Mission to clear skin from Philadelphia, PA
March 25, 2009
| Pros | No harsh chemicals, All natural, Skin feels smooth, doesn't clog pores, rinses without leaving residues... |
|---|---|
| Cons | The only con is that it is too runny. The other day I accidentally knocked over the bottle (although it was tightly closed) it was leaking through the dispenser. This product is too good to be wasted!!! |
| Bottom line | I love this facewash!!! I have been using it for a few days now and trust me when i tell you that this product is amazing. I have tried almost everything that is suppose to "cure" acne and everything as failed me. Except this!!! Before I brought this wash, i was using the tea tree oil cleansing pads from desert essence. I decided to just try the wash since it was from the same brand and also because the cleansing pads worked so well. This is my first time writing a review for an acne product, but this is worth it. I will continue to use this wash. SO far, i have not had any new pimples, just old ones that are drying up. |

| Pros | Smells great! Tea Tree oil is a natural antiseptic. Bottle lasts a while, since a little goes a long way. Affordable!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | May be hard to find. Found mine at a local health food store, but saw it cheaper at Trader Joes. |
| Bottom line | It didn't completely eliminate my acne, but it did not make my skin worse. It actually cleared up a lot of my back acne. The key is to lather the soap up in your hands first, and then wash very gently with fingertips. If you wash too roughly your skin will get too dry and peel. I have been using this product for 5 weeks, twice a day, and have moderate acne that has calmed down some. I am a long time acne sufferer and started college this fall. I have tried just about everything over the years (antibiotics, creams, soaps, Proactive, Differin...) and am happy with this face wash and plan to keep using it. |

| Pros | cleans all oil away, leaves skin soft, looking better |
|---|---|
| Cons | none |
| Bottom line | I've been using this face wash for 5 weeks (actually, the tea tree oil/sunflower seed kind... but it's basically the same ingredients), and it's the best one I've ever used. After using it, my face feels SO soft and clean... and doesn't make my acne look worse after washing, like other cleaners have done for me. Try it. I've also been doing other things (chinese herbs, supplements, etc.), but using this wash has coincided with my skin clearing up a good deal... try it, at least. Stick with it. It isn't harsh, it feels good. |

| Pros | All natural organic. Not irritating. Inexpensive. Works well. Has a big refill bottle available. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stings badly if you get it in your eyes. Does not help with red marks. |
| Bottom line | This product is absolutely amazing. I use it religiously twice a day. It sure beats the chemical products out there. My skin feels so clean and soft afterwards. I will never go without this product. This is worth a try if you have acne. Substitute this for your daily topical regimen and see what happens. |

| Pros | Cleared up my acne. This stuff is a miracle worker. I love it. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Kind of watery, hurts horribly if you get in your eyes |
| Bottom line | My face feels so clean when I get done. I have sensitive skin, and this doesn't irritate it at all. I put it in one of those soap pumps that makes your soap foamy. That was the best thing to do. Do not get that stuff in your eyes. It will hurt so bad. I think it is the castile soap that does that. At least try it. I should be in a commercial for this stuff. My face was covered with acne, all I ever wanted was clear skin. I used this stuff for a few months, and my skin completely cleared up. If I use something else, I will break out. You have to try this stuff if you have acne. |

| Pros | Cheap, natural |
|---|---|
| Cons | Dried me out and caused more breakouts |
| Bottom line | I believe the coconut oil in this dried me out as coconut oil always does. Unfortunately my skin got worse and worse and drier and drier as I continued to use it and then I ended up breaking out badly. |

| Pros | Get rid of oil with out over drying, all natural ingredients, reduces acne. |
|---|---|
| Cons | hard to find- got mine at Trader Joes |
| Bottom line | This product is great! No weird chemicals that you cant pronounce, just natural cleansing without stripping. Great for those with sensitive skin. I wash my face with then, use bp, and then jojoba oil for moisturizer. My skin hasn't looked this good in years. with bp and jojoba oil. This face wash works so well I've been able to reduce the amount of bp I'm using. |
