Pros:

Excellent control of breakouts

Cons:

None

I use this as a body wash as well as for my face. Especially nice for breakout prone areas on chest, shoulders, and back. Abandonded "Sea Breeze" for this product. Sea Breeze, or any alcohol based product, provides temporary relief but causes breakouts to return in force. Tea Tree oil controls the breakouts and also seems to prevent new breakouts. Great for teens or adults. I only wish they had a less expensive, body wash version, but this one works well for both purposes. Highly recommended!

Pros:

-inexpensive
-easy to use

Cons:

none

I'm new to this product but it is already helping me soooo much! I use the moisturizer in conjunction with their face wash. (Same brand desert essence.) highly recommend this to others, have used neutrogena before, proactiv, a lot of expensive spa products, murad, philosophy.. i haven't seen results with those products as i have with just using this system for two nights.

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:

Cheap, natural

Cons:

Dried me out and caused more breakouts

I believe the coconut oil in this dried me out as coconut oil always does. Unfortunately my skin got worse and worse and drier and drier as I continued to use it and then I ended up breaking out badly.

Pros:

Gives a very fresh, clean feeling

Cons:

Smell isn't bad, just different
Too drying for me :(

Overall, I really liked this product, but alas, it gave me very tiny bumps on my cheeks. Reason: my skin is sensitive and this dried it out. Which is a shame, because I loved the squeaky clean feeling it gave. If you have sensitive skin, might not be your best bet. But otherwise, I'd give it a try.

Pros:

cheap, organic, natural and scored a 1 on [link removed]

Cons:

clogged pores, broke me out.

i've used this product for a week now..my problem is dealing with extremely oily skin and some small breakouts. the first few days I was loving it too much because it seemed to clean good, so I got my hopes up and like always with most products u end up being dissapointed after a week or two. well my forehead and nose feels like sand paper right now from my pores being clogged and its kinda rare for me to break out in painful red pinples, well i have one now on my cheeck, another one below my eye like the cheek bone area and on my forehead wich is extremely rare cause I havent broke out on my forehead in years. by the way its drying, so twice a day might make your face feel tight and specially witht clogged pores its an uncomofrtable feeling. dont let my comment scare you, everyone is different. try it, might work for you.

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.
