Cleanse & Polish The Results

Cocoa flower

COCOA BUTTER
(Theobroma cacao)

Famous for its excellent emollient properties, we source our cocoa butter from West Africa, where fermented beans of the cocoa tree are roasted, cracked and ground to give a powdery solid called cocoa mass, from which cocoa butter is pressed.

Rosemary

ROSEMARY EXTRACT
(Rosmarinus officinalis)

Used for its antioxidant properties, we source our rosemary from Spain, where the extract is filtered from the needle-shaped leaves of the plant.

Chamomile

CHAMOMILE EXTRACT
(Anthemis nobilis)

Legendary for its skin-soothing properties, the flowers of this aromatic perennial are harvested in England in the summer, before the ingredient is solvent extracted from the fragrant flower.

Eucalyptus

EUCALYPTUS ESSENTIAL OIL
(Eucalyptus globulus)

Renowned for its purifying properties and invigorating aroma, we source our eucalyptus from China, where our essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the fast-growing eucalyptus tree.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Was my no.1 for 20 years.. it’s changed.. !! I’ve used this 💯 for 20years. The last two I bought have been such a disappointment. The consistency anf formula has changed. It now DOES NOT remove my mascara which I’ve also been using for years. Why has it changed? Such a disappointment. Looking for a new cleanser now, when I can get the mascara off!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Not the same as before. I have used Liz Earle products for about 18 years and have always loved Cleanse and Polish. Recently, I feel that it has not been the same and this has disappointed me.

Do you still sell the 50ml Cleanse and Polish? I've found it a good size for holidays

Asked by: Katherine19
Hello and thank you for getting in touch. Unfortunately, we no longer stock Cleanse & Polish in a 50ml size. We apologise for any disappointment this causes. Cleanse & Polish is available in a 30ml, 100ml or 200ml tube and you will find all options on our website here: https://www.lizearle.com/skincare/our-range/cleanser/ We'll pass your suggestion on to the relevant team as we always love to hear feedback and suggestions from our customers.

What is the PH level?

Asked by: Cbla
Hello We can confirm that all of our products are pH balanced; most of the range is balanced to around 5.5, which is the skin’s normal pH.   This means that they are neither too alkaline or too acidic for the skin.  We hope this helps but please call our Customer Centre on 0800 413318 if you have any further queries or if there is anything else we can assist with.

How long does a 200ml of Cleanse & Polish last?

Asked by: DaniK
Hi there, thanks for sending over a question. We would say approximately 6-8 weeks if you are using the product twice a day. I hope this helps! - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Is this product gluten free?

I see it contains hops. Is this gluten and wheat free?
Asked by: JulieD40
Thanks for getting in touch. While we can confirm which products include wheat as an intentional ingredient, without completing a full assessment of the entire supply chain we are unable to offer a full list of products that are free from wheat (so our products may not be suitable for someone with coeliac disease, for example, depending on how serious their allergy is). As a common sense precaution we would always recommend a 24 hour patch test is conducted prior to the first use of any new skincare product. I hope this information helps - The Liz Earle Naturally Active Team

Do you have to use the cloth to remove the product?

Can I use large cotton pads run under hot water to remove instead of the reusable cloth?
Asked by: Newgirl
Thanks for getting in touch. For best results, we would recommend that your use our Cleanse & Polish with the Pure Cotton Cloth, as the cloth will gently buff the skin, and helps keep your pores clean and clear. I hope this information helps - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Can you take the cleanser off with the skin tonic or do you advise water first?

For example if you have had a skin peel and should refrain from using water.
Asked by: Wallis
For best results we would advise gently removing our Cleanse & Polish with water and the pure cotton cloth. However, if you are unable to use water for any reason then you may wish to try using our Instant Boost Skin Tonic as a temporary alternative. We hope this helps. The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

How long would a 30ml (travel size) tube of cleanse and polish last?

I'm going away for 10 days and looking to travel light. Assuming I only used it once a day does anyone have any idea how many uses I could get out of a 30ml tube of cleanse and polish?
Asked by: JBar
I've found it contains enough for two weeks, using it twice a day. If you're only using it once a day for ten days, you'll certainly have plenty left over.

How often should the cloth be washed? Do I was it in the laundry with my clothes but how often? Also how often should I change the cloth too?

Asked by: Shiv
Thank you for contacting us. We would recommend to wash your cotton cloth after every couple of uses to keep the cotton fresh and clean. Cloths can be washed in with your normal white or light wash at 30 degrees. The open weave allows our cotton cloths to dry quickly and prevent growth of bacteria. If you have very sensitive skin and find detergent residue irritates, try washing the cloths in soap flakes or boiling them in plain water. I hope this information helps - The Liz Earle Beauty Co.
