It would be easy to say that I couldn't love this cleanser any more if it sang for Duran Duran or the Chili Peppers but let's play fair and give it the whole review as usual... :)

'A powerful, invigorating detoxifying cleanser for oily or problematic skin.'

Tested on animals/sold in China?
No. Carries the Leaping Bunny logo.
Who is it for?
'Oily or problematic skin.' If ever there was proof positive that you can always read beyond the label - whilst this would undoubtedly be a brilliant cleanser for oily/problematic skins, it is also a fabulous product to use first thing in the morning or second cleanse in the evening for all skin types except maybe the extremely sensitive - in which case I would still suggest trying to patch test it/get a sample.
As the UK moves into Spring/Summer I imagine I will use this even more.
If you have acne/combo skin it's a no-brainer. As with all things though - testing/sampling is advisable to any compromised skin.
How do you use it?
Apply to dry skin - massage in, remove with flannel.
First or second/only cleanse?
As above - this is not a makeup remover for me. It would be no good for the eye area. Second cleanse or morning cleanse - if you are a gym-goer, either early moring or after work, you'll love the feel and effect of this.
What's good/not so good about it?
This is a soap-free cleanser that has good, proven clays such as kaolin and montmorillonite along with magnesium aluminum silicate (white clay) alongside fruit enzymes and sugars. Put altogether the mix is a glorious sensation on the skin.
I love this cleanser. Being completely honest, if you follow me on Instagram you'll see from my daily posts that I literally use something from the Tata Harper range every single day. It's by far my favourite range of the moment. Kate Somerville needs to hurry back to the UK, I'm already sleeping with the enemy. :)
If I had to stick with one range of cleansers for life, it would be any from the Tata Harper range. They are seriously that good.
The only problem with this range at the moment is the lack of distribution. Some retailers need to wake the hell up.
