| Pros | Not very expensive Cleans face really well Smells good Helps clear up acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Takes a while to start helping clear acne. Stings REALLY BADLY if you get it into your eyes Is really runny |
| Bottom line | This is a very good foaming cleanser for acne-prone skin. It smells good (to me, although some might find it a little strong) and feels good and refreshing. I use it twice a day, and sometimes in the shower. It helps get rid of oil and dirt. But believe me (and I found this out the hard way lol), it REALLY STINGS if you get it in your eyes!!! The other main con is that it is runny (almost the consistency of water, so it is kind of hard to use. But is is definitely helping my acne. I use it with Duac and tea tree oil in aloe. |

| Pros | Natural ingredients |
|---|---|
| Cons | The smell Leaves skin dry and taut Badly-designed bottle Caused breakouts |
| Bottom line | I bought this at WholeFoods, thinking that a more natural product would not irritate my skin. I was wrong. My skin was red after rinsing the cleanser off. The very next day, new breakouts emerged. |

| Pros | This product is very cleansing and leaves skin almost squeaky clean. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It is sometimes very drying to the skin, I would definitely recommend a moisturizer after using this cleanser. |
| Bottom line | Overall this product is utterly amazing. Not only is it completely natural and cheap but it also works very well. After using it just once it leaves the skin radiant and almost brighter. I had acne all over my cheeks mostly and my forehead and it has minimized it a lot compared to other expensive products I've bought before. I would recommend using a moisturizer afterwards because it tends to leave the skin very dry. I've only had 2 weeks of using this product but in only 2 weeks I've seen improvement and will hope for more. |

| Bottom line | I would not recommend this for anybody with moderate to severe acne. It didn't treat my face at all. Sometimes stung and over dried my face. |

| Pros | All-Natural Great makeup remover Smells good Cleared up my acne!!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Do not get it into your eyes! Can dry skin if not used with lotion |
| Bottom line | Recently I decided to stop using harmful chemicals on my skin, even if that meant having to settle with just dealing with my acne. I'm 24 and have had light to medium breakouts almost every day since I was a teenager. I picked up Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash Original (says for Oily and Combination Skin) at Earthfare, and I also bought Alba Oil-Free Moisturizer with Aloe and Green Tea. I've been using this combo for two months and my skin is really clearer than it's ever been!!! I still get a break out a couple times a month a few days before my period, but that definitely beats having it all the time. Plus, I love knowing that I'm not letting harsh chemicals soak into my face. My next task is switching to mineral makeup. I highly recommend this! |

| Pros | Natural Controls Oil Non-drying Keeps skin clear Affordable |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I love this product. I have dry, acne prone, sensitive skin, but using this natural cleanser has eliminated the sensitivity and cleared my acne. If my skin is feeling dry, I only massage it in for about 10 seconds (the bottle says to do 1 minute) but longer after working out or sweating. Just avoid your eye area, as you always should with acne products, and follow up with an oil-free moisturizer. I actually swab my face with a cotton ball full of green tea after cleansing, and then finish up with the desert essence thoroughly clean moisturizer (which I JUST started using, so far so good!). My face is almost entirely cleared up! I also squirt some on my loofa and use it on my chest and back. If you buy the economy size refill, this cleanser is VERY affordable! |

| Pros | -Excellent at removing makeup -Cleared acne -Improved skin tone -Reduced redness -Removes oil -Huge bottle (32OZ) |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Drying -Stings if you get in to eyes |
| Bottom line | This product is EXCELLENT. After three weeks of usage, I threw out all of the other cleansers I had, because this has taken over everything they did and done it better. :) After seeing Dearly's post, I decided to try it, and it's def. worth it! I also use the Pretika Sonicdermabrasion facial brush to cleanse with it. At first I was concerned it would be too harsh, but it hasn't been so far and I'm finally getting control of my skin again. It can be drying-- my solution was to buy the desert essence jojoba oil and mix a drop with my moisturizer (neutrogena sensitive skin-oil free) and it's worked like a charm. This cleanser is amazing. |

| Pros | Nice smell Leaves skin feeling clean |
|---|---|
| Cons | DRIES OUT BAD! |
| Bottom line | This product is nice...nice to look at but not use! It dried out my skin so bad that my face was red under my chin and under my nose. The redness I could deal with, but the painful dry skin. My skin is overly oily and to go from one extreme to the other shocked my skin. It took a couple weeks for the redness and irritation to go away. |

| Pros | Cleared my skin, miracle, miracle, miracle, non-offensive smell, MIRACLE |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | I've had moderate to severe acne since I was 11 (almost 10 years.) I started using this cleanser a few months ago, and I've been 100% clear ever since. I absolutely love this cleanser. I buy the huge jug of it, which cost me about $11. Totally worth it, and totally recommended. I cleanse twice a day with this cleanser and the Pretika Sonicdermabrasion facial brush. Can't live without these products! |

| Pros | The fact that it's thin actually is a good thing. Cleans skin without being *too* drying. Skin feels very soft and smooth afterwards, without any residue. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Can be a little drying. |
| Bottom line | I'm now using the Trader Joes brand (which is essentially the same thing). I use it once day in the morning and put about 4-5 drops of jojoba oil on my face when I'm out of the shower and my normal oily skin is fine throughout the day. It smells very nice, herbal w/o being feminine. I only use it once a day and I don't know how my face would react if used it as night as well. So far I haven't needed to. |
