Lush "Movis" Facial Soap Review

"Movis" is one of the new innovations from the Lush product inventors. I'm not going to lie, when the lovely people in my local lush store suggested the product I was a little apprehensive because it's unlike anything I've tried before. But I was intrigued so I decided to give it a go and I've fallen in love.


The product is a lovely and sweet smelling bar with a rather squidgy texture. It contains all sorts of lovely ingredients (including: Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Wheat Germ Oil and Extra Virgin Coconut Oil) that work wonders when it comes to softening your skin as well as wholemeal bread to exfoliate and revive it.

I do find the appearance of the product slightly hilarious. It reminds me a little bit of meatloaf, which is slightly strange for a cleanser but it just adds to the fun of the product.

One of the best things about the cleanser is just how easy it is to use. I fill the sink with warm water, cut off a tiny tiny amount of the cleanser, dip the slice into the water to get it wet, and then apply it all over my face (I've heard some people say that it's better to wet your face rather than the product but I've tried both methods and wetting the product is so much more affective). Then, I take a wet flannel and simply wipe the product off my face, taking all the makeup and dirt from the day with it. It literally only takes less than a minute to completely wash my face, which is so nice because I'm rather impatient when it comes to that sort of thing.

Let's talk results. I can honestly say that I've had far better results from using this product for a week or two than I have using any other cleanser ever. One of the results I first noticed is how it leaves my skin feeling so moisturised. It doesn't suck out any moisture and I even don't feel the need to use another moisturiser on top. It's also worked wonders for my blemishes. I've had acne for a good four or so years, but now I'm using this cleanser, my skin is looking clearer everyday. It's much more affective than any of the chemical-heavy spot treatments you get in the likes of Boots. The cleanser has also done a brilliant job at tightening my pores, which I really needed, so thank you Lush!

The only negative aspect of the product is it's quite bitty (although it doesn't stain the sink). It can leave quite a lot of rubbish in your sink but when it all comes down to it, the results you get from using the cleanser make having to clean your sink slightly more often completely worth it.

"Movis" is priced at £4.50 for 100g (or alternatively you can buy 250g or 500g). This is a complete bargain because 100g lasts forever. I've been using it daily for the last week or so and I've barely used any. If you cut an extremely thin slice and then half it to make a tiny square, it will last a good two or three washes.

What's your current favourite cleanser?

  8. I just started using Movis a week ago and love everything about it...except I am breaking out more than ever. I've always struggled with light acne, but have broken out severely in areas I've never broken out before since using Movis. Did this happen to you the first couple of weeks? Please let me know!
