 Crabtree &amp; Evelyn La Source Conditioning Hand Wash 250ml
Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Conditioning Hand Wash 250ml
Gently cleanse your hands with the soothing goodness of the Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Conditioning Hand Wash, a rich and compensating lather enriched with sea algae and seaweed extracts. Keep this handy pump in the bathroom or kitchen for a dose of conditioning plant extracts that work to heal and protect the hands. The pH balanced formulation won't dry hands out, instead working to soften and smooth the skin without tightness. The soft and restful fragrance of lavender, mint and herbs makes for a beautiful cleansing experience.

I love the fragrance of all the La Source products, they remind me of being near the sea. This is a good hand wash, as it doesn't dry out my hands. It lathers well which is great because I live in a 'hard water' area. With some hand washes there's hardly a bubble in sight, but this is great.

I don't have a particularly dry or sensitive skin, but some body washes for some reason make the skin on my elbows, knees and ankles itch like mad. This one doesn't do that. I guess it's probably to do with the Aloe. I love the fragrance, it's just like being beside the sea. It's gentle and effective and yay no itching.

"If you're worried about using facial oils on your oily or combination skin, you should try the Clarins Lotus Face Treatment Oil - it has a very lightweight texture that sinks into the skin in seconds." - Kate, Escentual Beauty Team.   Why You'll Love The Clarins Lotus Oil: Naturally astringent facial oil for combination or oily skin. Best-selling formula designed to balance the complexion. Helps to purify the skin, tighten pores and refine texture. Softens, soothes and seals in moisture whilst preventing fine lines. Features 100% pure plant extracts.   What You Need To Know: The Clarins Lotus facial oil blends high-performance skincare with the mood-boosting benefits of aromatherapy. While releasing a natural herbaceous scent, the Lotus Face Treatment Oil for combination or oily skin uses a blend of pure plant extracts and essential oils to help balance your skin. Rosemary, clary sage and sweet-scented geranium essential oils unite to purify the skin while rebalancing lotus oil helps normalise serum production and refine skin texture. The facial oil also features organic lemon oil following a 2022 reformulation, which kills bacteria that may get trapped in pores and cause breakouts. But that's not all; Clarins' facial oil also nourishes and softens the complexion using hazelnut oil for supple, satin-smooth results.   Why It's Escentual: It might feel daunting to add facial oils to your complexion when it already looks greasy due to excess oil. But the Clarins Lotus Face Oil is here to change your mind and show you the benefits of using facial oils - whatever your skin type. This best-selling formulation is naturally astringent, which means that it helps cleanse the skin and dry out excess oil. But it also ensures your skin gets a boost of hydration, thanks to hazelnut oil - yes, it's important to keep oily skin hydrated; otherwise, it might be tempted to produce extra oil to make up for the fact it lacks moisture. But what does the Clarins Lotus facial oil feel like on the skin? Surprisingly lightweight! It sinks in quickly to get to work on purifying and rebalancing your skin without making your complexion feel greasy or overloaded. Plus, we love that the design features a sleek pipette dispenser. Not only does it make application quick and easy, but it also means that you can work out exactly how much your skin needs and dispense the same amount each time you apply.   The Best Way To Use It: Use in the morning and/or evening after cleansing. Apply a small amount to the face and neck whilst your skin is still damp from using a toner, paying special attention to areas of concern. Take care to avoid the eye contour during application. To remove excess, lay a tissue on the face before following up with moisturiser.   The Sustainable Side: The Lotus Face Treatment Oil is held in a bottle made from 40% recycled glass. It can also be recycled after use, along with the outer carton, made using cardboard sourced from sustainably-managed forests.

I've used this for years now, and it's the most effective treatment oil I've used. I've tried others of course, but they're not a patch on Clarins. It's easy to apply, has a gorgeous fragrance, and a little goes a very long way. My skin in the morning feels really soft and supple. A great product and with Escentual as always, an amazing price.

This is as described, a lovely summer fragrance. It's light, refreshing, and beautiful, but still has a hint of the heady scent of the original Classique. The bottle is stunning. For those who prefer something lighter for day time use, this is for you.

I use the La Source hand products, and based on that I've given it 5 stars. This kit I bought especially for a friend who is an avid gardener, and has always got her hands in dirt and other yucky stuff gardeners get their hands into. Sometimes her hands look an absolute fright, so in order to get her to do something about them, I've got her this kit. Hopefully she'll love it as much as I love the La Source.

I've used these 2 products for years now, and used regularly really do make a difference to my hands. I sometimes put cotton gloves on overnight after using the hand cream, and my hands the following morning look and feel really soft and smooth. The fragrance is lovely too. This mini kit I bought for a friend to try.

This is probably one of the best lip products I've used. I wanted to it put on over moisturiser and before foundation and lippy, but was a tad bit concerned it would be a bit greasy, but it's not. It goes on easily and sinks in without leaving residue. It leaves my lips soft and smooth and doesn't dry my skin out as with some products I've used. The spatula is a real help as well, as I've got long finger nails, and it would be a nightmare getting to the bottom of the pot. A real must.

I've used this particular gloss for a long time, tried others along the way, but always go back to Clarins. I use the Apricot which on its own gives just a sheer wash of colour, but looks good over lipsick to give it a subtle shine. It's moisturising and leaves my lips really soft. You get a lot of gloss for your money in this little tube. Well worth it.

This is a lovely shower gel with a really fresh invigorating fragrance. In fact I love all Clarins shower goodies. As with most Clarins products, a little goes a long way. I will be stocking up over the year to give as Xmas presents, as all my friends really love it as well.

Clarins Instant Eye Make-Up Remover gently and quickly removes waterproof make-up. With 75% of ingredients from natural origin, the bi-phase cleanser is enriched with panthenol which helps to protect the lashes. The non-greasy texture is gentle to the fragile skin around your eyes whilst still removing even heavy make-up.

For me, this is the best eye make up remover I've ever used. It does exactly what it's meant to do. It's non irritating, and a little goes a long way. Eye make up comes off really easily without rubbing. It leaves the skin round my eyes soft with no oily residue like some I've used. It has a lovely fragrance and is so easy to use. Another hero product for me....
