Jamie's Thoughts: Man, I hate to be a buzzkill, but I cannot recommend either of these products. For this price (and organic hype), I definitely expected more.
Regarding the cleanser: First off, I love love LOVE that this product is comprised almost entirely of organic ingredients. Kudos to Sophyto! I really do encourage all the Delush readers to challenge the idea that beauty products have to be full of synthetic stuff to be "good." Unfortunately, this cleanser simply does not live up to my standards. The foam is nearly flat - it falls apart when I try and apply it to my face. The scent they claim it has (a mild apple) is nonexistent, and I truly didn't feel it did anything to remove my make-up (another claim of the parent company). This is a pass.
Regarding the moisturizer: Texture? LOVE. Smell? Non-existent (LOVE). Effectiveness? DON'T LOVE. I would have liked to be able to use this in the winter months, because I have a sinking feeling it was simply too thick for summer use (at least for my complexion). And it doesn't have any SPF coverage, which is a major dealbreaker for this fair-haired girl. I was oily in the T-zone by lunch, and feeling/looking greasy by the end of the work day. Yuck. That said, it may not be the perfect option for me - however, I do think it would be a fantastic choice for dry/combo complexions, particularly those with troubled/stressed skin. It's calming and light.

I think you hit on the problem of using organic products...they usually DO need all of the synthetic stuff to make them good! I feel terrible saying that, but so few live up to their claims and you have to spend more because they are organic. Kind of a sticky situation and not sure if it is worth the $ if they don't do the trick.
