Since I discovered Superdrug's Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser and found it better than Cleanse & Polish since they changed or took out ingredients, I definitely won't be going for this.
I'm one of those who, this year has been buying cheaper alternatives in skincare. I've tried Emma Hardie, The Ordinary, Dr Nassif when on offer, and of course good old Aldi dupes. Moving slowly away from Elemis and Gatineau and I have to say, my skin has really benefited from the change. There's no way I'd pay £33 for something to wash off your face! I do have to admit though that I'm waiting to see what the Christmas TSV from Elemis will bring us this year, I do love PCMC when all said and done, as does my daughter, so fingers crossed for a good one.It’s a brilliant deal if you use all the products. Which is true of any TSV!
But many of us are finding cheaper alternatives that are just as good or even better than LE. £33 for a tube of C&P is just crazy!
So if you compare to Superdrug, their hot cloth cleanser is £5.99 but always on buy one get one half price. So under £9 for 400mls. Bit better than the £63 for the above set!
Of course, if you still buy all the LE products this is a great deal, as you buy the cream and get the rest free…. But for me, it’s an expensive way to try the cream and I will wait for a 30% discount sale.
Hmmm, let me see. It will be cleansing balm, PCMC, body wash and body cream and don't forget the bagI'm one of those who, this year has been buying cheaper alternatives in skincare.

You're probably right CC, we can but live in hope that Keeley reads the room and we get something different!!Hmmm, let me see. It will be cleansing balm, PCMC, body wash and body cream and don't forget the bag
The days of the exciting Christmas TSVs are long gone sadly.

I’m afraid I’m right there with you regarding the PCMC….nothing comes close and it makes my skin look and feel fabulous!I'm one of those who, this year has been buying cheaper alternatives in skincare.

I wish they wouldn’t do the body stuff….the last one I actually used was a couple of years ago when they did those velvet looking bags, in blue green or red. They looked quite nice but were rubbish of course. I got the Frangipani set which wasn’t too bad but their body stuff isn’t their strong point…Hmmm, let me see. It will be cleansing balm, PCMC, body wash and body cream and don't forget the bag

I think we all know what it will be, the never ending combination of cleanser, PCMC and body products, yawn.I'm one of those who, this year has been buying cheaper alternatives in skincare.

Didn’t like the Superdrug one - but love the Aldi hot cloth cleanser. Smells exactly like cleanse and polish did twenty years ago ( zingy) although it seems to be out of stock everywhereI use LE although I did try the recent Gatineau TSV but found I still prefer LE so returned it.I was going to try the new moisturiser but I like the original Superskin so haven’t bothered.May go for the TSV as I like the Neroli C&P but am going in search of the Superdrug one following your glowing reports!

They are a lovely brand. Never actually used many of the products as they have rose in them, which I cannot use on my face.I just received this as part of a gift and it's lovely. Scent reminiscent of C&P. Accompanying (bamboo) cloth of finer texture than LE. Really rate it.
