Picked this up after my regular cleanser was out of stock and found it’s a great value alternative, has all the ingredients I look for as I have oily, reactive skin (fragrance free, ceramide, niacinamide) and have had no reactions. Large 1L bottle size is such great value!

I have only been using this moisturiser face cream for about 4 days and wow, I have tried everything before and have rosacea which was getting worse. What a difference, my skin feels soft and moisturised, I hope I have found my new face products.

So far.. obsessed. If I had known this was cruelty free earlier I would have tried this ages ago and I wish I had. I used it not only on face but body with the moisturising lotion.. love it. I was a little scared it may be too much for my face but nope sunk in super well. My skin looked hydrated and glowy without looking/feeling oily/greasy and is just super soft. Amazing.. Should it continue to work like this I think I’ve found a staple. Also stoked I don’t need to seperate products for face and body a probable first for me. Must try.

What a perfect cleanser! I've been looking for ages with one that has ceramides and that works with my skin.

The cleanser is a creamy consistency which foams up really well, and not just slide off my skin like other brand cleansers. Really felt like it thoroughly cleansed my skin.

I love the cleanser as it’s multipurpose and gentle enough to use as a second cleanse in the shower for low effort days. I have noticed a significant improvement in the hydration of my skin and has helped ease irritation during an eczema flare up.

This QV range could not have come at a better time! I have been getting facial treatments done which have left my skin sensitive and slightly dry. The cleanser is extremely gentle and really does leave my skin hydrated even after it’s been washed off. While using this cleanser I have never experienced that horrible feeling when it feels like your skin has been stripped of its natural oils. Although as a makeup lover I would always double cleanse and not rely solely on this cleanser to remove my makeup and sunscreen.

I thought these were nice. Uncomplicated and pleasant to use. I enjoyed the no fragrance and was glad the cleanser didn’t leave my skin feeling shrivelled up.

The cleanser felt nice and calming/moisturising on my skin. I love that there’s no fragrances in either product and I love how good the pump is on the packaging, as this is common gripe I have with other brand’s packaging,

Not for my sensitive facial skin, but great for body! I used the cleanser on my face and it did feel uncomfortably stingy despite saying for "sensitive" but I do have really sensitive skin! I love the addition of niacinamide and ceramides. Anyway I used the cleanser and lotion on my chest, arms, back and legs and it was lovely!

The QV Ceramides Moisturising Lotion and Cleanser both come in a great value-sized pack, a whole 350g and 350ml respectively! The pump bottles make using the product a breeze, eliminating the need to stick fingers into a container. The Cleanser, which I used for both body and face is super gentle but surprisingly had no difficulty removing my make-up at the end of a long day. It made my skin feel hydrated, never stripped, which I’d definitely attribute to the ceramide-containing formula. Quite the contrast to my usual foaming cleanser.

The cleanser exceeded my expectations, it leaves my skin fresh and clean and I love the added ceramides, but be careful not to get it in your eye as it stings. A little goes a long way and foams up nicely (but not too foamy that my skin feels tight). It works well to dissolve makeup and dirt, and my skin feels clean and refreshed.

Reviewed by: Mamamia You Beauty Panel product trial, Georgia on 12 Sep 2022

I really like the cleanser! The creamy feeling is nice to lather on, even for the face the product doesn’t seem to foam up at all and doesn’t leave me feeling dry or tight.

Cleanser was okay - light and no dryness after use.

Reviewed by: Mamamia You Beauty Panel product trial, Harriet on 12 Sep 2022

The cleanser had a really smooth, runny consistency but unexpectedly foamed up a fair bit in the shower. It had a slightly clinical smell however this didn’t linger on the skin. I tested on both face and body - it was a bit too harsh I think for my face, but my body loved it (I have eczema). I felt so clean afterwards without feeling dry, which is an accomplishment with my skin. I am always after products that won’t strip my skin/react to my eczema. Also something that makes me feel hydrated. These products definitely did just that!

As someone with VERY sensitive skin on my face and body, my expectations are pretty high when it comes to products that claim to help support the skin barrier. However, as a long time lover of QV, i was super duper exited to give these two lovely products a go!! BUT, after two nights of washing my face with the QV Ceramide cleanser, popping on my niacinamide serum then lathering on the QV Ceramide moisturiser my skin was feeling soft, refreshed and hydrated!! I found the cleanser such a dream for my face and body, delivering what it claimed to exactly: giving a fresh glowing complexion.

I enjoyed these products much more than expected. Scentless and weightless on the skin. The cleanser foams slightly on application and removed my make up after just one cleanse. I loved using it on my back ( acne prone)

Reviewed by: Mamamia You Beauty Panel product trial, Megan on 12 Sep 2022

I love QV as a brand and our whole family uses it so I had high expectations for these two products. I love that the QV Ceramides range includes niacinamide as my skin has loved that ingredient in the past.As someone with sensitive skin, eczema prone, I have been using the normal line from QV for years, but QV Ceramides provides next level hydration. The moisturising lotion is lightweight, yet deeply hydrating and the cleanser takes off my makeup and doesn't strip my skin or leave it feeling tight. I have been using these two products daily and it has not flared up my eczema at all, despite the weather being extremely cold and dry.

The products did the job. The cleanser was gentle and cleansed my body and face but is too gentle to clean off makeup. The cleanser did not leave my body or face feeling dry.

I don’t usually love the sorts of cleaners that are designed for sensitive skin but this one was great. Loved that it actually lathered a little bit. By far the best pharmacy cleanser I’ve used.

The cleanser was a great 2nd cleanse. It got rid of the oil residue from my first cleanse. And didn’t leave my skin feeling to dry afterwards.

I have thoroughly enjoyed using both the QV cleanser and moisturizer. I am usually skeptical about using face/body products on my face but I find both products effective as part of my face skincare routine. They are nice hydrating products but the foam on the cleanser makes me feel as though it is working.

Reviewed by: Mamamia You Beauty Panel product trial, Uaan on 12 Sep 2022

As a personal preference I prefer body wash that is more foaming and has fragrance. But both products were great on my sensitive skin and don’t irritate it whatsoever which is a win!

The facewash had an interesting scent which did not particularly suit me. It also left slight residue even after washing.

I’m always conscious of products formulated for sensitive skin because you just don’t know what’s going to work for you but these were amazing! No greasy feeling, no stinging or irritation and best of all no heavy fragrance!

I have dry skin so these products worked great for me. I felt slightly tight after using the the cleanser, but it is still a great product. It would be great if I could twist the caps to close after use so that I could travel with them, but I will just keep them for home use. Highly recommend!

The product did not meet my expectations. The lotion claims to be non-greasy and fast absorbing and whilst the finish is not greasy, it left an unpleasant sticky feeling which made me hesitant to put clothes on until I dried it out. I don't have this issue with the classic QV lotion. Otherwise, from a moisturising perspective I felt it did a similar job compared to normal QV. I also found the ceramides cleanser to be the same as the normal QV body wash. Whilst I enjoy using the product and will finish them, I will not be repurchasing and am more inclined to opt for the classic QV products.
