This is the first hot cloth cleanser I have tried (nope I haven't tried the hallowed Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - yet!) so I cannot compare it to others but for me this cleanser works wonders for my skin. As this is a balm product it is quite oily which isn't surprising considering it is full of different oils, the main ones being Rosehip and Jojoba. Simply massage the balm over your face and neck, soak your cloth in warm water (which is included with the product) and use as a compress to draw out impurities. Once you have removed the balm, soak your cloth in cold water and press gently over your face to close pores.
I tend to use this product on the evenings where I feel that my skin needs a little extra care. I love anything with Rosehip in so this was a big selling point for me. I find that it leaves my skin feeling soft, nourished and clean.
I seem to be addicted to cleansers and I am currently using three cleansers in my skincare routine. I use my La Roche-Posay Purifying Foaming Gel in the mornings as I find the packaging easier to handle while in the shower! I use my Lush Angels on Bare Skin in the evenings and the Boots Botanics Hot Cloth Cleansing Balm in place of Angels on Bare skin whenever I feel my skin needs a little bit of extra nourishment.
What's your favourite hot cloth cleanser?
I haven't tried a balm cleanser before, might have to give this one a go!

Oh my god! I'm addicted to Liz Earle, but my pocket aint makin it at the moment lol So I'm trying cold cream instead, pretty ace so far! This looks like another more affordable option, so I'm definitely picking it up when in Boots! xx
ReplyDeleteLike I said I can't compare it to the Liz Earle one but this works great for me & seems to restore goodness to my skin! x
DeleteThis sounds lovely :) Thanks for the review x
ReplyDeleteI really like the sound of this, it may be my next skincare purchase! I've never heard of a balm cleanser before but it sounds great xx

Thank you Janice x
DeleteI've been using this for a while now and actually panicked when they took it off the shelves for a while.
ReplyDeleteI must admit, i dont know what Boots have done but I did like the previous verison better.
I have got used to it now though and have 6 pots in stock (just in case).
Lovely evening cleanser and am planning to review this myself.
Thanks for another great review :)) xx
I didn't realise that they had changed the formula! Can't believe you have 6 pots of the stuff! That's insane! x
DeleteI love the Liz Earle cleanser. I picked it up as my skin is so sensitive that nothing works with it. I would love to try different products, I'll just live through your reviews, haha!
ReplyDeleteHaha, aw! That's fine I don't mind you living through my reviews! x
DeleteI really want to pick this up . I did get the Face Mist & loved that. I hope its still on offer
ReplyDeleteI almost picked up the face mist too!
DeleteThis sounds great, really want to give it a go at some point :) x

It sounds great, I love the Liz Earle one, but on the sad note it breaks me out, so I only use it to remove my eye make-up. x
ReplyDeleteSounds great. We don't have boots here though.
