"Great Teen moisturiser"
This is a great product. Since having my daughter 18months ago my skin has regressed back to the teen like status it once had...oily! I thought black heads were a thing of the past but they're back and this moisturiser did help. it smelt lovely and clean and absorbed beautifully. You didn't need to use much to get good coverage which means the more expensive price tag will last you quite a while. The only problm I had other than accidently getting it in my eye once..Owww, (don't try it), was that after a week or two the less oily areas of my face were a bit dry and I was then needing a second moisturiser to compensate.
Costs a bit looks and smells nice but if you have combination skin prob not gonna benefit you as much as if you have an oily complection. Would've killed for this when I was a teen!

"not the best"
I had the pure and clear wipes and ive got to say these wernt the best wipes I have used. Although the first couple of times using them I thought they were fantastic after just a couple of days my skin felt dry which defeated the whole object of these. The smell was also quite overpowering and definetly not what I expected.
I was dissapointed with this particular product and dont think I would recommend these to friends. And at 5.30 they arnt cheap either.

"blemish gel "
I really liked this product my skin felt really nice and smooth after just a few days, which was great. Really easy to apply and use too. This gets a big thumbs up apart from one let down, the price. I think its quite expensive when there is plenty more out there to use with much better price tags. Overall though did quite like this one and though it did exactly what it was supposed to do :)

"Smells fantasic!!!!"
I have been using the Nelsons facewash for over 2 weeks now and I am very impressed with the product.
Smells lovely, lathers on face well, very good on my black heads and the bottle seems to last forever could def see a differents in my skin after 1 week.
Good value for money and I will be buying this product in the future.

"Facial Wipes - Disappointing"
I received the facial wipes and at first felt quite impressed by them, the packaging was lovely and complimentary to the product, the sticky seal didnt fade or fall off after using a few times and the actual wipes were very easy to pull out of the pack and use where as with others Ive found it all too eay to pull out 3/4 at a time instead of just one.
The first time I opened the pack I was hit by an overwhelming smell of what Im assuming was Tea Tree Oil which Im certainly not a fan of, so that put me off using the wipes straight away. Once Id gotten over the smell and used one I was quite impressed with how easy they removed dirt/makeup etc. But after a while of using them, my skin felt itchier and a little dry on my face and my childrens and we all smelt of Tea Tree which we really didnt like so we stopped using them. Wouldnt purchase myself from the shop especially not for the overly expensive price of £7 they are wanting to charge.

"Would use again"
After using the daily wash for a couple of weeks I found it made my skin feel very soft after the first few days but did seem to dry it out a little after a while but I do have fairly sensitive skin.
I think it has quite a pleasant mild smell, I sometimes find the smell of tea tree a little overpowering but this wasn't so is a plus.
As I was using it in the first 3 months of pregnancy it did help with some blemishes, damn hormones :)
I would use this product again, maybe for a week at a time then a little break so as not to dry my skin out.
I think it is maybe a little expensive at £7.00. I would be happy to pay about £5.00. Although it would last a while as you only need to use a small amount each time.

"Not to bad!"
I have been using this product now for a week. I like how soft it makes the skin after using it, but by the end of the day my skin does start to feel really dry.
It has helped a little with blemishes which makes me feel a bit more confident!
I would recommend this product, but personally would only use it every other day.
Oh and at £7 a bottle i find over priced! I would prob pay £4-£5 for it!

"Not keen"
I received the facial wipes and was a bit disappointed in them really. They smelt of tea tree which I quite like and felt quite thick instead of thin and flimsy. I used them for 2 weeks and at the beginning they left my skin feeling clean and refreshed but by the end of the 2 weeks my skin was starting to sting a little bit (I do sometimes suffer with sensitive skin). They did dry my skin out slightly too so moisturising after was a must. I think they're fairly expensive compared to other brands on the market so I very much doubt I would buy them myself.

"so-so"
Well impressed with packaging (sometimes I find the sticky seal on wipes loses it's stickiness and so wipes dry out - couldn't happen with these!) Initially I was very impressed (despite the strong smell of tea tree oil). The wipes didn't leave my face greasy which some wipes do, however, I did after several days get a spot (which I don't often get) and became quite sensitive under my eyes when using the wipes. They do also seem expensive compared to similar products!

"facial wipes"
i have been using the facial wipes for 2 weeks and have found them ok but not value for money .The smell didnt bother me as i like tea tree smell but would proberly put others off. The best bit was they never aggravated my skin as i can be prone to sensitive skin during winter so was pleased with this did leave skin a bit dry making moisterising after is a must .

"not too sure"
I tested nelsons pure and clear facial wash, First of all the bottle is clear and you have to squeze it to get the product out its a strange colour not very appealing i think it would be better in a bottle that you cant see through. You use a small amount on damp skin basically wash your face with it morning and night. I think it smells quite strong abit off putting really you get the feeling that if you got it in your eye it would sting although they do advise you to stay away from the eye area. When you first use the product and pat dry your face it makes your face feel really soft for a few minutes so at first i was really impressed but a few minutes later my skin started feeling dry and tight (very odd) its almost like its dried my skin out. I think you definatley need to follow with the moisturiser from the range i may buy that to see if it makes a difference. Over all i think its expensive at £7 a bottle and would probably stick to something cheaper. If the results had been worth it and it had left my skin feeling soft i might have been happy to pay abit extra for the product.

"not to sure about this one!"
I tested the moisturiser anti-blemish care, after using it for a few days my skin did feel alot smoother and looked more refreshed, but I wasn't keen on the smell and i'm not sure people would buy this product as their are lots on the market that are cheaper and work well.

"good product"
i recieved the facial wipes and the blemish gel. i have to say the wipes did feel dry and left my face feeling tight and dry so i did use a moisturiser afterwards, the tea tree smell was a bit strong aswell, and £5 is a lot of money to spend on wipes when you can get an alternative that does the same thing for cheaper.
Now the blemish gel worked well with clearing my skin of redness and spots and you couldnt really smell it as much as the wipes which was good, but i do feel for £8 its a bit steep and i would just buy an cheaper alternative. i would buy this product if it was at a more reasonable price.

"wipes and blemish gel!!"
I thought these products were great if not a little expensive.i have been using them for just over a week and have noticed a change to my skin..it is clearer and looks alot healthier.I was worried as the wipes felt a little dry when uing them and the blemish cream did tingle when applying to the softer areas on my face, however it really has worked.
The packaging is a little dull but i like how it shows you which stage you are doing ie the wipes are step 1.
I really like this product but Im worried about the price as there are cheaper brands around,will probably treat myself to this in the weeks i have money and the cheaper ones at other times...will stock up if they are ever on offer though!!!

"No thanks"
Nelsons Pure & Clear Balancing Moisturiser.
I meant to use this product for a few weeks but must confess I have only used it a handful of times, and won’t be using it any more!
The good things first:
Reading the ingredients this does look to be a very natural product. Too many companies add a handful of plant extracts to their normal mixture of SLS and Parabens and call it natural, which annoys me.
The bottle came in a lovely organza bag, which is now home to my daughters tea set, although I don’t know whether you would normally get this!
The not so good:
It stinks. Maybe someone else will like the smell, but to me the tea tree and other smells combine to make it very antiseptic, harsh, and strong.
After rubbing in even the tiniest bit on my face, within a minute it sets solid forming a layer over my skin. Then I smile and it all feels like its cracking and I can feel giant sections of solid moisturiser layered over my skin. I hate it, and end up scrubbing it off with soap and water 5 minutes after applying it!
Definitely not for me!

"Fairly average."
I recieved the Nelsons wipes and Anti Blemish Gel.
I have now been using the products for several days. I find the wipes to have a slightly dry feel to them and I definately need to moisturise after using them as they leave my skin feeling dry and stretched. I also used the gel and found that this did help with lessoning the redness of blotches and spots. However - the smell is awful. There is no way I would buy this product as once I had used them I just couldn't get away from the awful smell. On account of this I also think the wipes and gel should have a cheaper price tag - there are certainly cheaper alternatives out there.

"In Two Minds?"
I received the Nelsons wipes and Anti Blemish Gel.
They are not something I would choose to buy in the shops due to cheaper alternatives but I did like the way it left my skin feeling soft.
I also loved the smell of the wipes. I can see a huge improvement of the skin on my face and think I will continue to buy this product. The only problem I had with the wipes was that I had to make an opening myself. Maybe it could of just been a one off factory error.

"Nice product"
I have the Nelsons pure and clear Facial wash. I have used it for a few days now and have noticed a difference on my face already.
It is easy to use and best to do after a face wash or bath/shower,as you have to put it on damp skin,masage in then rinse off,it smells lovely and i do like tree tea although some may not like the smell of that it also has lavender oil.Overall a lovely product but at £7 there are cheaper alternatives on the market!
