Do any of the "ladies of a certain age" use their products? I've been using the Aveda allsensitive line, but it's very pricey.

You can see a lot of reviews on the site itself, and there is also a Lush community on LJ with a lot of information and helpful ladies. There is even a swaps community if you want to try something out but don't live close to a store or can't go for whatever reason.

I believe Aqua Marina is one of their cleansers targeted to sensitive skin. Personally I use Angels on Bare Skin.

I've recently gone back to using Lush and I also find most of their moisturisers very hit and miss especially under make-up.

I actually use the Enchanted Eye Cream as a face cream because it's really light and absorbs well. If you find the moisturisers a little heavy or feel like they cause breakouts you may want to try looking for the ones without cocoa butter. You could also try the eye cream, it's similar price range to the regular moisturisers and the packaging is more hygienic. It's pretty much fragrance free with minimal ingredients. I find it to be of no harm to my sensitive skin.

I'm using Fresh Farmacy to cleanse, I quite like it but it is a little drying & I go through it too quickly so I'll switch to Aqua Marina next time which I used to use and really liked.

I use Therapy and American Cream on my hair and love both.
