This is LUSH’s evil facial cleanser as far as I’m concerned. First off, it smells HORRIBLE—a fishy smell combined with a heavy perfumey soap smell. The texture is gross and leaves a film on my skin. Also, though it is made for drier, more sensitive skin, it made my face feel tight and it kind of stung (and I have oily skin!). I don’t know if I’m allergic to something in it or what, but this doesn’t work for me at all.

You wouldn’t think that a soapless detergent-free squishy lump of pink putty would clean your face effectively, but it really does, and it makes your skin feel lovely and soft. It’s very calming and soothing too, as it’s packed full of . The one drawback is the seaweedy, slightly fishy smell, but it’s worth it. I just had a tester pot of this, and I’m still working my way through a tub of Herbalism, but I think once that’s gone I’ll get a full-sized chunk of this and try it out in the longer term.
