Pros:

helps remove light makeup and my face feels light and clean afterwards

Cons:

very runny (sorta like really soapy water)

i like this product, and finally switched to this because i was sick of OTC cleansers leaving my face feeling dirty and dry. i wanted a mild natural cleanser that left my face feeling clean, didn't irritate, and had acne fighting ingredients, and this was it. the cleanser didn't really do much for my acne, but i kept using it because my face felt cleaner and didn't dry me out. the redness on my face was reduced. However, after using this for a year, this cleanser kept my skin clear long after i stopped using Differin. Tea tree oil is the only topical anti-acne product that I use now.

Pros:

Affordable, all natural, quality product. Doesn't cause break outs or irritation. Helps reduce acne.

Cons:

As many mentioned above, it does smell a bit funny. Also stings a little when you use it, although this could be due to my sensitive skin.

I have combination (dry in winter, oily in summer), skin and this product has worked very efficiently to my skin care needs. Although I am a bit worried because my skin has been drier than normal since using this product, but nothing like with other cleansers. This product has dried my skin, but nothing like anyhting else has. For the first time, I can actually see a difference in my skin. Within the first few days, my skin was vibrant, glowing and actually looked healthy! As for the breakouts, I did experience ONE pimple, and amazingly enough, it disappeared by itself the next day. For those of you who have moderate acne as I do, you know what a big deal this is. Anyway ladies/gents, so far so good for this cleanser. And I have also used and been repeatedly disappointed with facial cleansers from Clean and Clear to Acne Free (imitation ProActiv product).

Pros:

Ive been using this a couple of days and it makes me feel like my skin is going to highly benefit from it .. acne has started to diminish. BLACKHEADS POOF GONE!

Cons:

Its very drying anf leaves me with that taut skin feeling which means it stripped my skin of its natural moisture. Maybe Ill put on jojoba afterwards like that others reveiwer recommended.

Great product and I love the herbal tea tree smell.

Pros:

Makes my skin squeaky clean! Gets rid of breakouts fast. Good when you are in the Hot Arizona Sun..Works good, but not amazing.

Cons:

Doesn't help my acne to go away for good. My face is oily and it doesn't help my face with that..Too runny!

Its a good face wash for light acne not severe acne. Doesn't get rid of oily skin..Its easy to get in Az from trader joes. Overall good face wash. Not amazing.. The smell is different when you use it for the first time. Do not get it near your eyes or else they will burn! It hurts, beware! Overall Good! Get it if you like your face feeling fresh!

Pros:

Cleared up my skin better than any other face wash, refreshing, lasts a long time, and best yet- eco-friendly!

Cons:

I found the scent a little hard to get used to-- it's not a bad smell, but it's certainly different. It also dries out the skin A LOT in the winter. Have to pair it with a face lotion.

I bought this on a whim, not knowing that it's good for oily skin, and my face has never been clearer! I absolutely love this stuff. I can practically see and feel my face glowing after I use it. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Pros:

This stuff works very well during the summer when I get oily skin. I notice when I breakout, after using this for a few days my pimples will be almost gone. It also is really good at prevent breakouts.

Cons:

Liquidy, doesn't foam. Stings the eyes so be careful. I wouldn't suggest using this during the winter or if you have dry skin because it will just make your skin dryer.

Works best for those with oily skin.

Pros:

100%-Organic, Alcohol-Free, Cruelty-Free(Not animal tested, all these mainstream, harsh cleansers test cruel and repulsive chemicals on innocent creatures such as dogs and cats!)

Cons:

If used too much may cause your skin to feel tight. Found only in Trader Joes(not really much of a con because that place is wonderful!)

Cleanses pores, makeup, oil, ect! This product will help in the long run because it is ALL NATURAL you can't do wrong with it! Use it with warm water, then massage the Joboba Oil(also found in Trader Joes) after, unclogs pores as well! Natural oil that will HELP A LOT, RESEARCH IT!!!! ESP GOOD FOR THOSE WITH OIL/COMBINATION SKIN!!!! This cleanser is worth trying, if you don't see results within like two days who cares, IT DOES YOUR SKIN GOOD! ALCOHOL-FREE, cleansers today have alcohol, which causes skin to dry and thus WRINKLES! THEY DO THIS TO MAKE MORE MONEY SO WE CAN SPEND ON ANTI-WRINKLE CREAMS LATER ON!!!!! BUY ORGANIC!!!!!!!!!

Pros:

Its organic and not harsh on your skin. It's helps with acne and overall cleansing of the face. You don't have to worry about what it will do to your face.

Cons:

It's runny, and usually sold at hippy stores.

This product is good, and you'll feel good about using it, kinda like how you feel better eating something healthy and refreshing, verses something fatty and greasy.Booya. And If I may add, that AZTEC SECRET INDIAN HEALING CLAY IS AMAZING. It works amazing on acne!!! Now, this stuff is found in organic stores too, like co-ops, whole foods, or a hippy vegan, grocery store. Believe me, this is amazing stuff. Plus, if you have pussy pimples and you dont want to pop them in fear of spreading it, (especially if you a bunch of pimple in a group) then instead of washing it off, peel it and then the puss will be attached to the clay! Its pretty sweet.

Pros:

Cleanses skin very well. One bottle will last for a few months, all you need is one pump. Organic. Gentle.

Cons:

This product is runny so you have to be careful about handling the bottle but other than that I have no complaints.

This is great for people with sensitive skin. I have been using this product for 3 months and am still using the original bottle I bought. Highly recommended even if you don't have acne. Great overall cleanser!

Pros:

No harsh chemicals, All natural, Skin feels smooth, doesn't clog pores, rinses without leaving residues...

Cons:

The only con is that it is too runny. The other day I accidentally knocked over the bottle (although it was tightly closed) it was leaking through the dispenser. This product is too good to be wasted!!!

I love this facewash!!! I have been using it for a few days now and trust me when i tell you that this product is amazing. I have tried almost everything that is suppose to "cure" acne and everything as failed me. Except this!!! Before I brought this wash, i was using the tea tree oil cleansing pads from desert essence. I decided to just try the wash since it was from the same brand and also because the cleansing pads worked so well. This is my first time writing a review for an acne product, but this is worth it. I will continue to use this wash. SO far, i have not had any new pimples, just old ones that are drying up.
