I won’t be buying this. Elemis are far too pricey for me and there are far bette products on the market. And I can’t stand Keeley.

I thought you might…Me & @AndiK are going to hold you to this Claire
The Emma Hardie balm is excellent Cashers but it's expensive. I usually wait till Black Friday and cross my fingers that I can get a good price on it.My daughter loves the cleansing balm and the pcmc. Can anyone suggest a good alternative to the Elemis balm please? I'm not buying her this TSV, for the first time in years!! Go me!!
I rate the LE balm over the Emma Hardie which I didn’t like at all.You could also keep an eye on any offers on the new Liz Earle cleansing balm..that's had very good reviews and it's 100ml
That's interesting Claire. I've never tried the LE balm so I might have to invest in some, just for research purposes obviouslyI rate the LE balm over the Emma Hardie which I didn’t like at all.
Aldi’s is the best but it’s a special buy and you have to grab them when you can

As soon as I saw that from Claire, I thought, “Here we go - this is how she starts out …”. Mid-afternoon, she’ll be “I have just checked the stash and I’ve got enough to last me till 2029 so that confirms it” and some time tomorrow, it will be “I just realised I’ve nearly finished the pot I’m using and another one in the cupboard is only a mini …. but I still don’t like Keeley so I am not buying….”. Trouble is, our Claire has got 12 days to talk herself round. I’ll give it till about Tuesday next week when we will get, “I’ve just found a pound coin in my winter coat pocket so I‘m going to treat myself”.Me & @AndiK are going to hold you to this Claire
You know it makes sense…That's interesting Claire. I've never tried the LE balm so I might have to invest in some, just for research purposes obviously
Elemis brings me out in spots to. I am a lot older now and my skin has become much drier but I think its the heavy load of perfume that Elemis use.I’ve just ordered some more of Superdrug’s Optimum collagen
50ml day cream, 50ml night cream, 30ml serum for £22 the lot
Also bought a 15ml eye cream from same range to try. £7.50.
Free p&p too. This doesn’t bring me out in a rash/spots like Elemis does. It’s also a damn lot cheaper.

It’s very heavily perfumed…. Another reason I’m walking away.Elemis brings me out in spots to. I am a lot older now and my skin has become much drier but I think its the heavy load of perfume that Elemis use.
While I think I probably slightly prefer the EH balm to the Aldi one I don't think the EH one lasts as long once it has been opened.You know it makes sense…
I got it when it was discounted and then boots had £10 off LE. So I payed £19 for it. Went back a few times…..
With Aldi’s version so good I’m not prepared to pay full price for these items anymore.

I have never had an EH 100ml tub that hasn't started to crystalise before I get to the end of it but I've never once had that happen with Aldi's version.
EH had a brilliant price on the 200ml pot a few years ago but I didn't get it as I knew it just wouldn't be worth it.
But talking of EH, I actually tried this a couple of years ago and it's probably my favourite. Again, it's definitely overpriced IMO but I do buy when it's on offer. It's basically a gel version of the balm and I really like it.
Elemis is very highly scented and gave me a lot of breakouts. My skin has dried out and I dont get as many but I still get some. I never get spots with Liz Earle ever.I don’t like cleansing balm full stop regardless of brand. Did try the Elemis one, spots spots and more spots, not good on a 70 year old. Went in bin. Tried a few other brands (cheaper) all in bin.
I use Garnier micellar water these days.

That is main reason I have tried very little Elemis, everything seems to have fragrance and in many items it is quite high up ingredients list too!!!It’s very heavily perfumed…. Another reason I’m walking away.
