Acne.org : Cleanser

Count the surfactants; PEG-80 Sorbitan Laurate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Trideceth Sulfate, Sodium Lauroamphoacetate, Sodium Laureth 13 Carboxylate, Disodium Cocamphodiacetate. ALL of these are things that lather, READ: SKIN STRIPPING. I don't know who came up with this formula but it's awful. If you are using this right now and you are A) Breaking out B) itchy and dry C) Rashy This is why. Cocamidopropyl Betaine was voted "cosmetic irritant of the year" in 2004-2005 by the American Dermatology Association Is this hyped up, over priced and of poor quality YES. You would do better with any number of cleansers INCLUDING ones with SLS as this cleanser is much more drying and stripping. Terrible product

Will not re-purchase broke out even more. Did not even help to reduce any pimples. Instead, I broke out even more. I had such high hopes for this product. Back to the drawing board for me.

I really liked this cleanser and it really made my skin smooth but i just cant use this cleanser because i think im allergic to it. when i dont but BP after this cleanser it doesnt give me rash but every time in the evening when i clean my skin with this and but BP on, the next morning my skin is red and sensitive and has rash. when i stopped using this cleanser the rash went away.. could i be allergic to this while it is for sensitive skin?

If you decide to return this product, make sure to read their policy. They will only refund you for the item & not for the expensive shipping and handling ($8.30) that you paid for at the time of purchase. Also you have to pay an additional S&H ($8) when you return the item. So I paid $9.50 for the item, but I took a loss of $16.30! Does that make sense? Hmmmm...shady!!!!

I used this for several months now along with 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. I would use this at the end of each shower before I got out. I shower in the morning and in the night. This stuff didn't work. It would leave my skin feeling weighted down too. Your best bet is when you get acne to go to a dermatologist and work on your acne in collaboration with them. You will save money/time/stress in the long run. I have had acne since 14 years old. I am 22 now. Tried many things for nothing to ever work.

I had really high hopes. I tried. I have the MOST sensitive skin and I get allergic reactions to everything. I thought this would be perfect. I wasn't even breaking out when I started using it. I ended up getting a ton of little zits on my forehead and some painful ones. So no, I won't continue using. And side note - it took a month to get to my house. Really annoying and a waste of money.

Will not purchase again.
