Advantages: Excelent value for money, long lasting, amazing results

Disadvantages: Not much fragrance? althought this does not bother me

Upon a recent visit to lush I decided to try the baby face solid cleanser after reading many positive reviews, each one telling how great the product is. Now I have problem skin, which is caused by a medical problem and is hormonal, so im constantly looking for new products to try to help ease theese symptoms. And witht hat in mind i would never give a bad review because a product did not clear my skin completely, as I would not expect miricals!!!

This little cleanser was in a bowl of other identical bars in the lush store near the other cleansers they sell. The bars vary from a very pale cream, to a darker cream. This is due to the fact that the products are hand made and the ingredients are completely natural so due to natural variability this cause the product colour to be ever so slightly different, but this of course does not make any difference as to how well this product works.

I popped one of the bars into one of the little yellow bags which lush provide and took it to the till allong with my many other purchases. The lady at the counted stuck a label on the little paper bag and asked me if I had used the product before. I had not so I was glad of the advice she gave. This is one of the good things about the staff in Lush stores, they aslway are happy to explain about a product and also demonstrate how to use it. They are also very knowledgeable as to the ingredients and also the specifcs of the products. No matter how busy the store is they are always happy to help at the store I visit in the Metro Centre, Gateshead, although im sure as with all shops this can vary from store to store.

The lady explained that to use the cleanser you simply wet your face with tepid water, and then rub the bar in your hands, the heat from your hands will cause the cleanser bar to start to melt. Once you have enough of the product on your hands you massage it into your face and neck. once you have done this you use wet cotton wool pads to wipe away the product, and follow with your usual toner to remove any excess product left behind, and hey presto, your done.

So that night after getting home I was eager to try my little bar out. I wet my face and then opened the little paper bag. Unlike other lush products which usualy have strong smells, this bar is very subtle and has a clean, creamy, gentle smell to it. I massaged the bar in my hands for 30seconds or so and the bar almost immediately started to met, leaving the product on my hands. I popped the bar back into the bad and started to massage the bar over my face and also over my eyes and into my eyelashes to remove my mascara. Lush state that this cleanser is ultra effective at removing all traces of makeup. Mascara is the only makeup I wear so I am not sure how well it removes other makeup, but it was excelent at removing all traces of mascars from my lashes and did not leave me with the panda eyes which some eye makeup removers do. The cleanser is very gentle and does not sting when rubbing into the eye area and over lashes and has a slightly oily feel on your skin. After massaging the cleanser into my face for around two minutes I decided it was now time to remove the cleanser. I dipped a cotton wool pad into a sink full of clean water and wiped this over my skin adn removed the cleanser. It took four cotton wool pads to remove all traces and then for good measure I used a fifth to use to pay more attention to removing it from around my eyes and eye lashes.

After using this cleanser there is a slightly greasy feel to the skin, but sfter using my lush t-tree water toner this left over cleanser is completely removed and my skin feels soft and smooth and not at all tight. Despite this not leaving my skin feeling dry I still follow it with my usual Biore moisturiser.

My skin felt great all day and did not become oily at all during the day after using this cleanser and my skin was so soft that I couldnt resist touching my face. My fiance also commented on how nice my skin felt when he gave me a kiss whilst cuddles up watching TV. And if he noticed something like that then it must be noticeable!!!

One thing I would mention incase this is a problem for anyone, is that the cleanser does not leave any lingering scent on your skin after use. This does not bother me int he slightest, but I know that some may like nice smelling cleansers. The cleanser does not leave any sort of fragrance on your skin at all after use, however this does not bother me as I always use toner after cleansing so this would take away any scent remaining on my skin after use anyway.

Lush say that each smiling bar has four different natural plant butters in it to remove dirt and put back moisture. And id say that this description is spot on. The cleanser might not stand out as much as the other lush products and is easily overlooked because of how plain it is in comparison to the other brightly coloured, beautifully coloured, strong smelling and sometimes glittery products found in the Lush stores. I would highly recommend that anyone with problem or dry skin should try this cleanser and that they will definately be glad that they did.

The bar costs £3.87 at the moment and I have been using this bar 3-4 times per week for 5 weeks now and its not even half used, so its great value for money as well as being an excelent product. This has already lasted much longer than my Biore cleanser and was over £1 cheaper to purchase, what a bargain!!!

Summary: A fab buy from lush, give it a go, you will be impressed
