When Great Products Are Discontinued...

Gasp! My favourite cleanser (the Botanics blemish-prone pore perfecting mousse) has been discontinued. At least for now anyway, as Botanics gets a makeover and is repackaged. Sob.

I had to stop using my beloved La Roche Posay Effaclar cleansing gel as I feared it was reacting with the water (since my move to Yorkshire) and irritating my face. It usually works like a dream but since moving here it gives me nothing but breakouts, so I've had to bin it and find an alternative.

Cue,  this rather basic-looking Boots' Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash (I figured it was the nearest thing to the Botanics one), but I'm not bowled over.

Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel Foaming Face Wash

Consistency-wise, it's lovely and light and doesn't seem to aggravate my skin. But it's just not Botanics.

I've been using this with a Body Shop muslin cloth and removing mascara with an excellent Botanics (I don't work for Botanics, honest) eye make up remover - full review to come soon.

In the meantime, anyone got any cleanser recommendations for oily, blemish-prone skin? Please do leave them below.
