Last year I shared my love for the then-newly launched Liz Earle Cleanse & Glow Cleanser and it seems Liz Earle has gone and done it again, extending the glow-enhancing range to a three-product line-up with an exfoliating skin tonic and illuminating moisturiser!
For me, the Cleanse & Glow Cleanser marked a new, fresher vibe for Liz Earle and I had my fingers crossed that the range would be extended so I was thrilled at the news of the new Smooth & Glow Exfoliating Tonic; an everyday mild exfoliator that reveals ultra-smooth glowing skin, and possible star of the show Revitalise & Glow Illuminating Gel Moisturiser; a light gel cream that hydrates, smoothes and gives a dewy finish to the skin. This glow line-up is the perfect range to bring us into Spring/Summer and with the below 20% off discount it's the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine.

The Cleanser
Cleanse & Glow Transforming Gel Cleanser - £26.00
Described by Liz Earle as a cleanser to reveal luminous, glowing skin in just 30 seconds, this sweet bergamot-scented cleanser is the perfect go-to cleanser to melt away makeup and SPF after a long day. Gone are the days when you need a two-step cleansing routine and flannel when this thick gel cleanser can lift off and dissolve makeup and then simply turn into a milk formula when water is added. For me, this has been a game changer when it comes to how long I spend in the bathroom removing a full face of makeup as once water is added, the cleanser transforms into something much lighter that can be washed away with a few splashes of the face without any residue being left behind.
I also find the cleanser leaves my skin feeling fresh, hydrated and plump which is a perfect base for skincare to be applied to.
As for ingredients, the cleanser aims to brighten the skin with acerola cherry, a wonderful antioxidant that can contain up to 80 times the vitamin c of an orange in just a single cherry! The cleanser also contains organic black bee honey which is known for its soothing and balancing properties that I like to imagine is the reason for such silky happy skin after using the cleanser. And finally, elderberry oil which is rich in fatty acids to support the skin barrier and to keep the skin nourished.
If you are looking for the makeup-removing power of a balm cleanser without the faff and the risk of your pores being clogged then I would look no further than this cleanser.
The Skin Exfoliator
Smooth & Glow Exfoliating Tonic - £20.00
Next up in the Liz Earle glow-enhancing range is this wonderful everyday tonic that aims to gently exfoliate and brighten the skin. This mild exfoliator is great for anyone that's just starting out with liquid exfoliators or if you have stepped away from abrasive face scrubs but still want to keep the skin smooth and even. The tonic is also perfect for those with sensitive skin that want to avoid using harsher ingredients such as glycolic acid.
Gentle enough to be used day or night the liquid tonic is applied onto a cotton pad and gently swept over the skin or for a no-waste option, simply poured into the palm of the hands and pressed or patted into the skin.
Key ingredients within the tonic include prickly pear to exfoliate which has actually been shown to be as effective as glycolic acid in hydration and radiance. Along with acerola cherry to brighten the skin and sea buckthorn, which is rich in vitamin A and has brightening properties.
For me, this is an easy and effective way to exfoliate the skin on a daily basis making the most difference in how my makeup sits and lasts on my skin - no more foundation clinging to dry areas around the nose or blemishes. This really is the benefit of using a mild yet effective exfoliating skin tonic like this, skin not only feels much smoother than normal but with dead skin cells removed all other skincare products are able to penetrate more effectively and makeup not only looks better on the skin but lasts longer throughout the day.
While some may overlook the use of Liz Earle's Skin Tonics thinking of it as an unnecessary step, I truly believe it's a key part of how smooth and bright the skin can look.
The Moisturiser
Revitalise & Glow Illuminating Gel Moisturiser - £28.00
Last but certainly not least is possibly my new favourite product from Liz Earle as it's been such a treat to us both day and night for the past month. This light gel moisturiser provides the complexion with a long-lasting glow while hydrating and nourishing the skin.
The first thing that drew me to this moisturiser was the lightweight gel formula that left the skin instantly fresher feeling and plump; perfect for in the morning when the skin can feel sluggish. Secondly, the citrus scent which I wasn't expecting to love as much as I do; this really awakens the senses and feels beyond fresh to apply to the skin.
Ingredients include much of what is seen in the matching skin tonic; soothing prickly pear to exfoliate and add radiance, acerola cherry to brighten and sea buckthorn for that extra brightening and glow boost to the skin.
As for the results I have seen so far I obviously cannot pinpoint my clearer, brighten complexion down to a single product from the new range but the gel moisturiser I feel has made the biggest overall difference with my skin looking much more even and brighter without makeup, especially around my eyes, nose and chin. It's also a product I've really enjoyed applying both day and night due to the fresh citrusy scent and whipped cream texture that melts over the skin.
If you are looking for a glow-enhancing moisturiser that is effective yet light then I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Liz Earle's Extended Refund Policy
This leads me nicely to Liz Earle's generous refund policy which is worth mentioning as they have an amazing expended 60-day window for both returns and refunds. So if for any reason a purchase is not suitable for use or you have tried it and not gotten on with it then this refund policy is great.
To summarise this is a wonderful skincare trio that can be used as a simple yet effective 3-step skincare routine or any one of these products could fit nicely within an existing routine for a Spring refresh.
Personally, my favourite product from the new Liz Earle line-up is the Revitalise & Glow Illuminating Gel Moisturiser as it ticks all the boxes when it comes to what I want from a face cream; a lightweight texture, hydration, nourishment and a good dose of antioxidants to brighten my skin. However, this is closely followed by my love of the Smooth & Glow Exfoliating Skin Tonic that while gentle on the skin really does exfoliate the skin well, leaving it smooth and clear.
