Cons:

Expensive
Made my face worse
Contains SLS

I began using this right after I developed a skin allergy due to SLS. I stopped using soaps and shampoos with it, but because I thought this was a natural product I still used it. My face broke out, and continued to break out. I had bumps under my skin. They weren't exactly pimples, red, or itchy. It was annoying and it never got better. The light bulb went off, and I checked the ingredients and sure enough, SLS was in it. I stopped using it, and after a few weeks, I looked semi-normal again. I had high hopes for this product, but no luck!

Pros:

Smells good
Feels good

Cons:

Drying
Too soapy

I saw this in an email. I had to try it because everyone says tea tree oil is good for the skin. It ended up feeling like a fancy soap for my hands rather than my face. Nice, but didn't work for me.
