Pros:

-Smells Nice
-Nice refreshing feeling
-Lathers well
-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:

- Foams easily
- Non-comedogenic
- Glycerin is 3rd ingredient on list, which is great news
- Smells amazing to me, but I'm not sensitive to perfumes

Cons:

- Second ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate. If you're following the regimen (like I am), this isn't great news. I found that it never bothered me.

I was in a different city visiting family, and the only facial cleanser at their house was this one. I decided to give it a quick try and loved the results. I'm about to try it again with the regimen this time around.

Pros:

removes makeup, cleans well, not too drying once your skin gets used to it

Cons:

can be drying until your skin gets used to it ans super expensive if your order from overseas!

I ordered this online and the shipping was $80!! when i first started using this product it was quite drying and made my skin peel but now i have been using it morning and night with the Green Tea Scrub (only at night) and followed by BP and Dan's AHA (only at night)and it is great and the dryness has gone. I would recommend this however if you are in Australia don't order it online look for a similar product that is available here.

Good cleanser

Pros:

Smells awesome
clears pimples very well
cleans away dirt and makeup easily

Cons:

does not clear black heads
doesn't affect pore size around nose
allergic to the tea part...

My mom bought a Saint Ives care package for me in my first year of university, and the green tea cleanser was in the package. I was a little skeptic about trying it out - I'm allergic to green tea! - but I found that with daily use, I broke out less and less. It does absolutely NOTHING for my blackheads however, and I find that my face gets really warm and red after I use it, but it may just be my skin reacting to the tea.
