The Elemis super C serum is £95 for 30ml , Q have it for £55 but only 15ml 😳
Elemis are pricing themselves out of the market….
Just before Christmas I got a 100ml pot of PCMC. It was around £100 as there was a sale on directly from Elemis. I also got a nice free gift and free postage and samples. I had worked out that the cream was £50 for 50ml which wasn’t that bad at all and would last me.
But there is no way I could routinely fork out that sort of money for face products….

As an aside, I’m using the shower cream and body butter I got in the Christmas set. I think it’s the nourishing fragrance…. Body butter stinks like old talc and the shower cream bottle is so hard you have to squeeze with two hands… won’t be getting any TSV with body bits in again…
 
For that price I would expect an Elemis facialist to hand-deliver give me a full facial and give me loads of freebi

I thought I had lost use of my hands . 😂As I wash and condition hair and leave conditioner on until I've showered I dropped it endless times in the shower trying to squeeze it out.

Claire, I too have had real difficulty in getting the shower cream out of the bottle, in the end I was shaking it out. That's deffo not right imo, I'm wondering now if they were old stock and the plastic has hardened over time? Who knows? Like you, I've said goodbye to Elemis, there's so much more out there, and the prices are now getting a bit silly!

That is exactly what I ended up doing…..shaking the bottle. Which isn't ideal when standing in a shower….. you could have a point there about older stock. The prices really are outrageous… and I’ve just seen Keeley on Facebook talking about her Wednesday skin care…. The list of products she will be using is incredible. I always loved the simplicity of Liz Earle… just hated that they fiddled with the moisturiser.
I am looking forward to trying the new LE night cream..
 
If you migrate to LE I am sure like me you won’t regret it.Their website is great & usually free delivery & I like the products!
And they have so many sales! And so do Boots….
I just don't like their new formulation of skin repair. Superskin is good for winter, but i need something lighter for this time of year. I don’t mind the PCMC and the oil, as long as I can get them at a decent price, but I do wish LE would go back to the original skin repair…
 
I always loved the shower cream, used in the bath. I always kept it upside down and then firm shake to get it out. Okay, I haven't used it in a long time.
Going to turn mine upside down right now!
Must admit I don’t bath these days, but a firm shake into the shower puff should work… 🤞
 
I’ve been trying a few facial oils as I’m finding Elemis too expensive to use all the time.
Currently using Emma Hardie Brilliance oil. Heavier than Elemis but my skin does like it, and it does sink in.

Ive also got some Clarins Blue Lotus oil to try next
 
I have said many times before ( apologies) I love Elemis Overnight Matrix but not prepared to pay well over £100.My skin has had the best of the best thrown at it from being a teenager and at 76 is largely wrinkle free.I do have other concerns especially pigmentation and of course slackness but you have to expect something! Most is down to me lovely parents who died in their 80’s but had lovely fresh skins, Mam was the freckle one hence my paler skin & pigmentation. Youngsters, sun protection, moisturisers and exfoliate.

Wise words…
And drink plenty of water..
 
I dont have lines or slackness concerns but I do have very dry dehydrated skin. All I want is something to moisturise and hydrate. Most brands in particularly the more expensive ones cant even do that. Much less the more complicated issues.
