*Review From Shannen on MummyPages.ie – http://www.mummypages.ie/feedback-for-pestle-mortar-erase-and-renew-
Would like to say first thank you. I have been using it day and night. At first when I was using it I was thinking this product is very good and yes it is. I began my day using the scrub it was a very light texture and I could feel the oils on my face. I did apply to my neck area too. Now after using it my skin has shown good signs, its so soft and the dryness I had with the flaking is now gone. I would recommend this product. I also noticed when using it my fine lines are not prominent and my skin had a glow. I found out using less is more, you don’t need to put alot on it smelt so fresh. I felt I had been at a spa… brilliant product I would rate this 5/5

I was aware of the Pestle & Mortar brand before the Trial from magazine reviews and also online advertising. I had bought the serum and moisturiser last November as a twin pack offer so I saved about €10 at the time. I was delighted with the results of these products and I had read great reviews about the cleansing system and was delighted when I got the opportunity to take part in the trial.
My first impressions of the packaging was “Wow”, it looked expensive! But thinking about it I feel the packaging is very wasteful. The boxes and containers are lined with a velvet like foam which are of no use once you open them and I still have not found a way to recycle or reuse them. The product as described on their own website:
“a line of no-fuss skincare – free of harsh chemicals and worrisome ingredients – that left women looking and feeling their best”
however the packaging is very fussy and I would imagine adds considerably to the price of the product and also the environmental impact on our planet. The pump dispenser again is lovely to use and dispenses about the right amount, but again adding to the cost of the product and the environment. It’s the only negative I have with the P&M brand. I think the philosophy of the product is not carried through to the packaging. Maybe P&M will review their packaging to create simpler environmentally friendly packaging.
My normal skincare routine would be to cleanse before bed with either a gentle facewash, or a cream cleanser & cotton pads, toner followed by a night oil or night cream. In the morning, facewash, serum, eye cream, moisturise and then makeup at work. I had never used a double cleanse system before.
I have dry sensitive skin, with some lines starting to form and even though I am in my mid-forties I can still get the odd pimple or blocked pore so I try to be vigilant with cleansing and using products the suit my skin and help reduce the effects of aging.
I used the Erase & Renew at night, followed by toner and then just the renew in the mornings. I used the lovely 2 sided facecloth that was supplied. I did notice my skin was clearer and softer and had a “glow” in the mornings. I also have not had a pimple or breakout since beginning to use P&M erase & renew. My skin felt plumper and nourished and there was no dryness or irritation. I have also noticed my fine lines are not as prominent. The products smelled fresh and clean and felt like I was in the spa when using them.
I would consider buying the P&M brand again, the erase & renew system is wonderful and my skin is all the better after using it, my fine lines are less noticeable and my skin is glowing. My only reservation is the packaging and price, but the product is Fantastic.
I have already recommended the P&M serum and moisturiser to friends and family and now I would also recommend the double cleanse system. I think it’s priced a little on the high end and maybe reviewing the price of packaging would reduce the cost and make the product even more attractable. I am giving the Erase & Renew a score of 4/5.

Wow, well I have been using the Pestle & Mortar: Erase and Renew for 2 weeks now. Amazing stuff. I had previously heard of the P&M brand and was delighted to be able to trial the product. Well when it arrived I thought Wow both the presentation and the look were amazing, it looked a very expensive product. At €76 I would think this was expensive.
The products themselves are fabulous. The scrub smells amazing and both products are very easy use. A little goes a long way with these. Almost immediately I could feel a difference with my skin, and now after 2 weeks I can say without a doubt it has improved my skin tenfold. My skin is clearer, I no longer have dry patches and dare I say it is even glowing. It is also softer to touch.
Despite all of this I don’t think I will be purchasing it in the future, I honestly just couldn’t justify spending €76 on skincare every few weeks. Which is disappointing as the results are amazing. The products themselves I would give 5/5. But the price let’s it down. I have and will happily recommend these products to family & friends. I have been singing the praises of the Pestle & Mortar brand.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of this trial and testing this fantastic product.
