Advantages: Great price, cleans well, smells fresh.

Disadvantages: Can leave skin feeling a little tight at times.

I first was attracted to this product due to the price and the fact that it always seems to be on some sort of special offer in Boots, when I purchased mine it was on 3 for 2, and as it's only around £1.50 anyway this was a real bargain.

The product comes in a 150ml tube, with a light green body and darker green lid with the product ingredients and directions for use printed on the back. It stands on its lid and the face gel is squeezed out easily. Both I and my husband use the face gel twice daily and I would say it lasts about a month, so great value all round.

The face gel itself is light green with a fantastic fresh cucumber smell, which gives the impression it will leave your skin squeaky clean, which it does. I only need a small amount, about the size of a chickpea to get a good lather going and as I am not a fan of eye make up remover I am very pleased that this product washes off all my make-up including mascara, not sure about waterproof mascara as I do not use it, without stinging my eyes. It also rinses off easily in water. The texture of the gel is quite creamy and feels soft and light to use.

After I have used the face gel my skin feels refreshed and thoroughly cleansed, though on occasion it can leave my forehead feeling a little tight, so maybe over clean!. But this is not a problem I encounter daily. I have combination skin that is fairly sensitive and I would recommend this product to those with similar skin, although the product says that it can be used for all skin types, I would suggest that it is not really suitable for those with dry skin, as it may leave your skin feeling tight all over.

Overall, this is a great product that works well, at a fantastic price.

Summary: Worth a try.
