Dr. Bronner's : Castile Liquid Soap

I don't want to bash this product, just because it is a really good product and it has a lot of good reviews. I use this as a shampoo and you can also use it around the house. As a face wash? I used it once yesterday morning, right after washing with it my face turned red and shiny and pretty much stayed irritated for the rest of the day. Now I woke up this morning and my face has broken out. My acne was doing pretty well, starting to fade away, and I'm kicking myself for ruining it all by messing with my routine. It might be an allergic reaction that I had, it might be this soap combined with another part of my routine that did it...I don't know. I'm not saying "don't try it", I'm just warning, it might not go the way you want it to. My skin is oily and very sensitive if that helps at all. I'm just praying that it'll go back to normal soon.

I wish I had discovered this earlier in my life. It would have saved me the 20 years' fight against the acne, the thousands spent on expensive cosmetics and treatment, the four years on hormonal tablets and the thread veins which I got as a consequence... How could I know that this soap will clear my face for just 3 days? For me this really is magic, even though I know how logical it is... This is what my skin has craved for so long - to breathe and to be free :)

I seriously wanted this to help, esp because of how pure it is and all the reviews but I cant help that jojoba oil makes me break out. It's always little pimples that form on my cheeks when I use anything with jojoba oil in it. I hate to say it wont work for me ..but ITS GREAT for everything else. I use it to wash my furniture, clean floors, do laundry... I love lavender and tea tree so far i will rate 3 however because it can be used elsewhere and I intend to try it as a shampoo too.

I bought a bar of this first and though it worked well, but I decided to use the liquid instead just cause it's easier. I'm glad I did. I use this on my body and face and have had ZERO acne flair ups. I have sensitive combination skin and this stuff is a MIRACLE. I have never reviewed anything before it's just that good haha. I use it in the shower morning and night, and then after I get out, I moisturize my skin and that's IT! The stuff takes care of the rest. No 3 step regimen necessary that takes 45 mins to do cause you're waiting for the products to dry before moving to the next step (I'm talking to you Dan. No one has that much time to sit and wait for that BP to dry...then the moisturizer on top of it.) If you're sick of your acne that has plagued any part of your body, BUY THIS STUFF, you won't be sorry. I haven't been using it for that long and I already wish that I had found this stuff sooner.

I've tried Cetaphil, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena, ProActiv, and for a while, I gave up on cleansers and soaps completely for my face. I scrubbed with a washcloth with only water and it made my skin more irritated and have scabs from the broken skin. Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree Oil Liquid Soap is the ONLY thing I have ever used to not dry out my skin, make me dry and flaky, or leave residue. It leaves absolutely no residue. You only need a few drops. I use three to four drops of the stuff and it lathers amazingly. You don't need any more than that. Maybe that's why people are saying that it can be drying. I don't know, but it is awesome for me. It's not difficult to find (CVS, rite-aid, etc.) and you can use it for your body. I only use a drop for each body part. One for upper arm, one for forearm, and I change the amount proportionately from there.

This is a good cleanser to use for acne skin, but I don't think it would clear up my skin by itself. I recommend this soap to everyone, acne or not. All around a great product.

I love Dr. Bronner's Liquid Soap!! Seriously it is AMAZING. It is the best and most gentle, yet effective face cleanser/wash I have ever used! For real. I use the peppermint and I love the cool tingly sensation it gives my face.The packaging is dank and it's all natural/organic/fair trade/vegan. I love love love it. :) Now, that being said, it doesn't seem to treat my acne alone. For almost a month I have been using it and I now have a couple more pimples and some blackheads than before. HOWEVER, my face is normally extremely oily (so oily it looks wet due to years of BP). I think that is the reason, not because of Dr. Bronner's Soap. I was hoping it would help with oiliness but so far it hasn't. I still am totally in love with this product. <3 Go buy this right now. Seriously, get ready and go to Target and buy this shiz. :)

I've been cleasing my face with this liquid soap for 3 weeks now along with moisturizing with jojoba oil. Let me tell you, it is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL. I use to suffer with cystic acne and the combonation of this cleanser with jojoba oil has healed my skin. I only have 1 active bump on my skin at this point and it will heal within 3 days. At first, the jojoba oil with bring to surface any bacteria under the skin, but don't be alarmed because your skin is healing. My skin is healthly now and really looks beautiful and radiant!

I picked up the tree tea variety of Dr. Bronner's a couple of weeks ago after reading some reviews on Acne.org, and OH MY GOD it is amazing! I have been battling acne since I was 16, have gone through two bouts of (unsuccessful) accutane, (Unsuccessful) tetracycline, various other pills, birth control pills, everything. I have used various acids designed for acne, salicylic and others. NOTHING worked for me. Sure, some lessened my acne, but nothing got rid of my occasional cysts, or blackheads, or little comedones, that is until now. I have been clear since I started using Dr. Bronners two weeks ago! YAY! I a couple of very diluted drops of the soap every evening to wash off my makeup. That's it. Then I moisturize (as I have for years, this doesn't make me break out) with Weleda almond face moisturizer. Then I sleep and wake up with almost perfect skin (years of acne has left me with a few parting gifts like enlarged pores and a few fading red spots). It's like a freakin' miracle. Even the blackheads that have been in my nose for at least 10 years are disappearing... Dr. Bronner's isn't a miracle, I have been working really hard on healing my acne and healing my body the last two months. Along with Dr. Bronner's I have been eating better (more organic fruits and veg, no fried foods, less processed foods), taking zinc and omega 3 suppliments, getting accupuncture, and doing yoga. Attacking my acne from all sides, naturally! AND it works! Don't use anything on your skin that you wouldn't use on a baby's skin- having extra chemicals in your system will not help your acne in the long run! Your skin is your body's biggest organ and a means of eliminating waste. Chemicals are waste. Think about it. I would say this regime works best for stubborn adult hormonal acne. I'm SO happy!

I have been using Dr. Bronner's lavender castile soap for a couple months now and I love it. I have tried all of the "gentle" soaps on the market and nothing has been as good as this one. I have had no adverse reactions and my skin has improved a lot since using it. I cannot say if it is the soap or the combination of everything in my regimen that's is keeping my skin clear but I have no intention of changing soaps.
