PRODUCT: The Fab Pore™ Hot Cloth Cleanser
PRICE: (£7-9.00[?]) 14USD (at Target)
PROS: Gives fresh clean feeling, cleans dirt well
CONS: Can irritate eyes
I purchased this back in August and still have a lot left. But recently, I haven't touched this much as I have a different routine for winter seasons. This product is said to be a dupe for Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. Though I don't have it, I can say that its pretty much the same thing. But Soap & Glory is a bit cheaper (Liz Earle is £13.00). I've read some people love this and for others, it just didn't work out for them. For me personally, I'm in between - I don't hate it, but I'm not in love with it either.
With all Soap & Glory packaging, it has this very cutesy, feminine, vintage feel to it. I adore the font & color choices they use for their products as its extremely eye catching. This cleanser comes an silver squeeze tube which makes it handy for travel. I would prefer a flip top but I'm okay with the screw-on cap.
A closer look at the texture.

A nice product, but not something I'll be re-purchasing. I prefer to use cleansing oils and my current favorite is still the Origins Clean Energy Gentle Cleansing Oil.
Target has replaced Soap & Glory with NP and other branded bath sets, so I'm not sure if Soap & Glory will be available again when holidays are over. Just keep a look out.
DISCLAIMER: Product purchased with my own funds. For more, please read my policy and my disclaimer here, thank you.
I unfortunately won't be repurchasing my "The Fab Pore Facial Peel" either. It's ok, but not fabulous, at least for me.
ReplyDeleteNice review!

Thank you for the review. I absolutely love the Liz Earle Hot Cloth Cleanser and this looks very similiar. I'm tempted to try just to see how it compares but the scent is putting me off a bit. I hate products that smell awful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention, I appreciate it. :)
Oh wow, a dupe for Liz Earle! I've been wanting to try Liz Earle for a while, but the price has been quite off-putting. It's always good to hear about dupes. :D Sadly this Soap&Glory one doesn't seem too kind to sensitive skin. :(
ReplyDeleteThis brand was just released at Sephora recently. I have yet to check out the entire range, but the body scrub have been gaining raves :P
ReplyDeleteI don't think this particular product is available though.
Very great review! Too bad it's just mediocre :)
ReplyDeletei actually like soap and glory cosmetics quite abit!! too bad their facial product doesnt sound as great :(
ReplyDeletethe packaging is sooo cute ^^ I wish i can find them here

ReplyDeleteYeah, seems like their face products are a big hit&miss. Their cosmetics are nice though. I was hoping to try more of their stuff before it was replaced. ):

I've heard so many good things about the Liz Earle version, so when I heard that S&G had something similar, I was so excited to give it a try. I agree with you though, products that have a bad smell to them are very off putting. If only it smelled better!
@ littlewing
Definitely, if it could be slightly more gentle, I think those w/sensitive skin might really like this.
@ AtelierGal
Your Sephora sells S&G products? I wish ours did! I've heard good things about the body scrub too! That was next on my list before Target took out S&G.
@ Dina
I know, I had some high hopes because I've never tried hot cloth cleansers before. I gave it to my friend & kept the muslin cloth, lol!
@ Blovet Beauty
I like their cosmetics too! I love sexy mother pucker, lol.
@ Rin
Packaging is definitely a major plus! I think you can order then online. (:
