The Fresh Skincare line has caught my eye a bit. Particularly the soy cleanser. Has anyone had experience with any of their products?
Thanks! |

I've been looking at Fresh, too.
I bought the Rosepetal Mask as a gift for a friend and some Sugar Shea Butter for myself. Haven't tried mine yet, though, and am waiting to hear how my friend gets on with her mask.
The Crème à l'Ancienne seemed wonderful when I tried a little from a pot on the shop counter. Sadly, I then saw the price.  (Why oh why do I always seem to make a beeline for the hideously expensive stuff?  )
I'm currently desperately wanting to try some of the Violet Moss Index EDP, but they don't seem to stock it over here. However, I'm due to spend a weekend in Paris at the end of this month and think Sephora there do sell most of the range.
I'd be really interested to hear if anyone has any Fresh recommendations too. |

| I haven't used Fresh's cleanser, but I love their Orange Chocolate Shea Butter. It is very moisturizing on cracked skin, on hands, elbows and knees. Smells delicious too! |

| I have used the Fresh Soy Cleanser, and I loved it! My skin never looked so good as it did when I was using it. I'm glad you reminded me about it, as I need to place an order. I have tried the OCM and, no matter how I modify the recipe, I keep getting little breakouts, so I guess it's back to regular cleansers for me. |

| i really like their umbrian clay mask...i only tried a sephora sample of the soy cleanser and it was nice too, but it wasn't the best at removing my makeup. |

creme ancienne is a RIPOFF
it's water, oil, beeswax and LYE
+
some extracts and some expensive stuff from perfume (which does nothing for the skin beyond irritate) |

| I love Fresh's Appleseed exfoliator. It just a great job of brightening the skin. |

| A few years ago, I decided to go for the Fresh line. While the products were okay, I just couldn't justify the price. The only thing I really liked besides the chocolate orange shea butter was the cleansing balm with lemon oil. None of the cleansers really remove makeup all that well. I did love their Memoirs of a Geisha line though. Otherwise, most of my products ended up being swapped away on MUA. |

| I've used quite a few products from Fresh several years ago. They included the soy face cleanser, cucumber cleansing foam, seawater and ginseng toner, rose marigold floral water, sugar face polish, rose face mask, sugar roll-on deodorant, and sugar blossom hand treatment. IMO, Fresh is really an overpriced skincare line with pretty packaging and lovely scents, but if you are serious about seeing real results on your skin, you may be disappointed. |

I agree. While Fresh does produce delightful products, I feel they are way overpriced for the size you receive. I paid a great deal of money a few years ago when I ventured into this line. One of my favorite products, the Chocolate Orange shea butter, I believe was discontinued. I tried the soy cleanser, cleanser with lemon oil (really great), lotus eye gel, face balm for combination skin, rose mask, and a whole heap of Memoirs of a Geisha products when that movie came out. I adore the fragrance they developed under the same name. Unfortunately, it was a limited addition.
I do continue to wear Sake fragrance and love the rice cream. The Sake Bath is exquisite, but at $80 a pop, I cannot justify the price.
As for the skincare, I do not plan on going back to it. Though I must admit, the body care is very alluring...way too pricey, especially in this economy! |
