Has a jelly consistency (most likely because Aloe Vera is the 4th ingredient). Foams well, gets skin really clean but not too stripped. Helps remove makeup, dirt etc. I bought this at an offer price of £2 which is fantastic in my opinion for a natural/organic product. Its normal retail price is above £5 which is OK for 150ml (5.1f.oz). Its a really nice product, it doesn't dry out my skin or cause me a rash. Face washes can dry me out or cause some other type of grievance (e.g. a rash) but this product keeps my skin balanced. It lasts a long time. Its a real inoffensive product, I think it can work for all skin types (sensitive/oily etc.). When I run out of cleansers I would purchase this again. I recommend it to anyone tired of harsh face cleansers who is looking for something which is gentle but effective. Its certified by eco-cert, so not only would you be helping the environment but also your skin. Great!!

I love this stuff - both the facial wash and the conditioning cleansing lotion. Both products are so gentle, yet they do a great job of removing heavy makeup (the lotion) and refreshing my skin (the wash).

The facial wash is an aloe vera-rich gel formulation which foams lightly and rinses easily; the cleansing lotion 'loosens' into a light milk on being smoothed into the skin and dissolves full makeup including mascara without irritating skin or eyes.

I've been using the facial wash as my daily a.m. cleanser. My skin never feels taut or stressed after it - moisturiser then makeup just glide on top effortlessly.

Then I double cleanse in the evening. I start by massaging the lotion over face, neck and decollete, then remove it with a Liz Earle muslin cloth soaked in hot water. (I'd actually give the lotion a 4/5 rating because the texture is a little thinner/runnier than I'd like - unlike creamy 5/5 cleansers like Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish and Elemis Pro-Radiance cleanser).

I follow this with a tiny dab of face wash emulsified with warm water in my palm, smoothed onto my face and splashed off. My skin is left totally clean, but soft and supple.

I don't buy toners, exfoliating masks/lotions, primers, concealers or any other 'extras' any more; I don't feel my skin needs them.
I can't say that this is because these products are so great - it's probably more likely because I'm keeping everything really simple (simple, minimal ingredient products and a simple routine).

I don't have easy-to-please, co-operative skin by any means - my cheeks are normal (but can run to sensitive if I'm not careful with my product selection), and my T-zone is prone to oiliness. But these products are really good at leaving my skin balanced, comfortable, flawless and smooth.

Also contributing to my love of these products is the fact that they are made predominantly from natural and organic ingredients, yet are affordable (£5ish from Superdrug and Holland&Barrett in the UK.)

I got interested in this line after Lisa Eldridge, the makeup artist mentioned the Conditioning Cleansing Lotion in her tutorial. I purchased both the lotion and the cleanser and both are great.

At 5 pounds you get 150 of the product. The gel cleanser isn't excessively foamy, is gentle and effective. Works brilliantly on waterproof makeup and doesn't irritate eyes! It feels gently and moisturizing during use and once it's rinsed off you're left with squeaky clean skin!

I have combination, acne prone skin but I hate heavily medicated washed as they can be drying and seem to exacerbate the problem. This one, works a treat. Give it a try!

This a lovely, good and almost all natural product for a great price.

Its 150 ml for £4.99 and I have only seen it in Superdrug and not Boots(although I think you can buy it directly from the companie's website too)

This is from the website:

The Aloe Vera is sourced in the Dominican Republic and the Sweet Almond Oil from Spain.

THE REVIEW:
Now, I think given that the ingredients are mostly natural and organic this item is sold for a really good affordable price. This is what attracted me to it in the first place, I would much rather use natural products over lots of chemicals!

The wash is gentle but effective, washing my face once with this removes much of my make up (MAC Pro Longwear foundation), a 2nd round (using less product) gets rid of all of it and really leaves my face fresh and clean).

Doesnt leave my face tight or aggrevate any acne or blemishes, in fact it feels soft and plump. Really nice.

You only need a small amount for it to foam up nicely and it doesnt contain in any sodium laureth sulphate which seems to be in everything these days. Does not sting if you happen to get this in your eyes.

Its frangrance free - so its fab if you are sensitive to smells or have sensitive skin.

The bottle is sturdy and of good quality. Its clear so you can see how much its left. My only concern is it may not be the most travel friendly bottle as you have to push one half of the top of it for it to open, and this may happen accidentally in travel. Went I go away I dont take all of it, and decant into a small 40ml travel bottle - but i just wanted to warn you guys.

All in all, this is the best, almost ALL natural face wash I have found for the price, I will continue to use it and I hope the make products in this line, I would like to try them (see link at the bottom to see what else they make).

The cons: Its hard to find in Superdrug stores, not all branches carry it, but you can buy it online from Superdrug or from the manufactuers website.
