Review | REN Clearcalm Clarifying Clay Cleanser

Good afternoon lovelies, I hope you all had a lovely weekend. 

For the past year or so the only cleanser I used was Liz Earle C&P but after seeing this cleanser mentioned on many of my favourite blogs I decided to bite the bullet and give it a go.

REN Clearcalm Clarifying Clay Cleanser

REN say:

REN's ClearCalm3 system combats the 3 key causes of breakouts and blemishes: excess sebum; build up of dead skin cells; blemish-causing bacteria... without harshness.

A purifying, antibacterial cleanser formulated to combat and help prevent breakouts and blemishes.

I've really been enjoying using this cleanser in the past couple of months.

With it being a clay formula it feels a lot more substantial on the face compared to a lotion cleanser like Liz Earle C&P. You can really feel this on your face and it feels like it's doing something.

I've expierenced no breakouts or reactions as a result of using this product and I genuinely think all skin types could use this, it doesn't feel drying or oily in the slightest.

I've been using this cleanser morning and night & following advice from Caroline at Beautymouth I've been removing it with a flannel not a muslin cloth!

I really like the packaging, a pump has been included and the packaging is clear so you can see when you're running out, thumbs up REN!

Priced at £18.00 for 150ml I think this is a really good deal, REN also offer 10% off your chosen favourite product for life which can bring this down to £16.20. REN also throw in 2 samples of your choice with every order and offer free delivery when you spend £30.

Overall I really recommend this product if you're looking for an affordable cleanser, I can't think of any bad points at all!

I recently had a bit of a splurge on new skincare so lookout for my skincare haul next week!

What is you favourite cleanser?

Hot Cloth Cleansers - No.7 vs Liz Earle

Hi dolls ♥

Hot cloth cleansers are possibly my favourite skin care product discovery this year. These are the two that I've tried so far & I thought I'd share my opinions on them.

No.7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser & Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser.

No.7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser:

This is my new every day skincare product.

I use it every evening to remove my make up & to cleanse my face and I love it.

At a HUGE 200ml it's double the size of the Cleanse & Polish so I don't mind using it everyday because you get so much more product. I use 1 or 2 pumps depending on how much make up I'm wearing and this is plenty, I've had this for nearly 3 weeks now and as you can see from the top picture I've hardly used any! I must admit it smells alot more artificial than the Cleanse & Polish which I'm not a fan of, thumbs down No.7!

I bought this the last time the No.7 vouchers were doing the rounds which meant I only paid £4.00 for this, LOVE! It normally costs £9.00 which I still think is very reasonable considering how much product you get but I think I'll wait until the vouchers are knocking around again & stock up!

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish:

This was the first hot cloth cleanser & infact Liz Earle product I tried and it was love at first sight (or use!)
No other product has ever made my skin feel as fresh & clean as this product. I used to use this every morning & evening but now I've discovered the No.7 version I use this every couple of days as a treat.
I hope you can see from the picture that this product is alot thicker than the No.7 version which I find makes me use much less, one pump goes a long way! Cleanse and Polish smells ALOT nicer than the No.7 product, it smells 'natural' if that makes sense?!
For £13.00 you get 100ml of product & 2 muslin cloths which I do think is very good value and there isn't that much difference if you are paying full price for the No.7 product, this is why I will only buy the No.7 product when using the vouchers.
Overall I would have to say I prefer the Liz Earle version but I would certainly recommend the No.7 cleanser for a cheaper alternative, especially when using a voucher!
One thing I would recommend is even if you are going to choose the No.7 version I would pick up some Liz Earle muslin cloths. They are a million times better quality than the one No.7 ones and I think they really make a difference.
Have you tried any hot cloth cleansers, if so what are your favourites?
