Researching Skin Care Products:

I have been doing a little bit of research into cleansing, toning and moisturising products that are available on the market today. I’m interested in the information about the products and their quality in relation to the price. Being a student, price is a major factor!

Dermalogica:

UltraCalming Cleanser (£26.30)

This product is aimed at people with sensitive skinbecause of its gentle cleansing. Yet, the reviews of this product are very mixed. Some reviews show bad reactions to the product which provides evidence that it may not suitable for sensitive skin afterall. Others say the new formula isnt as good as the original. Yet some people say that this product is a must have. Personally, my skin is quite sensitive so I wouldn’t want to risk using this product.

“After one or two uses of this product, my whole face broke out in small, itchy bumps.”

“The "new" formula which is now a few years old did sting a little for a couple of weeks, but then my skin got used to it.”

“I'm now well into my second bottle and I am recommending it to anyone who asks.”

Liz Earle :

Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (£14.75)

Instant Boost Skin Tonic (£13.25)

Skin Repair Moisturiser (£19.25)

According to the customer reviews, they average on 5/5 stars. I personally haven’t tried the products myself but I’ve heard nothing but positivity. I have been recommended Liz Earle products by many people and that they’re a great investment. These will definitely be on my Christmas list!

“If you only have one product in your skin care routine. This HAS TO BE THE ONE.”

“I cannot speak highly enough about it”

Proactiv Solution 3 Step System:

(£39.99 as a set)

This product is targetted at acne-prone skin to deep clense, sooth and smooth. Reviews are again mixed with these products but the majority appears to be fairly negative. I don't think I will be investing in these products any time soon based on the reviews. Maybe its worth testing it myself some day.

"It DRIED out my skin like NEVER BEFORE"

"I started using it once a day, for about a week and my skin got severely inflamed"

"Worked wonders by reducing the spots and making my face clear"
