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:

Not very expensive
Cleans face really well
Smells good
Helps clear up acne

Cons:

Takes a while to start helping clear acne.
Stings REALLY BADLY if you get it into your eyes
Is really runny

This is a very good foaming cleanser for acne-prone skin. It smells good (to me, although some might find it a little strong) and feels good and refreshing. I use it twice a day, and sometimes in the shower. It helps get rid of oil and dirt. But believe me (and I found this out the hard way lol), it REALLY STINGS if you get it in your eyes!!! The other main con is that it is runny (almost the consistency of water, so it is kind of hard to use. But is is definitely helping my acne. I use it with Duac and tea tree oil in aloe.

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:

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.

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:

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:

All natural organic. Not irritating. Inexpensive. Works well. Has a big refill bottle available.

Cons:

Stings badly if you get it in your eyes. Does not help with red marks.

This product is absolutely amazing. I use it religiously twice a day. It sure beats the chemical products out there. My skin feels so clean and soft afterwards. I will never go without this product. This is worth a try if you have acne. Substitute this for your daily topical regimen and see what happens.

Pros:

I first tried this at a friends house, and was amazed how clean and different my face felt after using it. I got the big size bottle, 32oz. I love this product, no break outs since first use.
I see different results from diff people..try it.

Cons:

None so far..I will post again if anything comes up.

I paid 10.99 at Wholefoods for 32oz bottle, will be buying foam dispenser, and everything should be peachy. I've tried so many soups and creams, this by far the best cleaner for me.

natural and fair price
I am a diehard fan of tea tree oil so I always liked this product. It is not my favorite tea tree cleanser (that would be Tea MD) but it is an excellent fall-back because it's easy to get in most natural foods stores and very well-priced. I always used just a little bit, probably one small pump and then lathered over my face and it worked really well. Too much is definitely intense, especially for dry skin. I say give it a try because it's hard to go wrong with TT oil!

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).
