Yet another tube of the Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream :encore:

hey kate,
I just got my dr hauschka cleansing cream a couple of days ago. Im not sure whether its working on me because even after I wash my face, there's still an oily feeling on my skin. I naturally have oily skin. Is it possible Im not using enough or not using it correctly? I put a 5cent amount and add a bit of water and apply all over my face, am I meant to scrub it?

Hey lovegreys,

The Cleansing Cream doesn't have any detergents in it so it won't remove oils from the skin. It still cleans your skin though! I apply it the same as you, I turn it into a paste with a bit of water and then massage gently all over the face.

You can follow it with a toner if you like, this will remove the "oily feeling" - Dr.Hauschka's toner is very good. Go with the Clarifying one if you have oily skin.

HTH :)

Oh ok.. thanks for the toner advice, i probably should do that. I dont know why but I've been getting some small pimples after using the cleansing cream as my cleanser, feels like i havent cleansed properly but its maybe my skin adjusting.

Yes it does help, Kate, take care!

I tried to love this for months, but just kept suffering breakouts.:( Gave it away in the end - this tube did last, I'll give it that - but something in it made my skin react. In fact I've found that with alot of natural based products....and usually results in big painful blind pimples that continue to come back.

I have oily skin and I find that cream cleansers just don't cut it....I have to go with foaming/gel cleansers otherwise my skin does go a bit manky.

I'm bumping this to haircare

Vita 5?...um? in the green tube?
Shampoo so must get some more asap!

i need a new cleanser! anyone recommend a great milk cleanser??:waving:

I am always on the hunt for a great milk cleanser too.
I recently used up some samples of the Dermalogica Essential Cleansing Solution. It did a good job without feeling greasy or too dry. It's next on my list.

I have used this Akin before too & liked it.

BuBBLes I can highly recommend the Ultraceuticals Ultra Milk Cleanser too. Have been using it for about two weeks and I love, love, love it. Usually prefer a foaming cleanser for my combo skin but this has rocked my world! Skin is clear, smooth and really hydrated - you hardly need any moisturiser (the soy extract kicks butt). Also you get a huge bottle so it'll last for ages. Have put a full review in the U/C thread if you're interested...

Haha girl you are like an Ultraceuticals Cheerleader!

I know! As a non-gusher it's a bit embarrassing really. They should sign me up as a rep!

Finished my Clarins Multi Active Day Cream today.:tears:

Great texture and I will definitely look at getting this again for the colder months.

thanks Medusa and Raspberryberet! i definitely check out the cleansers you recommended. :hearts:

Another pump pack of REN Mayblossom and Blue Cypress Balancing Facial Wash for Combination skin.
It's the bomb! :hearts:

I just used up my bottle of Ultraceuticals Ultra A Serum! Onto the next one......

I used up my U/C Ultra Milk Cleanser. Ordering another one right now!

I have been thinking about buying this RBB based purely on your raves :).... I have never used a milk cleanser before....

I sure have built it up, huh?? Perhaps the better term is 'raving mad'?

No really, it's great. I'll stop now though, I'm going to be accused of being a rep in disguise (which I'm not, I promise!)

:chuckle: I'll have to give it a burl

Mastey Code Red Conditioner. I can never figure out why we always run out of conditioner first when I always shampoo twice? Someone must be drinking it.

Next up is my mainstay - Alchemy's Macadamia & Wheat Protien Treatment

Just finished my Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser.
Up next I just ordered for the first time Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream. Looking forward to try this :spin:

Yesterday I used up my Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream! Never mind 2 more tubes waiting in my cupboard:whistle:!!

PCC, I have spotted the PP store in Melbourne Central. It is off a little alley on the ground floor. We can both check it out when you come up.:waving:

Used up yet another tube of the awesome Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream :encore:

:shockedhair:!! I suggest you buy some more Fusspot!! After all skin is the bodies largest organ so if you buy expensive skin care it's really an investment in your health now isn't it and you really can't put price on your health now can you?:chuckle:

In fact I really should start lobbying the private health funds to start giving us rebates on our skin care after all we are only trying to look after the bodies largest organ and in doing this we are looking after our health!!

U/C Protective mositeriser sample. I want another one dam it!
I wasn't convinced this morning but now my skin still feels soft and smooth:worship:. I want to try it again!

Used the last of my Mirenesse Superstar Eye Serum sample this morning :tears:, but should be getting another in the mail tomorrow :glee:

I used up all of my Akin Rosehip Oil. I use quite a lot of it so it only last for a few weeks! My replacement bottle was the last one in the health food shop, as well.

used up my REN mayblosson & konjac balancing moisturiser today and purchased another!

Used up my Dr Haushka's Cleansing Cream. Shall order some more as I just can't live without this amazing stuff. Well I could, just being dramatic to make a point ;)

just finished up my UC Even Skin Tone serum, and onto a new one. I'm getting through my last little squeezes from my UC Cleansing gel and UC SPF30+ moisturiser......new tubes patiently waiting in the cupboard!!

Hmmmm Sounds very familiar Jaime!!

finished yet another tube of Dr Hauschka cleansing cream. I won't be repurchasing at the moment, it was be sadly missed but budgetting is now my middle name!

i used up the last of my sample of the UC cleansing lotion :shakehead:

Finally used up Dermalogica Sensitive Sunscreen- ok but I have a new love now.

Finally used up Dermalogica Sensitive Sunscreen- ok but I have a new love now.

Kit Kat, is this the tinted Dermalogica sensitive sunscreen? I have this one but it is way too dark for me.

Not the tinted one... I got one of their new (US) ones from s net..

I killed off a J&J Clean & Clear Oxygenating Facial Scrub - I love this stuff.

U/c ESTS :tears: and ACE treatent cream

Cant wait till the Ultra A sheer comes out!! :penguin:

dr hauschka rose day cream. can't replace so i'm using all my little travel sized rose and quince creams.

Yah! 2 products down in one day!

De Lorenzo Rejven8. Thank god - I have had this for years! :ashamed:

Ultraceuticals Ultra Milk Cleanser :tears: Went thru this a bit fast? I suspect my boy has been using it despite him having his own Natio cleanser. :shakehead: :whipcrack:

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Uplifting Eye Cream. I have decided to return to the Alpha-H eye products as I have had the most dramatic results when using these two products.

You have inspired me to have another go Charismatic. The promising Givenchy No Surgetics eye cream shows no results (ok it's only been two weeks!)

LB, after two weeks you should be noticing some difference.

It is so funny that after such great results with Alph-H, I allowed an SA to convince me the Estee Lauder product was the best eye product on the market. When will I learn to just go with the results? :rollthoseeyes:

That's why I take I wide bearth around THAT counter!:shakehead:

I used the last of my Tromborg Calandula Water, which I shall miss greatly, but am looking forward to trying my sample of Clarins Toner with Iris and also the Alpha-h Harmony Infusion, which I have used for the first time tonight :clapping:

I think I have maybe three days left of my U/C Ultra Milk Cleanser (second tube in a few months, eek!). Can't bear to be without this one now, so making yet another Adore order. I can almost hear the bank balance gasping.

i used up yet another Dr H cleanser & luckily this time i had another ready to go

Invisible Zinc Tinter Daywear - Original. I'm still using the light at the moment but I must get more of the darker one soon for when the warmer weather hits & I start using fake tans again.

Clarins Water Comfort 1 step Cleanser, Peach. This was a sample 50ml bottle but I will be keeping it to refill for travel. Beautiful to use. On the re-purchase list.
Will now work on using up the half bottle of my Aesop Parsley Seed Toner.

I ran out of my Olay "Complete defense SPF 30+ Daily moisturiser" :shakehead:
I can't decided if I should buy this again or try the U/C daily moisturiser. The only reason I like the Olay one is because it's approved by the sun cancer council and feels good on my skin. But the U/C has such good reviews. What do I do?? WHAT DO I DO GIRLS!!!! :rollthoseeyes::rollthoseeyes::rollthoseeyes:

The Olay one is very good for the money.

I think I'm going to buy the U/C one tomorrow just to try it. See how it compares to my Olay one

I used up the last of my Lancome hydrating lotion/toner tonight. It's a shame too cos it's a nice alternative for days when my skin is slightly deyhydrated. Will have to repurchase. I feel like I have been running out of a lot of things in the past couple of weeks!

I used up my sample of the Clarins Toner with Iris in it. I quite liked it, and might look at purchasing it when I get back from me trip. I will try very hard to hold on until then!!!:whistle:

I'm using up the last of my Alpha-H Clay based mask tonight. I really love this mask, but am not buying another until I use up the ten or masks I have, so I can return to a simple routine... well I'll try anyway! :redcheeks:

My Cellex C Hydra 5 B-Complex :( Did a great job for me during Winter.

Now what to use next? I still have some ESTS but I find it too drying in the cooler weather, great for soaking up any oil in Summer though. I have an unopened Ultra A (the GWP one) but again I am saving that for the summer. Mmmmmm? :rolleyes: Sounds like I need to buy something..... Maybe the new Shizen Face Oil? Any recs?

Finished yet another bottle of the U/C ESTS... have gone through 2 bottles of the Gentle Formula & am thinking of uping the ante & trying the Normal formula...
Methinks my skin can handle it, as I use quite a few active products...

Medusa, I got to test the Dermalogica Skin Hydrating serum tonight. It also contains hyaluronic acid (like your Cellex). I was told that even though the bottle was small, it should last about four months with once daily use. Had lots of other worthwhile ingredients in it too and was completely oil free.

Oooh it's all about hyaluronic acid now, isn't it?? It seems like an amazing ingredient for hydration. I am looking at the ingredients list in my cheapie Skinvitals L-Soothe cloth masks from Priceline and notice that the second ingredient is "sodium hyaluronate", is this the same thing??

Yes, thats it. Wonderful stuff.

Now that you mention it Luisa, I did almost buy that Dermalogica one before. I liked the sample. Bit exy though.

Yeah go for it BK! The Gentle version has been discontinued now anyway.

Hi Kate! How come they discontinued the Gentle Formula? :shakehead: I am loving this..and now it's gone! :tears:

Is the Ultra Hydrating Gel still available? or discontinued also? :redcheeks:

Thanks!

The Gentle Formula was not a huge seller, and most people are fine with the regular strength anyway, so that's why they decided not to keep it. At least that's what I've been told.

Ultra Hydrating Gel is definitely still around!

Finshed my beloved Aesop Primrose Facial Hydrating Cream today :tears:
This was fantastic for my skin & a dream to use. Great value for the big jar as it has lasted for ages. I got it in Dec last year and I used it everyday. Will def repurchase but right now I must get to work on the Clarins Multi-Active Day Cream that has been waiting patiently for me in the cupboard.

FINALLY my TBS vit e cleanser [lotion]

Alpha-H micro-cleanse. :shakehead: I can't live without this product!

I feel your pain Charismatic. I'm scaping the bottom of mine too. Unfortunatly my Boy is also a fan.

Clarins Multi-Active Night Lotion.
This was only a small 15ml tube. Although it has a light consistancy you only need a little. It was nice but I prefer something a little heavier for night. May be a good summer option.

my fav product atm UC ests :shakehead::tears::tears:

I really like this one in the Summer months M, a super night cream with a devine scent - works pretty well too!:chuckle:

Must say I really like the Clarins Multi-active night lotion. Although I am sticking to a skin regime for a week to prove to myself that I can use the same products for a week the clarins is just going to have to wait!!

Last nite I used up the last of my Dermalogica gentle eye makeup remover (it was the first one I fished out of the drawer and too lazy to find another!) and I am regretting it today - my eyes are a little bit puffy and watery. Am going to take an antihistamine and pop a cold eye pack on!! My eyes CANNOT tolerate anything from Dermalogica being anywhere near them!!! Am glad it was only GWP size and I didn't pay for it!

Funny what you say Ozzie. I am a huge Dermalogica fan but a lot of people I know can't put Dermalogica eye products anywhere near them as they have an instant reaction. I react terribly to the Mutilvitamin Power Firm Eye Cream and The Total Eye Care but the Intensive Eye Repair doEsn't react at all and is one of my favourite eye creams.

Me too! Although I cannot use the Precleanse or the Total Eye Care but the Multivitamin Eye cream I have no problems with. Have not tried the Intensive Eye, a little scared!

Is it just on your eyes you can't use the precleanse Luisa or can't you use it on your face at all?

I have never used the oils on my eyes anyway as they make my vision quite blurred but I find the oils fabulous everywhere else on my face.

Can use it on my face no problem but as soon as I get it near my eyes, they start weeping uncontrolably! I had the same effect with the Total eye as well as very irritated skin.

Me too. Makes me sad because I really liked the Precleanse sample. But I wanted to be able to use it on my eyes & face. I wear more make up on my eyes than the rest of my face.

Invisible Zinc Tinted Daywear, Light. :(
MUST go out tomorrow & get some more. This time it will be the darker tint to match my fake tan.

Just squeezing out the last of my Mirenesse Power Lift Superstar Eye Serum. It is actually a cream, but whatever. This was the 5ml sample size. I have been using it everyday for months! If you are on a tight budget check this link.

Can't say it was better that my UC Ultra ACE eye cream but nice nonetheless.

I'm nearly out of U/C ESTS :tears:
It better last till pay day!

Finished up the last drops of my UC C10 serum today. Moving onto Skinceuticals CE Ferulic for summer I think - hoping the extra antioxidants keep the freckles at bay...

wow Luisa , tell me, did u already know that ? ;) :chuckle: :whistle:

OMG, they compare it to Even Lom!:penguin:

I have got to get some of this Eve Lom. Reckon it would work for combo skin LB?

I have combo skin Raspberry and I have Eve Lom. It's totally disgusting looking but is THE BEST!!!!

Ladyver, can you describe the Cinque Mondes cleanser?

it's a fruit oil based cleanser (mango and passionfruit) which removes makeup, is very gentle on the skin & eyes and is completely removed with water. it is fairly $$ but i think worth it because i only need to cleanse once and there is no need for another eye makeup remover or second cleanser & it has lasted me a few months. oh, and it smells nice too!

i have to admit that i followed the instructions exactly (which is a bit sad, but fun) - warming a little in the palms of my hands and applying to a dry face & eyes - massage gently to budge makeup - and rinse with water.

no SLS, silicone, mineral oils, colouring or animal-based ingrediants

wow Luisa , tell me, did u already know that ? ;) :chuckle: :whistle:

No I didnt, just got wide-eyed when I saw the word Paste in ladyver's post! The website likens it to the Eve Lom!

I have got to get some of this Eve Lom. Reckon it would work for combo skin LB?

In my opinion, RBB, oily and combo skins should not be scared of oil. Years ago I used to sell a Clarins Product called Lotus Oil which is great for regulating oily skin types. It would be very hard to convince an oily skined person to "apply" oil but sure enough, had great results with.

This Eve Lom is an oily paste (looks VERY unappealing!) that you smear on farily thickly and follow her lymphatic drainage movements. It is then washed of, albeit with a fairly lengthy routine of warm water and three compresses, then circular movements then cold compress.

Those who try it though, are hooked but a tad pricey at 45 pounds plus 15 for delivery (and that's for the small jar!). Vogue called it the best cleanser in the world.

hi RBB, unfortunately i have never tried the eve lom cleanser - would love to though - but i think the lesson i am learning is that if an oil based cleanser completely washes off in water then it is ok for combo skin. if it doesn't, then i keep it for eyes only (if it's gentle)

Thanks for this. I had been a bit scared of oil but then again, was also a bit scared of actives and look how well that worked out! Willing to try just about anything thanks to this forum.

Very interesting, will pop it onto the 'must-try' list. Don't suppose there's anywhere in Australia that sells it - online or via UK only? Perhaps I should conjure a London trip around the sampling :whistle: pardner might have something to say about that though!

Great, thanks ladyver - very true. I think the Cinque Mondes cleanser sounds lovely, also something Medusa might be interested in.

Have you tried anything else from the Cinq Mondes range? I am seriously coveting the 'Rain of Rose Petals' body products!

Exactly! Because it is a cleanser and you remove it properly, no oily residue should be left on your skin. All you feel is "soft as a baby's bum" skin. Oily cleansers are far superior in how they cleanse and remove makeup. Do keep the Eve Lom one away from eyes though, it actually has eucalyptus and rosemary oils in it.

wow it washes off completely , that is great , too pricey for me though

that other one sounds great as well

btw , i loved lotus oil , used it for the first time about 15 years ago :whistle:

Today I used up U/C Milk Cleanser .. also out of the U/C 30+ moisteriser. I am also out of exfoliant and ned to change night time moisterisers as my Active Moist doesn't seem like my skin atm.

No idea what to purchase next or repurchase this....hmmm!

I ran out of my Alpha H serum last night (trial size). Was not super impressed with the smell but loved what it did for my skin. I am waiting for Mario Badescu Cellufirm drops to arrive in the mail. I hope this is a good substitute.

U/c Protective Moisturiser 30+ Luckily I still have a travel one left over from the last kits from last year :whistle: Its still good though.

O and my alpha H Triple action cleanser I left it for a few days after i thought it was done and got a bit more out but i think its doen now :tears:

Noooooooo!! You must go out and get some more immediately! I love Thalgo!

U/C ESTS. Picked up a new on at Adore yesterday though ;)

EEEEEKKKKKKK !!!!!!!!!!!!

I have run out of my face sunscreen :no: I thought I had another in the cupboard but I don't :explode:. I'll have to use something else.... oh god the shame :ashamed:

:reindeer:

This or the Liquid Gold would be great for your skin Loola. Noticeable difference in days!

What are you saying I have bad skin?? :chuckle: J/K!

Which one would you recommend and what exactly are they for?? I was looking at the Liquid Gold on Friday night but I get so confused with skincare.

No! Was NOT saying that!:chuckle: Gosh, should be more careful how I word my posts!

AHA's are great for most skins and you know I am a fan of them. They help shed dead skin cells (or rather the "glue") that holds them together) to reveal fresher, newer skin. As we age, the rate of which our skin renews itself slows down. They really help to even the skin tone and texture too.

Which one? Either one, my preferred is still LG.

No one strike me down but I don't really know the first thing about active ingredients and AHA's, haven't done any research at all!

So would this be applied at night, and before or after moisteriser?

Ok so just went and looked - would I want the Liquid Gold or Liquid Harmony?

Liquid Gold for you, applied at night, with our without a moisturiser on top. Do try... do I sound like the Dilmah man?:chuckle:

Do Adore do refunds on products that cause reactions??

LB I think you should also recommend a moisteriser for me :chuckle:

You should check with Kate. If you have a reaction to a product most places will take it back and hopefully pass on the details to the company. Perhaps they can give you a sample to try first. If not, I will give you some to try.

Mmm, moisturiser. Brain too tired to think about moisturisers after our mammoth weekend! Will have a think! xo

Thanks gorgeous! I will see if I can get a sample. xo

I used my first tube of vegesorb up this morning .... :(

Hey ALice did you know that you can buy vegesorb in like a big bucket/tub thing?? I've seen it at my local health food shop!

Bucket-o-goodness!

It seems wrong!

Nothing in a bucket can ever be wrong:

- Vegesorb
- KFC
- those giant buckets of jellybeans that you get free when you buy shi tloads of paint
- mop water
- milk (if you're a busty lusty milkmaid in France in 1771)

I know a bad KFC story as well ... poor cat :shakehead:

I think everyone has a KFC story! Just like everyone has a KFC nickname:
- Kentucky Fried Cat (this is what my cousin calls it - looks like you and she heard the same story Loola!)
- Dirty Bird
- Kentucky Duck
- Kentucky Fried Panda: "It's finger Ling-Ling good!"

The cat looked a bit more worse for wear than that...!

my hubby calls it Kentucky fried cat

It can't be any worse than the coleslaw story...

We love the Dirty Bird!

:chuckle::chuckle:

I used up the last of my Alpha-H Advanced Hydration Cream tonight... on my feet. They were really dry and the cream was just getting too heavy for my face skin for this time of year... so it made sense. Now my feet feel great!

Used up yet another tube of Dr.Hauschka Cleansing Cream.

Of course :chuckle:

My mum is shouting me a couple of dr hauschka products tonight. She had noticed the otherday that my skin was not like it usually is so Im meeting up with her at her local shops this afternoon - she has been very generous and said I can spend up to $150... (she knows how much this stuff costs, and I dont have $150 to spend on skincare). :penguin:

ABSOLUTELY! :worship:

that's really lovely Alice

I totally didnt expect it but mum said that she knows I love dr hauschka skincare and thought she'd go shopping with me!.... I've tried to find cheaper alternatives but they just don't have th elong term benefits I've experienced when I have used Dr Hauschka in the past. I love my mum shes super special! :kissing:

i used up my natural instincts face scrub [thank god ] & a deep clean cream cleanser [but a always have another :whistle:]

Today I used up an almost-full-size sample of CD Capture Totale eye cream. It was lovely and I'd love to re-purchase, but would have to have a look at the price first!

I (almost) used up my UC Gentle Cleansing Gel in the shower this morning. I think next I will get the Alpha-H triple action cleanser....

I did the same when I ran out Celeste.... I was sick of squeezing the tube so hard all the time

Oh I know! I've felt like it has been running out for about a month now! But yet it still keeps on coming out (eventually). Liked it, but not enough to repurchase. Have heard rave reviews about the Alpha-H though, are you a fan Jaime?

yes I have always enjoyed using the Alpha-H one, the smell is a little more pleasant IMO, and makes my skin feel very clean. I believe Charismatic is a big fan too.

Excellent. Might try and get into Adore tomorrow on my way to the haircut!

Celeste the Alpha-H triple action cleanser is amazing. I would almost die without it. I have sensitive skin and have never had a problem using this cleanser day and night. It cured my hormonal zits that I had monthly for decades. :glee:

EXCELLENT! Exactly what I wanted to hear. Thanks Charismatic xx

:hugs::kissing::waving:

I have been loving the Triple Action - only beef i have is that it leaks and when I open it the lid is filled with product.

I liked the U/M milk Cleanser a lot but have found this one heaps better. I also use this in conjunction with the MB Enzyme Cleanser.

really? I haven't had this problem....

really? I haven't had this problem....

Yeah! I open it up and the lid is FILLED with it! I scoop it out of there - I have yet had to even squeeze the tube :chuckle:

really? I haven't had this problem....

Neither have I! :shakehead:

Is the little pointy bit in the lid not doing its job loola??

No idea - there's a pointy thing? FAULTY!!

um :ashamed: I think so?? I could be wrong! I was pretty sure there was.... you know when you pop the lid open, and there's usually some little pointy bit of plastic in the lid that matches to the hole?

You're right Jaime. My UC gel exfoliator leaks though cos I dropped it in the shower and the lid cracked a bit so although the pointy thing is there, it won't align. So annoying. Maybe Loola's Alpha-H suffered a similar fate?

I don't remember - mind you I've had freezing cold showers since Monday morning so I'm reaching across and scooping out and not paying attention - I just feel like a lot of product is being wasted.

It's been like this since I got it.

I'm nearing the end of my Lush Herbalism cleanser!

:shakehead: Oh no.... isnt lush just lovely and the cleansers in particular just last for such a long time! :xmastree:

Lush is full of dodgy products though which sort of irks me as I see them as being 'natural' - but they're not! Full of SLS etc!

Luckily i just ordered a re fill :penguin:

Not all of them are meant to be natrual. I think i read that in a catalogue or something.
Atleast they try lol :chuckle:

some of them are indeed filled with chemical nasties but I am hopeful that they may reformulate some products like theyre trying to make more and more soaps without palm oil. no preservatives in their facial cleansers with exception to ultra bland. no preservatives in their solid shampoo either - although some contain SLS... I dont like the fact they use parabens in their facial moisturisers but out of the products I use the moisturiser and shampoo are the only ones that dont have the greatest ingredients lists. AOBS is wholesome, no nasties - and it has to be one of their best products...

The impression they put out there for their market perception is that of natural goodness.

really ? i wouldn't have though so with such strongly fragranced items

You mightn't, but it's true. They do have a 'holier than thou all natural' image (in my eyes anyway!)

Yeah I've realised this, but they products that don't work a treat! Like AOBS, that's just a great all round product

You mightn't, but it's true. They do have a 'holier than thou all natural' image (in my eyes anyway!)
I wouldn't say holier than natural, I mean they do list their ingredients quite visibly compared to other "natural" products and for that I think that makes them alot better then other brands. You just have to read the labels really. There are some crap stuff though, there body washes are terrible!!
And don't get me started on the SA's!!!! Those girls are terrible!

I agree & have never brought anything from there. I feel they are a bit like The Body Shop in that regard. Its misleading.

:shockedhair: No Medusa! I think TBS is waaaaaaaay worse! The only good things from lush are there body creams and AOBS

I quite enjoy Lush mainly because I love anything that smells sickly sweet and is brightly coloured. I think it's totally a matter of personal choice and like all brands some things are good and others aren't. You just have to find what works for you.

If your skin is a bit on the dry side try the baby face cleanser. I only use it when my skin is massively dehydrated. It comes in a bar and it seriously leaves my skin feeling like a babies bottom.

i can only speak of TBS back many moons ago , but back then i remember Anita Roddick saying & it was quoted to us [staff] , something along the lines of , we r not a natural company , we r fun , my stuff is highly coloured & fragranced & could never be considered natural , this is just peoples perceptions of TBS

this is going back more than 11 yrs ago though :whistle:

I :hearts: Lush. They've always been upfront about not testing on animals, but IMO I don't think they market themselves as 'all natural' and SLS, paraben-free etc. Use of some natural ingredients, yes, but not all-natural.

Not really but Trash, I do have the L'occitane almond and apple cleanser and the Dr Hauschka cleansing cream open at the same time... I didn't want to have 4 going at once, but I can manage 3 :chuckle:

Aesop Parsley Seed Anti-Oxident Facial Toner.
Smells a bit weird but is a pretty good product.

Moving onto the MB Grapefruit one.

Last night I used up the last of my Mirenesse Amino Peptide Complex Cleanser, which I found to be a pretty good cleanser for getting makeup off, but the smell was a bit sickly I think, not good when one's tummy is sensitive to strong smells. Might purchase this again at a later date?

Not all of them are meant to be natrual. I think i read that in a catalogue or something.

Whats the herbalism like Littlemissv???? Ive use the Ultrabland and am now onto Sweet Japanese girl (as it has juniper & tea tree oils and my skin gets a little oily in my t zone) im thinking ill try the AOBS or herbalism next, any suggestions?

Im not littlemissv - but go for AOBS! :worship:

I did quote her didnt i??? Its got her user name in the quote thingee, anyways...

So AOBS you reckon..??? Even on skin that tends to get oily t zone??? I really like the fact that my sin fels so comforted after using Lush cleansers, not stripped at all and my skin is less oily too which is a bonus.

Used the last of my Alpha-H glycolic balancing moisturiser, I like this one, esp at night, works well to unclog my skin and keep it hydrated when used along with other glycolic based products (such as the Alpha-H mask and MD Formulations face and body scrub).

what I meant was that I know you'd quoted littlemissv but in my opinion .... lush AOBS, not sure what littlemissv thinks though ... check out her thread on lush ... herbalism is meant for oilier skintypes.

if you to the the american lush website they have a skintype and product list see go look here

Well i really like herbalism!
I don't find it drying at all and takes all the yuckies off my skin.
Its a bit hard to get used to though. You only use a small blob and you have to put 1 or 2 drops of water in it and mush it all around lol.
I've tried AOBS too and i enjoyed. It made my skin super soft but i think my skin got used to it after a while so i changed to Herbalism.
I'll probably try something else once my new pot of herbalism runs out ;)

Not to worry, I have 2 more waiting in the cupboard :whistle:

worse still am about to run out of my masks at the same time :explode:

This morning I used up my UC C-Serum. I am not going to repurchase it (I think the Sheer or something else in the C range will be better for my combination skin) but I will look into these other options

Celeste I'm using the C-Sheer cream at the moment. If you don't have a night moisturiser you love at the moment I would recommend this.

Oh really? May well. I don't tend to moisturise at night, just cleanse tone and apply ESTS. Can you apply the C-Sheer over ESTS, do you know??

You can but your skin may be a bit prickly. I find this even from using the Ultra C sheer alone.

By all means, use it at night but even though it stays in your system for at least a couple of days, Vitamin C creams are great in the morning to assist your sunscreen and natural skin protection from free radicals.

So could I use it under the 30+ moisturiser and Becca primer?? Or would it be better used as the moisturiser on it's own?

So could I use it under the 30+ moisturiser and Becca primer?? Or would it be better used as the moisturiser on it's own?

Yes, definitley untder sunscreen and primer. It is sheer and non greasy but will help attack free radicals during daylight hours. Save your ESTS for evening.

Ok cool - might be the way to incorporate it into my regime! Have been considering swapping the UC range for Alpha H though and I just get so confused. I was loving UC but am wondering if I've hit a plateau?? My skin hasn't been terrible but it hasn't been great recently either

The Alpha H range is great for skin needing a bit of a change and results are noticeable really quickly. They do tend to rely heavily on AHA based products so please research them before doing the overload. In my opinion their Vital C is not a patch on the UC one though because of its concentration and delivery system.

Thanks Luisa. I won't make any drastic changes now but might slowly change products as I run out. xx

Thanks Luisa. I won't make any drastic changes now but might slowly change products as I run out. xx

I'm doing this too Celeste. See how we go!

Thanks Luisa. I won't make any drastic changes now but might slowly change products as I run out. xx

I dont mean to nag or bother you, but you must visit origins counter and try a couple of the products, ask for the SA's to dispense some product into the little containers for you!...

if your looking for products to brighten and make your skin look great...


never a dull moment face polisher.... gorgeous! .... ;)
no puffery for eyes
either a perfect world or my favourite youthtopia moisturiser :hearts:


another suggestion would be to get - a dr hauschka mask any of them are amazing, so wonderful, such a treat anyone whos used them has looked stunning :worship:

You can but your skin may be a bit prickly. I find this even from using the Ultra C sheer alone.

I use the Ultra C Sheer and was expecting it to feel like my skin wasn't used to it. I used it every second morning for a week and then upped it to daily, and it still feels the same as it ever did! Was I "supposed" to feel a tingle, or at least a warm feeling like the directions on the package indicated?

I also found this when I introduced ESTS - not one single tingle! Perhaps the PH of my skin didn't need much readjusting?

Milo i had the same thing , i only experience a tiny bit of warmth with the C & nothing with the ESTS
i asked Lady Allison & she said it was fine , though make sure u r massaging it in lightly & for a couple of mins

Thanks, Fuss :) I'll try the massaging it in thing and see if it feels like it penetrates any more. I thought I was weird for getting no tingles! The only thing that's ever tingled is the Alpha H Glycolic Mask.

The last of my Liquid Harmony, which was excellent timing as my White Gold from Adore arrived today. Yay!!!

I used up my witch hazel toner!
Luckily i had some spare stored away!
