Erno Laszlo

Caused dryness and breakouts....soap bar was hard to use/store...

Yet another wonderful product from Laszlo that has unwisely been discontinued by the current company owners, Charles Denton(former CMO Molton Brown)and backed by RBS Equity Finance and the way the line is now, which is awful, it is not surprising that an equity fund owns the company. Apologies for the mini diatribe. Back to the foundation which is presented in a mousse formula, the application could not be easier, I use this on any area that needs to have a more even appearance. This not only evens out my complexion but miraculously appears to erase to some lines and even smoothes out some wrinkles. Interestingly the color, I wear Bisque I am light-complexioned with a yellow undertone, in the jar, this looks very dark however once it's applied the color is approximately 3-4 shades lighter. This foundation can still be found on eBay at a fair price, I paid $20 and I would have gladly paid $40, for which you get 15grams at the rate I am using this I will probably have it for two years.

I've had a different experience from the previous viewer. I grudging pay the ridiculous price because I get reliable results not experienced with other products whether drugstore, healthfood/"clean" or high end. I have sensitive combination skin and wear a moderate amount of makeup along with a full sunscreen. I use this followed by the sea mud soap at night. I use one or the other in the morning depending on how my skin feels. I follow with EL Light Controlling Lotion on damp skin (the way it was formerly meant to be used). I don't care for the moisturizers from this brand (far too overpriced for what you get) and use others. This product feels like a non-oily gel, very silky and does not over-lather. It rinses off easily. It is NOT like the other "oil" cleansers from this brand, which I find difficult to remove. Overall: This product makes my face feel clean while not causing redness, dry patches or sensitivity/allergic reactions. It smells ok, feels nice and I enjoy using it. Bottom line: The Laszlo system does not appeal to everyone. You can purchase a trial cleansing duo for about $10, a travel size set for about $30 or, if you are lucky, you can find an SA to give you samples. You can buy this product from Dermstore, Skinstore and Sephora all of whom have great reduced price promotions periodically.
