The first thing i noticed when i used this was the rather strong herbal scent. Sadly I'm not a fan of these 'earthier' smells and so I can't help but be put off using this, however even if herbal scents are your thing I think it's too strong for face wash - no one wants to put something that strongly scented all over their face!
As far as the mousse element which i thought was interesting, I liked how the wash felt very light on the skin even once rubbed in - I think you probably use a bit more product because of the mousse but I don't mind as you get 150ml for £3.99. But I'd call this more of a foam than a mousse as it's a little to light for a mousse
The real downside of this product for me though was how my skin felt afterwards. The scent lingered - which isn't very surprising, but it also dried my skin out making it feel very tight and leaving me feeling like I still had a light layer of product on my skin.
Overall my skin simply didn't feel clean after use and it did feel uncomforable with a scent that seemed to linger for hours. Will i be repurchasing? no. would i recomend? probably not
P.S am I in the only place in the UK without Snow?!
Ohhh seems like have an AMAZING texture
ReplyDeletehow did the snow miss you?? haha! i do like using mousse-ey products, but yah - strong scents turn me off!
ReplyDeleteahh this is a shame, it looks really good. I hear that the makeup remover form this range is really good. xxx
ReplyDelete@Krystal I know! We just got lots of ice and fog lol
ReplyDelete@Keyta Hawkins ohh I might try that out, thanks!
Too bad it doesn't work for you! Thanks for the review though :)
ReplyDeleteAw that's too bad the product didn't work out for you - scent and the lingering effects :S But thanks for sharing this with us!
ReplyDeleteAww poo, too bad it didn't work...I hate when my skin feels gross after using a product thats supposed to help it

I've tried mousse cleansers before and I always seem to find them quite drying and I suppose the strong scent of this one probably didn't help. I really like the eye makeup remover from Botanics but I think i'll be giving this product a miss xx
ReplyDeleteLovely post!
ReplyDeleteThat was a great review, thanks :) Im feeling you on the snow, we had a tiny tease yesterday but no more, boo! XOXO
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of earthy fragrances either. Also, the snow is all gone here now, just a lot of frost!
ReplyDeleteGreat review. That's disappointing that the cleanser wasn't great. Most stuff by Botanics is generally pretty good.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you live? There isn't any snow here either :/ xx
This sounds pretty cool but I don't like the smell either... hehe~
ReplyDeleteThat's a bummer, the Boots range is usually pretty good. I can't wait till it snows here in New Jersey!
ReplyDeleteI dont think id like the scent!
ReplyDeletei think u might be - i had loads and loads of snow x
ReplyDeletehmm, normally boots stuff is pretty good so it's odd that this wasn't. better luck next time! and we don't have snow in liverpool, it's so upsetting
ReplyDeleteps, i'm having a christmas jumper giveaway (:
Great review! I honestly cannot stand when I use a product and afterwards feel as if my skin is dried out - definitely not the result I'm after. :/
ReplyDelete@Rebecca I know! Everything else from this range has been really nice, I think this is just the odd one out:)
ReplyDelete@Joy in Blackpool, we got a light sprinkling the other day but ti's just fog and ice!! x

doesn't it suck when you buy something and ends up being disappointing? i've had my share of less than par products, so i always find online reviews first lol.
ReplyDeleteI don´t usually go for facial washes which dries out the skin. Too ba dthe result was disappointing because the price was really affordable.
ReplyDeletei got waht you mean - it's more like a foam texture than mousse :)! sorry it didn't work for you though!
ReplyDeleteIt's not easy to find a good cleansing product, I find. I'm not really willing to spend oodles of money on a cleaner, but it mustn't be drying or bad smelling either. I think one of my favourites was Eve Lom's - but waaayy too expensive, sadly.
ReplyDeleteP.S. The snow has left us, too.
I have no snow either!
ReplyDeletehi darling! i prefer cleansing products from the pharmacy too. they have this great brand in scandinavia called aco/cosmica that have really price worthy good products..see that this is bought in a boots store.. i miss that store! i need me some blue eye drops.. they don't have that in sweden.
ReplyDeletehope you're having a good week dear
