Soothing Cleanser & Refiner:

Botanical Peeling Gel: 

Verdict: Soothing Cleanser & Refiner

I've trialled this before and unfortunately wasn't wowed by it, but I've tried to keep an open mind over the past six weeks while I've been using this 15ml travel size.

After the second time around, I have to confirm that this is probably the only Eslor product I've tried so far that I don't like. It doesn't feel as though it does much, and my skin doesn't feel fresh and clean after use (which is what I personally look for in a cleanser). It may be that it's just too gentle for me.

I'd be interested to hear what others think of this product. It was included in a recent Birchbox (see reviews here) and it's obviously popular, so as usual it all comes down to personal opinion.

I think this would be a great product to trial if you suffer from sensitive skin.

Verdict: Botanical Peeling Gel

I really like this. It goes on thickly, has a nice smell and feels lovely on - caramelly or something. You feel like you're doing your skin a favour each time you apply it.

While I enjoy using it, I haven't seen any major after-effects yet. On Eslor's website, this gel is listed as an exfoliant; I prefer the Replenishing Scrub for that purpose. Again, maybe because it's a bit 'rougher' and really feels like it gets the job done. But if you have sensitive skin and want a gentle exfoliant that still delivers results, this may be the product for you.

In terms of 'mask' products (and you do leave this on for a while, so in that sense it's like a mask), I prefer Eslor's Chlorophyll Lifting Mask (see my review here). Having said this, my skin definitely looks and feels a bit nicer after use - fresher and brighter - it's just that the gel doesn't seem to have the same impact as the chlorophyll product.
