I must admit I can be a little 'safe' when it comes to skincare, and I didn't know a lot about Soap & Glory's facial skincare range (other than that my mum loves the Micellar Water), so I was intrigued when I had the opportunity to try the Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk* (£8) and Face Soap & Clarity Vitamin C Facial Wash* (£8). In these two products you pretty much have your morning and your evening cleanse.
The Face Soap is a gel formula, so it's something I find refreshing to use in the morning. 'Soap' may be a little misleading as I don't find it harsh or drying at all, perhaps because of the dose of Vitamin C you get with this. However I would probably still say it's more something I'd recommend for combination or oily skin types. This does a really good job of cleaning any dirt, sweat (or even residual makeup from the day before!) and refreshing your skin for the day ahead. It also lathers really nicely, which I wasn't expecting as so often gel facial skincare doesn't really foam. You don't need to use loads and loads of this, just a pea sized amount, or it may dry your skin out a little.
I'm pretty much obsessed with cleansing oils, butters and gels that 'melt' your makeup away so I was really excited about the Cleansing Milk as it's not a formula I've tried before. This definitely didn't disappoint and could well be a favourite out of all the ones I've tried! As much as I love the other kinds of cleanser, I do realise that the slipperiness of an oil-based formula isn't for everyone. If you're not too keen on that then this is the perfect solution as this stays as a lotion/milk and somehow melts your makeup without emulsifying. It's also probably the most gentle and comfortable cleanser of this type I've tried on my eyes. It really does remove everything and leaves my skin feeling soft and plump afterwards.
I really wasn't sure what to expect from Soap & Glory's skincare. I have to confess that the reason I didn't try it sooner was because I thought it might be too fragranced and irritate my skin but it didn't at all. I've been very pleasantly surprised at how much I've enjoyed using these products this past fortnight and I look forward to trying some more bits from their range. The price really is amazing for the huge bottles you get and these have to be two of my favourite budget skincare products right now.
Have you tried Soap & Glory Skincare?
Ooh I've not seen either of these before, but the cleansing milk sounds great for my skin type! I'm so impressed with Soap & Glory at the moment, and like you say, the amount of product you get is fab! :)

I love the cleansing milk - hope you do too :) xx
DeleteThese look great! :)
ReplyDeleteI saw them a few weeks back in Boots, being advertised as having bigger bottles than usual but I didn't buy them as I hadn't read any reviews so thank you for this Jasmine!
Mollie,xo \\\ The Fashion Of Craft
Yeah I think they may have been a little re-formulated too as the names are now slightly different! xx
DeleteI didn't realise Soap & Glory did facial skincare! I love the sound of the Cleansing milk. It sounds really gentle. I have just bought another Hot Cloth Cleanser from Liz Earle so will have to use that up and then try out this one! x

I must admit it wasn't really on my radar before! But now it is :) xx
DeleteI've seen the Peaches & Clean Cleansing Milk before, a long while before I was realy into these kinds of cleanser myself. I'm actually coming to the end of my current cream cleanser so I'll have a good study of these in Boots next time I nip in. I must agree that I'm always a little cautious of scented products although my own skin rarely reacts to fragrance, but as you've given them the thumbs up I'll have likely have a go with them anyway!

Hope you love them :) xx
DeleteGreat post definitely giving the cleansing milk a try.
ReplyDeleteUltimelt hot cloth cleanser is amazing! Been using it religiously for the last 3 months and it's lovely! X
Hope you enjoy :) xx
DeleteI already love the Soap &Glory micellar and have been using it religiously since its release; I'm actually having trouble getting hold of a new bottle currently though. I love the sound of these two, do you know if they've changed the formula alongside the packing? The gel cleaner was one I used to use a few years back and always enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteKristy | www.thevioletblonde.com
I haven't ever tried the original smaller bottles but I did notice them listed separately on the Boots website with slightly different names so I think there may be some small differences in the formula! xx
DeleteI am absolutely dying to get my hands on the cleansing milk but it's forever sold out! I have tried their self heating mask and really enjoyed it x
ReplyDeleteJordan | Keep Dreaming ♥
I'll have to give that a go! The cleansing milk is well worth hunting down :) xx
DeleteI'm using cleansing milk too to cleanse my base makeup! I agree with you, I like using that kind of formula rather than the oil type.

Oh Dear Bumblebees
It really is so gentle and slightly cooling - love it :) xx
DeleteI love Soap & Glory, haven't tried their skin care though. Mainly body stuff and some makeup.
ReplyDeleteWanted to try the facial wash, but I have normal to dry skin so might not be for me.
Roxy xox | www.splashesofvogue.com
If you're usually fine with gel formulas I think you will still like this one :) xx
DeleteI also thought that the S&G skincare would be too fragranced for my sensitive skin to handle! The cleansing milk sounds perfect for me though! x
ReplyDeleteLauren | http://whatlaurendidtoday.blogspot.co.uk/
Hope you like it :) xx
DeleteI love the S&G Makeup range but i haven't tried anything from the skincare section. After reading this i will be checking some out next time im in Boots x
ReplyDeleteEmma | Emmys Blog
Definitely worth checking out! xx
DeleteI love soap and glory so I definitely have to try these out
ReplyDeletewww.misslaurenmorgan.blogspot.co.uk
Me too - they really can do no wrong for me at the moment! xx
DeleteThese look great. S&G do some amazing products x
ReplyDeletewww.pintsizedbeauty.com
Lovely post! I also thought that those S&G products would irritate my skin, but the products sound so lovely. I will definitely have a look at their skincare range next time I'm in Boots!

DeleteI've never used skincare from S&G and honestly, I didn't even know they really offered skincare like this! I love the look of the cleansing milk, I definitely want to give that a go! :)
ReplyDeleteSarah / Sarah Smiles
Yeah it really wasn't on my radar either but I'm so impressed with these! xx
DeleteI love the sound of the cleansing milk, sounds like the perfect thing for my ridiculously dehydrated skin! Such a huge fan of the body range from S&G so I think this needs to be in my life :)

My skin is really dehydrated too - it works so well for that :) xx
DeleteI really want to try more Soap & Glory skincare as I love their body stuff :) that Peaches & Clean cleanser sounds right up my street, and love that the bottle is so huge as I'm always running out of my Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish in the 100ml tube!!
ReplyDeleteKat | www.kathorrocks.com
I feel like these are going to last me a year or something haha xx
DeleteI actually love Soap & Glory's skin care range! Their products are non-drying and even add extra moisture, their cleansing lotion is fab! Removes all excess makeup and leaves my face feeling cleaner and softer! I love that unlike most companies, they've actually made their products bigger for the previous price/slightly more!
ReplyDeleteDanielle | http://www.ashiploadofpolish.co.uk/ x
Yeah I feel like it almost never happens that way round but it's even better value now :) xx
DeleteLOVE peaches and clean! I use it everyday! Love these bottles too, so cute!
ReplyDeletexprincessjas | ♥
It's become an everyday staple for me too :) xx
DeleteI haven't tried anything from the S&G skincare range but these two do sound like lovely products and you get a massive amount of product! :) x
ReplyDeleteBrenda BusyBee
They're seriously great value! xx
DeleteI'm yet to try any skincare or bodycare from soap and glory but I definitely think I will have to check a few bits out having read this! Gorgeous photography by the way!
ReplyDeleteHeather, porcelainbeautyx
You need to go get yourself a nice selection of both ;) haha xx
DeleteI have the Clarity Vitamin C Facial Wash - I think I shouldn't be using it everyday, it broke me out! :(
ReplyDeletewww.angerawrs.co.uk
Oh no :( xx
DeleteI need to give them a try. Thanks for sharing. xx

DeleteThe cleansing milk sounds great! I wish Soap & Glory's full range was available in the states. For now just there body lotions and some lip products. I'd love to check it out though.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.lipstickisalife.com/
Definitely stock up on their body products and lip products in the meantime! xx
DeleteI adore everything I've tried from soap and glory! ^_^
ReplyDeleteThe SPF is a great dupe for more expensive ones and the eye cream is super moisturising and effective for the night-time. Defo want to try the micellar water from their range, great review of these two products <3
Iqra |The Blushing Giraffe x
I need to try both of these! xx
DeleteI have only tried their makeup and body care range! I am now intrigued by their skincare one! Now that I am based in the UK it will be easier to try out S&G products! Adding these to my to-try list! Xx
ReplyDeleteAlexandra | Glam O’Clock
I was the same too - it's well worth a look! xx
DeleteOhhhh these look very interesting!! I absolutely love Soap and Glory although I have never tried their skincare. Their body care and makeup is top notch so I am sure this will be equally good or better. The scrub looks like something I would love and I am keeping an eye out for the Micellar water too...xx
ReplyDeleteI want to try the micellar water next too :) xx
DeleteYeah the range is well worth a look :) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat review, really want to try some Soap and Glory skincare so this really helped! xx
