Not worth the money, trust me. I got sucked into the infomercials about 4 years ago when it first came out.
IMHO, I would highly recommend Living Nature skincare. The vitalising exfoliator is fantastic; it does not contain any gritty bits, but uses the natural fruit acids in manuka honey to do the job. You just wet your face, slap it on, and wait 20 minutes for it to do its work. Your skin comes out sooooo soft afterwards, and so clear.

Oooh, that one is next on my list! I was surpised by the price tho, a little more than I expected. Glad to hear it works well tho. I read a review where there reviewer was pretty surprised by how dirty the "cloth" got in the end, so it sounds like it cleans pretty deep!

I just brought a Wave, and i was so sceptical. So much advertising etc.. but a work mate convinced me. And plus my hormones are going crazy and iv got more pimples than a schoolgirl. Anyway my first day opinion... Cleans really well, i was worried it might strip the skin too harshly, but no, seems to be nice and smooth and soft, without feeling over exfoliated. stay tuned for more of my opinion later lol

It will definitely help. It is good for all skin types. You do have to use it weekly, and really helps address oily and flaky patches on skin.
I would recommend using their whole skincare range. But the stuff does last for a very long time (One full sized bottle of cleanser or moisturiser lasts for 6 to 7 months). I have really, really, sensitive skin, and is the only skincare range I can use on my skin without it reacting to it. It contains no man-made chemicals, and only uses ingredients derived from plants in NZ. Only the makeup range may contain ingredients from overseas.
I have managed to convert a few of my work colleagues onto it, and even some of my family!
Haha, you would think they are paying me to advertise this, but they are not!!!

I was wondering the same thing I have been attempted to try it out and if it doesn't work you can always send it back.

The only thing with the Wave is that it's not as waterproof as I thought! Hint....don't keep it in the shower. Think I have to go buy another one.
Hasn't put me off though becuase I still love how it cleans and how my skin is feeling and looking.
My zit issue has definetly improved heaps and normally to do that requires all the industrial strength zit remover I can get my hands on so I'm really impressed!!! Even B has commented on my skin looking better (and we all know how unobservant men can be!).
Oh and Foodtown have them for $19.95 with foodtown card at the moment.

No but I have had the one crop up but not big nasties, pretty much here one day gone the next.
It's not unusual for me to break out when trying a new cleanser...if it persists I just stop using it.

Has only been 2 days of using it so I'll see how it goes! Certainly does make your skin feel smooth straight away though!
