-Made me break out even more on my forehead

It never improved my skin at all and made it worst on my forehead for me. But i kept using is as well using witch hazel afterwords. I wish it helped me clear my pimples just never did. Probably need a Bp with it as well to do the trick I bet.

Pros:

Smells great
Cheap

Cons:

Made skin produce more oil
Dried out areas of my skin

This cleanser did clear up my breakouts but not as well as I would have liked it to. I didn't find that it irritated my skin but it kind of made the skin around my nostrils dry out. Also it made my skin produce more oil than normal, which then caused me to have tiny almost invisible little bumps all over my face, and although they were invisible they were annoying.

-Clears breakout with weeks

Cons:

-Doesn't really reduce redness
-Packaging is pretty bad (if thats a con)
-Dries the skin out

This product is great! The cleanser lathers very well and it smells really great (: After you wash this product off, your skin will feel very refreshed. You can fix the dryness of the skin with a good moisturizer as well. Overall a great product with some fixable problems

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling clean
Removes makeup
Reduces redness & breakouts

Cons:

None

This product was the only thing that cleared up my severe cystic acne caused by a PDT treatment. I use the green tea scrub morning and night and most of my acne has gone away. My skin is extremely oily with some dry patches and this helped exfoliate my dry skin and keep it less oily. I absolutely love it.

Pros:

feels kinda good

Cons:

works for a little bit and then wrecks your face.

when i first started using this product my face felt fantastic and the tea ingredient made me feel like i was using a more natural cleanser. The first week was great i was very happy with my face and then slowly after a week later i started seeing little bumps all over my face. I am extremely disappointed with this product and will not use it again. im going back to oxy. its wayyy better.

Pros:

Great smell

Cons:

Dried out skin

I so wanted this product to work. St. Ives has great products. I got this and tried it for a couple weeks and didn't see any difference. I'm sure this is great for those with less troubled skin. But it smells good...that's all I can say for this product.

Pros:

-smells great!
-Removes make-up
-clears breakouts
- great for oily skin types

Cons:

None yet

I used this product for about a year. Before I had very light acne on my face which helped control that problem. Then I moved to max clarity which was a BIG MISTAKE! bc it worsened my acne causing it to be persistent and took awhile to clear up due to the benzoyl peroxide being so dry on my skin...I am now using the st Ives naturally clear again and its actually starting to work on my skin like it use to. I've always loved st Ives products....one of the best OTC I highly recommend.
