I will start off by saying that this cleanser is not cheap. I told myself I'd never spend more than 30 dollars on a cleanser that would last me a few months. This one was twice as much.
Organic Pharmacy has a distributer in the States, but they sell this cleanser for 52 bucks plus 10 more in shipping (ridiculous...there's no good reason that it costs 10 dollars to send something from New York to Tucson). The US distributer iswww.newlondonpharmacy.com
I chose to order straight from OP (www.theorganicpharmacy.com), mistakenly thinking I'd save some money over the US distributor. OP has it listed at 42 USD. The shipping was 17 dollars, but I got (or at least at the time I thought I got) a discount because of VAT. However, because they charge you in GBP, your credit card company may decide to take advantage of this and rip you off, giving you a really lousy exchange rate. While OP said they were charging the equivalent of 51 USD, my CC charged me $61.66...granted they told me at checkout my cc company might charge me a different amount.
So 60 bucks later, I have this 3.3 oz jar of orange, balmy goodness. It comes with a spatula as not to get your germies in it. A little goes a looooong way.
The verdict:
I'm in love with OP Carrot Butter Cleanser. I use it at night and my makeup melts off like nothing else. I have tried MANY cleansers and none have worked as well as this in removing my sometimes heavy eye makeup. Combined with the unbleached muslin cloth I bought, it leaves my skin unbelievably soft and not greasy in the least. I've not had a break out yet (knock on wood).
Now, I'm distraught. I adore this cleanser. I'm still dying to try the OP Flower Petal Cleanser and Facial mask...but I can't bring myself to spend another 60 bucks. I'm beginning to wonder if it would be cheaper if someone in the UK did a CP for me and sent it that way, VAT discount or not...<hint hint> 
My goal is to make this last 5-6 months...then for me it would be economically feasible...as I can buy a 20 or 30 dollar cleanser and have it last 3-4 months.
My fall back, which I am currently trying out now in the mornings is Liz Earle. No it doesn't remove makeup as well, doesn't feel as good on my face, and doesn't make me all happy about carrots, but it's much less expensive.
I know OP has this in their travel/trial kit, but their kit is super expensive at 80 bucks...though you can try many of their best sellers. I didn't do this because some of the products as they are not all fit for my skin and I know I wouldn't use all of the kit...so I took the plunge. And now I find myself wanting to dive in again!!! Someone throw me a lift preserver...better yet...throw a life boat in!!
Overall rating  (not thinking about price, only quality and effectiveness)
Package Quality
Price: Initial price with shipping
Price if it lasts 5-6 months |
