin, and water all over the bathroom.
Anywhooo... I love the soap & glory range but have never tried this. I was looking for something to replace my unemployment-induced buy of garnier soft essentials range that gave me a red, bumpy, itchy face. The 3 for 2 in boots coincided with my first payday at my new job so after reading rave reviews on here about various soap & glory products, I set off for boots, debit card in hand (always dangerous!).
I have been using this for 2 days and my cheap, crappy product, itchy skin issue has gone! My skin is perfect again :D The cleanser is easy to apply to damp skin and gets rid of all my makeup (I usually use quite lightweight makeup, so like other reviewers have said, you may want to use a separate product first depending on your preferences). It smells beautiful. It doesn't sting my eyes. It leaves my skin feeling soft, smooth, plumped out even! I massage the cleanser in well so that gives my skin a beautiful glow. I have no idea how, but it was still like that when I woke up the next morning, and continues to look that way now. I'm thrilled! I boil the kettle, and pour the water in a little dish with a bit of cold water so it's not scorching to soak the cloth in. Massage the cleanser in (big bonus - you don't need much, I think this will last well), leave it on for a minute (perfect time for teeth cleaning) then take the hot cloth, squeeze the water out, then put it on so it's covering my entire face. If it's hot enough, it feels like the open-pore feeling you get from a sauna. Beautiful. Then I scrub off the cleanser, which is a great exfoliant, then wash off any residue with cold water to close my pores. I follow with make yourself youthful serum and catch a wrinkle cream, which are both awesome, I'll review those when I've been using them a bit longer. Thank god for boots 3 for 2, these products are amazing! I can't see myself ever using another cleanser, except maybe one of those 2 toned blue eye makeup removers I like so much (lancome bi-facils I think? Boots no 7 do a similar one) as I'm partial to the smoky eyes look quite often and may need the separate product for that... Otherwise, £25 for 3 products that make me look and feel like I've just had a facial twice a day? More than worth the money! Highly, highly recommended :) continued >>

I discovered this cleanser about a year ago as I have dry/sensitive skin which does break out easily if I don't look after it and I was advised to stop using any foaming cleansers on my face. Having been impressed with other Soap & Glory products, I purchased this and I was very impressed... However, last Christmas I was given a Liz Earle set and I haven't looked back! So unfortunately, whilst this is a decent cleanser, it really isn't as good as Liz Earle, in my opinion. However, I do always keep a tube of this to hand because Liz Earle isn't available on the high street and I do sometimes run out before I've ordered from her website, so this is a fab cleanser to keep as a back-up because it's still a million times better than any other cleanser available on the high street! Also, I'm not sure if they've changed the packaging recently, but mine has a screw-top lid which is very annoying! Hopefully they have now changed it to a flip-top lid as it can be difficult to use with wet hands in the shower! Overall, a decent cleanser and if your budget really can't stretch to Liz Earle (it's about twice the price, plus P&P) then I would highly recommend it as an excellent alternative. continued >>

Hot cloth cleansing - try it it is far superior to anything else providing thorough cleaning with gentle exfoliation all in one. This hot cloth cleanser is exellent. It gives Liz Earle a run for her money.I think it is equally as good. I find it gentle enough to remove eye make up too.
The muslin cloth provided is adequate for a few uses but must be washed thoroughly between use. If you use fabric conditioner then it will reduce the efficacy of the cloth. I would recommend purchasing a LOT of cloths, separating them from the main washing and wash all the cloths together at high temperature. This will reduce to absolute minimum the risk of bacterial transferrence.
I will pass on a tip. I use microfibre cloths which are meant to be used for cleaning your home. I bought them in bulk from a supermarket at a fraction of the price of muslin cloths and they work soooo well.
I have purchased a so called dermabrasion cloth in the past only to find that the fibres were identical to microfibre cleaning cloths.

I had to purchase Soap and Glory from the UK as i cant find it in Australia. However it was well worth the search. This is a fantastic product which left my skin feeling and looking great. I have had a couple of break outs but i figure it is just bringing out all the gunk from in my pores. Very happy overall.

Used it for few weeks..first few days was ok..but then it gave me breakouts,which is a shame cause i loved the smell and the feelign afterwards..is just too much parfume in for people with sensitive skin

Wow wow wow! I had wanted to try the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish but I wanted to try another hot cloth cleanser before splashing out, now it seems I won't need to because I'm in love with this product. The packaging it amazing, it's shiny and very appealing. I use this after taking the bulk of my makeup off with a makeup wipe (for the excess) and a Clarins cream cleanser. I then use this product and it keeps my face oil free yet soft and plump and thoroughly cleansed without overdrying. You have to take a 'splurge' and rub it into your face for one minute then use the muslin (included) cloth soaked in hot water to remove it. HG cleanser I think!

I love this cleanser. It is a great alternative to Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish, as it's much more widely available and cheaper too. Each tube also comes with a muslin cloth, which I like.
I apply this cleanser to a dry face, give it a good massage for 30-60secs, and then leave on while I brush my teeth. Then I soak the muslin cloth in hot water and wipe it off. It takes off every trace of foundation (though I do use a separate eye make-up remover, personal preference). Skin is left soft, clean, and not oily or tight.
My skin has improved since I started using this product, and I have repurchased a few times now. Not quite HG (Eve Lom is that for me) but in this price range, my definite favourite. continued >>

***EDIT: I'm pretty sure this is giving me spots, very disappointing as it otherwise left my skin smooth and supple.***
Until recently, I was only vaguely aware of Soap&Glory and assumed it was a novelty brand because of the packaging - the kind of products that were convenient Christmas giftsets but nothing more. Then I read some reviews and realised there was a bit of a cult following!
Based on lots of excellent reviews, I decided to buy this cleanser seeing as the famous Liz Earle hot cloth cleanser irritated my sensitive skin (the culprit, in my opinion, being the eucalyptus oil, which doesn't seem appropriate in cosmetics but anyway, I digress). Thankfully, the Fab Pore didn't irritate my skin at all, its thick, creamy consistency makes massaging it in a joy rather than a chore and it wipes away and rinses off easily with the accompanying muslin cloth. I can't comment on its effectiveness as a make-up remover though.
Within a few weeks I noticed a massive improvement in the pores around my nose and my skin feels very clean and smooth and looks clearer. The large pores and blackheads on my nose, alas, are here to stay and I accept that! I only use this at night however, because my combination skin can get a bit greasy if I use it in the morning. continued >>

I think Soap and Glory products, and I dont get along :(
I really wanted to like this products, I was expecting so much from it!
But I had a HORRIBLE breakout after using this, and I rarely breakout (maybe once a year)
I honestly think my Clean and Clear cream facial wash works MUCH better and is FAR cheaper.

Could I ask; those who had success with this cleanser do you dampen your face prior to applying the product?? It seems to clog my pores :(

A really good cleanser ! Leaves skin smooth , soft & moisturized . Did not feel tight and dry as usually after cleasing parts of my face get so dry & uncomfortable I'm itching to moisturise asap but not this time! Definitely saw an I'm provement in skin tone and texture within one weeks use , price is not expensive when compared to other HE products that advertise to do the sane but don't ! Highly recommended! Previously was using Dermalogica daily microfoliant which is absolutely brilliant but costs over three times as much as this ! continued >>

I've only used this once, but I thought it was important to review it nonetheless.
I had a very bad reaction to this on my first use. I didn't wash my makeup off first or anything, but this doesn't state that you should nor does it state you should wet your face.
I applied this to my dry face and rubbed on for a full minute and then waited another minute. I then soaked the muslin cloth with very warm but not quite hot water. I use it to wipe off the cream, immediately I noticed that I had lots of red splotches on my face and afterwards when tweezing my eyebrows I noticed that there were very mild clogging in places that I never get clogged pores!
I think I must be allergic to something in this or that the cocoa butter has clogged my pores. As some people have pointed out this formula is quite similar to Liz Earle's cleanser, might I suggest you guys look at those reviews too for a more info before purchase!

Eugh.
Bought this looking for a cheaper alternative to the fabulous Liz Earle version. At first I loved it. The squeezy tube means you can get every last drop of product out, it has a pleasant lavender scent, nice creamy consistancy and it took all my eye makeup off.
I used it for a couple of weeks, then started breaking out. I also got a couple of those horrible under skin spots.
In desperation I tried my bliss toner and discovered the problem. It's not the cleanser that is making me break out. The cotton ball came away full of foundation. While the cleanser makes my face look clean, its not taking off all my makeup, so I've spent 2 weeks sleeping with clogged pores.
It's going in the bin.

I had heard amazing things about Liz Earle's Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser but I always thought it was a bit too expensive and it's a pain I can only get Liz Earle online so I have to pay shipping on top of that. One day doing some research I found a blog post about Soap & Glory's The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser saying it contained almost the same ingredients as Liz Earle but it was only £9! I went to my local Boots and started using it that same day and I haven't looked back. I'm on my second tube! This cleanser does remove everything and has helped to clear my spots and flaky areas and my skin has never looked better. It's also softened a bit the fine lines on my forehead. The muslin cloth that comes with it is a little flimsy but you can always get muslin cloths somewhere else. I think is an amazing product for the price. continued >>

This cleanser is amazing. I can't remember the last time my skin felt this soft. It's stopped me from breaking out and has made existing spots heal faster. Pricewise it'd be one of the more expensive cleansers you can get from boots not including luxury brands, but for the quality of the product and the results, I'd happily pay double or triple for it!!
