Doesn't make it worse
I tried this for a period of time but I think my skin is too sensitive. When I wash my face with only water, bp from the regimen and moisturize, my skin is the happiest. This cleanser didn't necessarily make my skin worse, I actually liked how balanced my skintone looked, but when I had used this for a couple of months it just felt unnecessary and I still had small white under-the-surface bumps. I think this cleanser could work wonders for people who are not as sensitive though! Just make sure you wash all of it off.

LOVED THISSS!!!
I've always been a fan of Lush, but I was sceptical when it came to their skincare (I just thought it would be too weak). However, after hearing great things about this soap, I decided to try it out. I stuck to it for about three months (and got through one bar- it lasts for ages considering I used an ample amount twice a day), and my face was almost completely clear apart from the tiny under-the-surface ones that are stubborn as heck and feel rough. For that reason, I moved on to another product, but I do wish I continued with this. TO be honest, I'm just glad I have it as a back-up in case I don't find anything else that's as (or more) effective.

Hey. Thanks for the review. Can you please tell me that which product you used for those under-the-surface ones?

Amazing cleanser.

Pros:

Very good in preventing breakouts
Smells nice
Doesn't sting or irritate

Cons:

Not recommended for overly-sensitive skin.
Doesn't lather up too well

I've been using this cleanser for a good while now and I'd use it daily, it prevents breakouts, in my case, but does little in preventing acne. It calms down existing acne a lot, which is great seeing as I'd been looking for a cleanser that wouldn't dry out or sting. Although when buying it, a staff member had warned saying that sensitive skin can react badly to it, I'd bought it despite the warning, as I do not have sensitive skin although the employee had basically explained it had caused him to come out in blotchy spots, although he re-assured this product was probably more often than not very effective. I'd recommend it for anyone without exceptionally sensitive skin.

Pros:

skin feels very clean after a wash
calms my acne
easy to wash off

Cons:

sometimes stings on my acne spots
weird chunks hurting my face
didn't prevent from getting new acne
hard to get it leather up in my hands

I wont use this soap everyday, but I liked how it washes off easily and leaves clean feeling. Added info: when I used herbalism from lush, it broke me out in places I have never broken out, and it has been 2 months since I used this product, and still trying to get rid of acne that troubled using herbalism. BAD BAD BAD!

Pros:

It doesn't irritate skin, leaves skin feeling clean, lasts a long time, calms angry acne!

Cons:

It smells of camomile which is not for everyone, it's expensive, you have to store the bar in a container if you're keeping it in the shower because it will disintegrate. Didn't clear up my acne, just calmed it.

It's a good product. I get quite painful pimples so this helped calm them down a lot. I understand what another reviewer said about the exfoliating component of the bar but this one does not have abrasive bits in it. In fact they're quite soft and in no way feel as if your face it being scrubbed away. If you buy a solid block of this (I think mine is 100g) you can cut slices off it to make it last longer. I think My block will make about 6 slices which may last a couple of weeks each. It didn't get rid of my pimples, just got rid of the redness and for that I'd recommend it.

Pros:

Gentle, healing, moisturizing; leaves skill soft and supple.

Cons:

Doesn't do a great job at removing makeup.

This soap went a long way in healing my face after a bad reaction to Retin-A Micro (rash, scaling, drying, bumps). It leaves your skin super soft and smooth; does not strip essential oils from face. The jury's still out on whether it heals breakouts, but it doesn't do anything to aggravate spots, as so many cleansers do. Doesn't get all the makeup off, though, so I scrub using a gentle bamboo face cloth, and follow with toner.

Pros:

I adore the smell, thick and creamy, non iritable, very cheap, lasts long

Cons:

Only a mild acne controlling effect.. but it washed away all make-up, and used in conjunction with the Vanishing Cream & Tea Tree Toner, my skin is definitley improving after just a month!

Only been using this cleanser for a month or so, and there's still 90% left! No packaging, and fresh, natural ingredients which is hard to find on such a low budget. Using with Lush's Tea Tree Toner and Vanishing Cream as a moisturiser, I am no longer breaking out every day.. only the odd single spot every few days! Progress! Worth a try, especially if you go in store and ask for a finger sized sample for free, so you'll find out if it's the one for you :) Really hoping this doesn't stop working like other cleansers I've tried as my bathroom smells like a Lush shop now! I can understand the scent might not be for everyone, but it sure is okay for me. 4/5 overall!
