Cocoa

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.

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.

Jojoba

JOJOBA BEADS
(Jojoba esters)

Prized for their gentle exfoliating action, jojoba beads leave skin clearer, brighter and more polished. To create our naturally biodegradable beads that are kind to the environment, pale yellow jojoba oil is hydrogenated to create a hard white wax, which is then warmed and dropped from a height to create smooth spheres.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Recommend product, not so the new packaging Lovely scent, effective product, used regularly for years. I really don’t like the new tube though (from squeezy plastic to metal). It’s difficult to squeeze when the content gets lower, plus if you fold it to get the product out, the corners are very sharp.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A weekly essential I’ve used this for years and it gently exfoliates without drying out my skin. I use once a week in the morning before a shower and follow with Liz Earle toner. Some years ago, as part of a group of women of all ages, I had my skin analysed by a beauty therapist who said my skin was the best in the group and asked what exfoliator I used.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gentle but effective I love this - it’s gentle but effective, I usually massage in and leave for a few minutes before rinsing off, leaves skins soft and fresh looking. As with all Liz Earle products it smells clean but not an overpowering scent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gentle exfoliation Feels gentle on my skin. A little goes a long way. Im not sure if it adds much to my cleansing regime with the Liz Earle hot wash cleanser which is removed via an exfoliating cloth but Ive not been using it long. We shall see.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Liz Earle face exfoliator I have given this product four stars, just for being Liz Earle!! Maybe biased, but I am a big Liz Earle fan. I have yet to test it out on my sensitive skin. It was bought when Boots had some amazing Liz Earle offers. A great time to stock-up.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Gentle on skin I have rosacea and can’t use many other products. Even though this says not for sensitive skin it doesn’t cause any irritation and is really creamy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Sensitive Skin & Eczema I go against all the rules - i have both sensitive skin and eczema (on my face) - i find this exfoliator works best if i use it regularly - i.e. 4-5 days a week. It is gentle and removes all the dry, slightly crusty skin when i have a break out and keeps it healthy for as long as i remember to use it !

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Another great LE product Great product, introduced to me by my wife who has used it for many years. Best used I find twice a week with a cleansing mask applied after it’s really improved my skin

What are the packaging tubes made of: plastic or aluminium?

Is this for dry skin.

I have a dry skin.
Asked by: Manish
Hi, thanks for getting in touch! Even those with dry skin can benefit from regular exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and flaky skin. However, we would advise caution if your skin is particularly sensitive, and as with all our products, we would recommend a patch test first. I hope this helps - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Is this to be used on wet or dry skin

It says to use after the hot cloth & polish so is on wet or dry skin please Thank you Miss K Zambetakis
Asked by: Zambetakis1
Hi there, thanks for sending over your question. We'd generally recommend using the Gentle Face Exfoliator 2-3 times a week, after cleansing and apply using dry hands onto a dried face. I hope this helps! - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team.

This is called Gentle face Exfoliator..why then does it state by the description that it’s not suitable for sensitive skin?

Asked by: Blondan
Hi there, thanks for your question. We simply advise caution in using this (or any exfoliator) on very sensitive skin due to the stimulating nature of the product. We'd always recommend a 24-hour patch test prior to first use of any new skincare product. - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

Is this suitable if you have rosacea?

Asked by: JuneB123
Hi there, thanks for your question. We advise caution in using this (or any exfoliator) on very sensitive skin due to the stimulating nature of the product. Unfortunately there are no guarantees that individual products within our range are going to suit everyone. All of our products are formulated to be as mild and gentle as possible, but we would always recommend our customers carry out a patch test prior to using any new skincare product for the first time. A small amount should be applied close to the area of intended use. Should you experience any redness, irritation or discomfort during the next 24 hours – or at any point after the patch test - then we would advise to immediately discontinue use. - The Liz Earle Beauty Co. Team

As with all our products, please do patch test first.
