Marie Veronique Organics recently launched Cleanser. According to the company, this is a gentle but effective cleanser that removes dirt, oil, sunscreen and makeup without harsh or irritating sudsing agents and naturally soothes and softens the skin with green tea, aloe vera, and jojoba oil. I received a complimentary bottle for review and was eager to try it because of what it promises. But does it leave up to its claims?

I was recently introduced to Luzern, a range of cosmecutical grade products said to use Bio-Swiss certified organic botanicals and medical-grade nutrients. Luzern contains an average of 80% advance cosmeceutical actives, eight times more than regular brands. So for those who want natural and organic products that have proven efficacy, this range might get your attention.
