| Remember Noxzema? The face cream that comes in the blue jar? Liz Earle’s Cleanse and Hot Polish Cream might remind you of that cream cleanser. While not as thick as Noxzema, it feels dense when you apply it to your skin. As with most cream cleansers, don’t expect suds. If you’re a fan of this type of product, then Liz Earle won’t disappoint. It contains beeswax to sooth chapped skin, chamomile to reduce any inflammation, cocoa butter to moisturize, D-Panthenol to stimulate cell growth, and eucalyptus to purify the skin. All these natural ingredients work together to leave your complexion smooth and above all, clean.
While the eucalyptus fragrance might appeal more to some, it smells rather "old Medicine-chest" to others. It’s not unpleasant, but rather, what you would expect from a cold-remedy. The cream does work exceptionally well to take off makeup. Gentle enough to use around the delicate eye area, Liz Earle’s Cleanse and Hot Polish Cream will not leave your face feeling tight or dry. If your skin is dry, you’ll particularly appreciate how moist it feels after use. Those with combination skin might feel that their pores in the oily areas feel a bit clogged.
The whole premise of using the muslin cloth in a circular motion and using different parts of it seems over the top. The directions are very specific in terms of how to use this material. A terry washcloth might add to the actual cleansing and exfoliation. Besides, many people want to just wash their faces with a cloth, rinse it and be done. But following the directions will give you an almost a spa-like experience. As for the recommendation of using hand-hot water, many people do that already.
The bottom line: Reasonable in price, good for some skin types, perfect for cream cleanser lovers.
