I received this face wash in the November/Decemeber Miss Glossybox. Miss Glossybox has since been axed and I was disappointed because it was a lovely little beauty box with some great items. The Miss Glossybox was £7 plus £2.95 postage per box and this face wash itself is £13!
Firstly the product comes in an outer box which is not really needed for a face wash but gives an expensive feel to the product. The box is rather plain looking and has quite a medical feel to it, which I actually like.
The bottle is unusual and I'm not actually very keen on it. It is very solid which doesn't allow for much squeezing. This usually means that the last wee bit of the product will be impossible to get out without cutting up the product.
The bottle opens in an unusual way also! You press the white button and the top pops open. This is quite a nice idea but maybe just allows for it to be broken easily. So far I'm having success with it though.
The face wash itself is a very thick gel. I can't quite place the smell, it's slightly citrusy, but I really like it and it's a lovely clean smell. I dampen my face, dispense a small amount onto my fingers then rub it into my damp skin. The product slightly foams up into a milky residue which smothers my face and really feels like it's cleaning my skin. Rinsing this off is quite a challenge and I find that it's much easier with a facecloth. If I try to use my hands and water the water just slides right off the gel product! With a facecloth you can get a good scrub.
The first time I used this face wash, I knew I loved it. I have now been using this for 2 weeks and I can honestly say I have never tried a product that I like more. When I first starting using this I had a serious break out on my chin. I had 4 or 5 sore spots and nothing seemed to be helping them. After two days of using this twice daily, the redness had gone and they were drying up nicely. It's been 2 weeks now and my skin is perfect!
This is £13 which is pricey for a face wash but I would definitely consider splashing out. I wish the packaging was more used friendly but even that doesn't put me off this lovely, effective skincare.

This looks like a great product! I never got the Miss Glossybox but I'd have liked to see this in the normal Glossybox to be honest but I think for a while they put all their attention into the secondary boxes instead. I'm going on the hunt for this face wash now, it sounds perfect for me x

This looks lovely it's strange that they've put more effort into the miss glossyboxes while glossybox subscribes are left with not very good items! Doesn't make sense I love the look of this face wash though :) x
