I use and love the pHelityl soap every night. I have normal to dry skin and the sea mud soap dries me out but the other soap is perfect. I've been using it for over 4 years. I really like the skin care too but it can get pricey.
Have been using the 12 'o clock Laszlo ritual on and off for 10 years and it really does make your skin glow. But you have to use the products as prescribed including 30 or 40 splashes in warm - hot soapy water! And the toner seems to be pure alcohol. But it works. Probably seems a bit old fashioned in these days of quick cleansing wipes and 2 in 1 products. They have brought out a slew of "anti aging" products in the last 5 - 7 years but the core products and eyecare are the stars. Highly recommended. Just hope they get the price right in the UK. In US a soap is $40 so really in the UK it should be £27 - £30.
The Lazslo line originally started out being mixed up in small batches by the Doctor himself and his chemists and was only available to his personal client list of maybe 300 people. As many of those clients were very famous (Marilyn, Jackie Kennedy, Audrey Hepburn etc.) Erno came under pressure to make the preparations more widely available. His initial foray into this was unsatisfactory to him as he didnt feel he could treat customers without knowing their skin so he withdrew his line from sale. After a manufacturing deal with Cheeseborough Ponds the line was re-introduced in the 1960s to a limited number of high end stores (I.Magnin, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks) and became a runaway sucess. It maintained its popularity through the 70s and early 80s despite insisting that customers joined the "institute" in order to buy products. To join you had to buy the full line prescribed to you - you coudlnt just buy the soap! Princess Diana used to send her ladies in waiting to buy her supplies from Harrods. At some point in the 80s the line started to fall from view as more and more new brands joined the market and the Lauders and Lancomes stepped up their marketing. By the 2000s we had endless doctor endorsed high tech lines (Sebagh, Perricone, Brandt etc) as well as the luxe " I'm expensive so i must be good" such as La Mer & Sisley. It will be interesting to see how the Laszlo re-launch goes in the current saturated marketplace. Will linking product names to famous but long dead film stars work or should they have paid Cheryl Cole?! Hmmmm.

This is fantastic news, I used Erno Laszlo skincare when I live in the US, his black soap was the product to use in the 90's.
I used to work with Charles Denton at Molton Brown when he was the retail director! I worked for the hotel division but our paths crossed often.
