Pros:

Soap free, gentle, clears skin while hydrating

Cons:

None

My skin is super sensitive to soaps, fragrances, harsh acne medications, you name it. I usually only use this all natural French skincare line that you can only get through an esthetician but one month I ran out and couldnt order more in time so I tried the Alba Coconut Milk wash. I was really skeptical because I usually associate any skincare products I can buy at the drug store with being bad quality and causing me to break out. When I first tried it, I didn't like the greasy feeling it left on my skin and I was sure it was going to clog my pores but it never did. It's been a great cleanser. No breakouts, no allergic reactions, and my complexion looks so even and hydrated that I only need a little concealer under my eyes and I'm set for makeup! I will caution not to use this to remove eye makeup or cleanse around the eye area. The minty feeling is too intense for this very thin and sensitive area of skin which may be why some people are experiencing dry patches.

Pros:

everything dried me out, which subsequently caused pimples. this leaves my skin moist in preparation for dan's benzoyl gel to the point that i don't need moisturizer afterward. it smells like the most delicious thin mint cookie!

Cons:

seems pricey ($11) but it lasts for months. there really are no cons.

an absolute joy to use...creamy and expensive-feeling, smells fantastic, and after seven years of hard searching for a face wash that worked, i finally found the best one ever. my skin has been blemish-free, moist and great smelling for months since i began using this product.
