Aside from the very obvious mahousive difference in price these two cleansers are really very, very good. I am never really sure which I prefer, both do an excellent job. Eve Lom has her 7 steps to cleansing (little leaflet that comes in the box) which involves massage and the like, then washing off with the cotton cloth. Liz Earle doesn't have any 'instructions' but does also have a (slightly inferior) cotton cloth. The Eve Lom definitely feels like it is 'doing you good' and is especially good if you are wallowing in a hot bath (with a glass of vino) and want to feel loved - Liz Earle is a far more functional product. One thing I would say in favour of Liz Earle's cleanser is it has a nice pump bottle, so you don't have to dip your grubby mitts in it to get it out. I always feel slightly cheated when I have to actually put my hands into a pot of cleanser - sort of defeating the object if you know what I mean?
The Eve Lom has a slightly waxy texture and is very slightly granular too. When Eve Lom first bought it out she advocated that you used her cleanser and no other products at all. The cleanser was enough, and you shouldn't sully your face with anything else. No moisturisers nada zilch! However, since the business sold out - of course there are all sorts of creams, lotions and potions all with Eve Lom's name on to use after the cleanser! I sort of think that if Eve Lom dictated that her cleanser was enough, that was its own USP and they should have stuck with it.
Liz Earle has a more creamy texture with a nice smell and is doesn't need to be 'worked in' to the skin - it has won trillions (small, but only small exaggeration!) and is very reasonably priced. It rinses off very easily and leaves no residue on the skin.
For ever day I would chose Liz Earle - for those wallowing in the bath moments - Eve Lom. I have super dry skin, and Eve Lom always takes the edge off the dryness.
