I received a £15 Boots voucher from my gorgeous friend Zoe for Christmas so I spent it on Soap and Glory products (standard). Peaches and Clean was something I had been umming and arrgghhhing about spending on for a while now. I hadn't seen that many rave reviews and it seemed to be a product that not many people were talking about (or maybe I simply had my head under a rock?). Then one night I must have watched about 20 YouTube videos - mostly Miss. Budget Beauty ones (still on my penny-pinching mission from my bout of unemployment). She raved about this cleanser. It was in most of her videos that I watched, in some mention or another. So I bought it.
I genuinely love it.
The packaging is the usual Soap and Glory fare: pink, feminine, eye-catching and unmistakable on any shelf whether instore or at home. It comes with a pump which is ideal for dispensing the product and allows a decent amount to come out of the bottle so only a few pumps is enough for an entire wash. I can foresee the tube for the pump being too small to reach to the bottom of the bottle (this is something that happens in most Soap and Glory bottled products for reasons unknown to logic) but that won't be a problem as it's plastic packaging so I can cut it in half to scoop the remainder out. Its got a smooth consistency but not really the fluidity of 'milk' as its name would suggest.
The cleanser can be put onto the face without having to be foamed up under water and cuts through any amount of makeup you want it to - unless you're wearing some seriously heavy duty foundation. Then you may need to wash twice (although I wouldn't recommend it for eye makeup because it just bloody hurts when it gets in the eyes - usual clumsy me!).
It smells like a combination of fresh mint and peaches. I wasn't that keen on the scent at first but it grew on me - I think this was more because I was so used to the Soap and Glory scent being sweet rather than minty but I really like it now.
My skin has become softer and clearer over the time I've been using this product (roughly three weeks now). This probably has something to do with all of the fruit acids listed as active ingredients. It also claims to shrink pores which I didn't really believe that it could do but I have noticed that some of the pores on my T-Zone seem to be smaller if not gone all together. I'm not really a girl that stands and deliberately takes notice of my pores but I guess if they're not there any more then I'm more than happy to continue being ignorant about them most of the time.
I can't recommend this cleanser highly enough to be honest. Not only is it affordable and comes from a reputable brand but it actually works and does what it says it will - a rarity in this day and age when everything claims it can sing and dance...
I got this for Christmas in the 'Best of All' S&G set! I've not tried it yet but I'm quite excited to now after reading this!

DeleteLove love love this cleanser! I'm currently on my third bottle! I didn't use it for a bit because I ran out and my skin definitely wasn't as good now, I won't be without it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm getting the same way! I already have my second bottle in stock! Haha! Love it :) xxx

Thanks Grace! Ahh you need to try it! Its amazing! Maybe as a treat for after your spending ban? xxx
DeleteI bought this for my niece & she's loving it too :)
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear that - I'm surprised you haven't taken a look at it Andy :) xxx
DeleteAh I have this from the best of all gift set at Christmas and I'm still unsure. My skin does feel really clean after each use, but it does leave my skin feeling slightly irritated too and I prefer a cleanser that is a bit more sensitive around the eye area?! Not giving up though and hoping my skin gets used to it. ;-) SX.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get used to it too - would be such a shame otherwise. Maybe its all the fruit acids that are sensitizing your skin? Thanks for commenting though :) xxx
DeleteI got this for christmas and have been using it every night, I still use it on eye make up and love it!
ReplyDeleteMy eyes must just be sensitive then. Glad you love it though! xxx
DeleteI'm so excited to use this! I got it as part of a Christmas present and was umming and aahing over it, thanks for recommending! :) x
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome - I really hope you enjoy using it :) xxx
DeleteI love this stuff and it lasts for ages! Def worth the money :D xxx
ReplyDeleteAgree! For £7 you can't really go wrong when some high end cleansers cost four times as much and don't do anything :) xxx
DeleteI've been meaning to try this for a while! I think you've convinced me now :) x
ReplyDeleteI hope so - let me know how you get on if you do try it :D xxx
