PHILOSOPHY PURITY THREE-IN-ONE CLEANSER


£17.50 for 236ml from all Boots stores Nationwide

So tonight, featuring on TangledinBeauty is, dare I say, my new holy grail cleanser. Yep, I know that using the HG status is kinda risque, I mean what if I find a new HG cleanser and upset this one, but really guys please try this! Its definitely something that you'll thank me for.

I was given this sample at work one day and after hearing such rave reviews, I was very excited to get home and wash away the day's makeup and grime (ew). Wow, I've never been so impressed with a product upon first use- it was love at first use for sure.

You only need a 20p-sized blob in your palm, lather up under warm water and massage into your face and neck for 30 seconds. Rinse off as you usually would and pat your face dry et voila! Perfectly, squeaky clean skin in 30 seconds. I dare you to take your cotton pad and another cleanser and try to find a scrap of dirt that this cleanser hasn't already removed. I've used this with heavy-coverage makeup and super-heavy eye makeup (I'm talking smokey-eye, eyeliner and 4 coats of mascara) and still, just one rinse and it's all gone.

Another fab thing with this cleanser is the smell; I've heard a lot of people complain about this, however I've really enjoyed the medicinal scent that it gives out. Fair play, this might be slightly too strong for some sensitive noses, but I've not qualms about this whatsoever. 

I've also noticed, and this is the only new product that I've introduced into my skincare regime, that my skin has improved drastically within the last 6 weeks of using this. It's clear and when I do get that occasional pimple, it's just a tiny one that is gone within the day. My skin is also much less red, pretty even and a lot brighter, too. This stuff has worked wonders! 

Also, I really like the fact that they offer different sized bottles; the smaller size retails at £8, the medium bottle around £18 and the largest bottle is around £28. This seems pretty pricey, but let me tell you, I've been using this tiny sample bottle on a daily basis for around 6 weeks now and as you can see, it's about half-way gone. I imagine that the biggest bottle would last for at least 6 months. I really like that you can get it in a sample size- I'm gonna get the big bottle and keep topping the sample bottle up so that I can take it away on holiday/trips without having to lug the big bottle around with me. 

There is only one negative thing that came to mind when reviewing this; the price! Personally, I do think that it's ever so slightly overpriced, however I 100% would pay it purely because of the results that it gives. I think this would definitely put people off purchasing it, but one thing that is great is that when you purchase a full-sized bottle, you get a 'try me' sample and if you don't like it, you can return the big bottle and get your money back. 

Overall, I would say that you're silly not to give this a go- you'll get the sample size and, like I said, you'll get the full refund if you don't like it, although I can almost guarantee that you won't look back!

Have you tried this yet? What did you think to it? xxx
