August 4, 2011

Pros:

Gets your skin clean, that's about it.

Cons:

Can be harsh on skin
Very little lather
Smells funny
Bad for combination skin

I used this face wash twice daily with no other acne treatment products, and there was no difference in my skin after going through two bottles. It can be a bit drying immediately after use, and after a few hours I was more oily than usual because my skin was trying to replenish itself. I think this is best for people with very light acne and use spot treatment in addition. Make sure you try to lather it as much as possible before applying to prevent irritation.

Pros:

cleared a few breakouts

Cons:

Dried out my skin
Caused irritation
Redness
Flaky

It was my first time using it, I heard about it on About from a beauty advicer. She claimed it to be one of the best inexpensive cleansers. However I didn't like it. I didn't notice at first because I was so focused on clearing my breakouts, which it did clear some. However it irritated my skin. My skin is not sensitive but after this product not even moisturizer could calm it down. It felt very itchy and dry. Usually I have oily skin and some moisture to my face, however not after using this product. It made my skin very dull and dry.

Pros:

clears acne fast

Cons:

leaves skin dry and itchy only after a few uses even if you use a moisturizer afterwards.

I wrote a review on this after the 1st use and it was positive. But after a few uses my skin got very dry and itchy so I had to go back and write a negative review. I'm surprised that it made my skin dry because it was semi-oily esspecially on the nose. Even if you do have oily skin it will dry you out in only like 3 days.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Dryed my skin
Made me breakout
Burnt my skin
It has given me a rash

This product left me with a chemical burn. I do not recommend using it. Especially if you have sensitive skin. I am now left with a swollen, red, flaky and orange peel textured face. It is not nice at all. My skin is not particularly sensitive, and given the bottle said "gentle" i gave it a shot. My skin is naturally oily and i was hoping it would clear up my bad blackheads, but it had the opposite affect. The cost i put is New Zealand dollars.

Pros:

works better than a lot of other topical products out there who claims 2 clear ur acne like exposed skin care. It lathers nice and my face doesnt feel waxy.

Cons:

Drying man use a MOISTURIZER! and it doesn't prevent future breakouts.

give it a try it does work..I'm hoping 2 receive my Palma Christy face wash and bar soap soon so I will write another review on it and let yall know how it's doin 4 me

Pros:

It reduced my acne and my skin is a lot clearer

Cons:

You should use it but use apricot scrub at the same time!

Pros:

Smells okay, lathers nicely, made my skin feel soft and clean every time, affordable, and I liked the pump.

Cons:

My skin felt tight afterwards (I like that feeling but I want a cleanser that is going to clean my skin, not dry it out), I didn't see much of an improvement, even though I used this product for a few months.

Try it out, it may or may not work for you. This product made my skin FEEL clean, but I didn't SEE the change I was hoping for. It did absolutely nothing to get rid of my white heads, but it seemed to help with pustules. I did continue to get acne during the time that I used this product. I do recommend this cleanser because of all the pros that I listed above. After cleansing, I applied moisturizer and my skin felt fine - it was never overly dry.
