Lush Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser

After such a glowing review status and a cult following I was so happy to finally get into a store a pick up a tub of Lush Angels on Bare Skin Cleanser but after getting it home and using it I am finding it really hard to use the rest of it.

Coming in the classic Lush black pottle with the iconic white chalk writing upon it, this cleanser sits inside it like a ball of clay ready to be used. Following the instructions I took a small piece of the product out of the tub and rubbed between my fingers which was a little tricky as it was incredibly crumbly and full of gritty material and herbal matter. Finally making it ply-able I run it over my face and massaged in, the first thing that hit me was the smell so incredibly strong and reminded me of Fishermans Friend, it was very off putting to the point I was feeling myself gag to get it washed off. This was so strange as in the pot it smells a little herbal but nothing off putting.

Once washed off my skin was feeling very clean and there was no over drying or oiling of areas, at first. I wash my face after work at around 6pm and then put my skincare on just as I climb into bed to allow my skin time to relax and breath, in this time I had developed so much greasy oil in my t-zone that I had to re-wash my face, there is no other cause of this other than the lush cleanser.

So the fact that it makes me feel sick from the smell when using it and that it made me an oily mess in the matter of a mere few hours, I have found it really hard to even like this product, unable to give it any good points. This might be down to my skin type and my own preferences of fragrances so it may suit others, who love it, but for me I just can not even use it again.

I was a little unsure how my skin would react to this as it can be temperamental sometimes but this cleanse has been amazing. It really helped to clear my skin up with the way it gently exfoliates and soothes my skin. For me this contains just the right amount of ground almond etc that it doesn't over scrub my face. As soon as I stopped using this after it ran out my skin started to break out again so I am a multiple re-purchaser of this.

When I use this I break some off and then run a little bit of water over it before putting it on my damp face. This seems to help make it easier to work with and to move around my face. I love the lavender smell of this cleanser, its great to use just before bed.

This is a great easy to use product and the tubs are really handy to use and to keep once empty for bits and bobs. I will continue to purchase this amazing cleanser.

This is one of my favorite cleansers ever! The pot that it comes in is great and it comes with a lot of product, especially because you only need a pea sized amount per use.

It lives up to all it's claims, providing a gentle cleanse and exfoliate with soothing properties for all skin types. My skin is combination oily-dry, and it works great for me!

The packaging is average, a small black screw pot which holds the cleanser roll. One of the god things about this is that if you have 5 of these black pots you get a free face mask, which is great and really promotes recycling.

The scent is also lovely, a fresh natural smell that just makes the experience better. It cleanses nicely, not over-drying my skin but still getting out all the dirt and oil that's there.

I will be buying this again as soon as I can afford it, as it is quite pricey for me but the benefits just win me over. I can definitely tell why this is a classic favorite of Lush.

This was my first lush product I have tried and I love it!! I purchased this online as I have very acne prone skin. I have struggled for so long with my skin and I seen a review about it online so decided to try it for myself. Since I started using it I have noticed my skin has started to clear up. after using it I also do see the redness reduces and my face feels so clean and soft. Also I love the earthy scents they use. I think its worth the money, although they do have $9 flat rate shipping they do send you a few samples of other products. I will definately be repurchasing! And look forward to trying other products they have at lush

My skin is not very problematic so I usually stick with supermarket cleansers - therefore I was a bit hesitant about spending $19 on this but I am so glad I did! A little goes a long way so 1 pot lasts me a few months. As I said my skin isn't very problematic so I'm not going to claim this took me from acne covered to flawless but what it did do was minimise those little bumps I had on my face which I can only assume are made up of something gross stuck under the skin!

I've been wanting to find a cleanser that wasn't too harsh on my skin, didn't strip my skin of too many oils, but still gives my skin a proper clean by getting rid of all the dirt and excess oil on my face. Yes, sounds like a hard task but this cleanser ticks all the boxes! I'd heard a lot about this cleanse and saw some great reviews on here, so I decided to go into Lush and have a look at this product.

This cleanser throughly cleans my skin and gently exfoliates the dead skin away. It's not too harsh either and is gentle enough to use on a daily basis. After using this my face feels soft and silky and refreshed. I have oily combination skin, and had very dry skin in winter. I have been using this product for about three months, and found it suitable to use on both dry and oily skin types. It didn't leave my skin feeling dry or tight, but my skin felt clean afterwards and there was no oily residue left on my skin. I have really sensitive skin and didn't have any bad reactions to this product. I have had reactions to other Lush products though, so if you have sensitive skin I would recommend asking for a sample first. I haven't noticed a difference in the redness on my face, and I still get pimples on my chin and forehead, but I have noticed that this cleanser has improved the texture of my skin, it feels softer and smoother.

The texture of this cleanser feels like soft cookie dough, a clay like texture. I usually rinse my face with water first to dampen it then pinch off about a pea size of the cleanser, and rub it between my hands so it dissolves a little then spread over my face. Because of the soft texture I found that the cleaner melts easily, so I would advise you not to store it in the shower, as it will start to melt. I only use this cleanser in the morning (I have my shower at night so use a different cleanser), and don't use it to take make up off. I wouldn't recommend relying on this as a cleanser to remove make up, because it gets a bit messy on your skin when using it, and it would be difficult using it on your eyes. But I imagine it would be able to remove foundation.

Overall, I really this cleanser was really effective and I would definitely recommend it. The small pot lasted me about 3-4 months, it is a bit more expensive than my normal cleanser but worth it seeing that its made from natural ingredients.

This cleanser is so lovely and gentle on the skin. I really enjoyed using this as my daily cleanser. Didn't break me out and provided a gentle exfoliation. It really does make your skin feel clean, but never stripped.

This is seriously a pot of gold! It's super gentle on sensitive skin but still gives a beautiful exfoliant. I am a huge fan of lush products and this is one that I keep repurchasing. It doesn't dry out my dry skin and it smells absolutely beautiful!
