Pros:

all-natural, affordable, effective!

Cons:

watery consistency but i remedy this by putting it in a foaming dispenser; not only does this make the foam for you but it also helps you use less thus making it last forever!

this is the best cleanser i've ever used! i've definitely noticed a decrease in my acne/clogged pores. about 3 months ago i had terrible cystic acne and well over 100 clogged pores scattered over my cheeks. fast forward to now - my skin is 99% clear!

Pros:

It's all natural and doesn't contain that many ingredients, which can irritate the skin. After 4 uses, I noticed my skin a little brighter and clearer.

Cons:

The smell is not very appealing. And you can only get it at Trader Joe's.

I use the face wash at night along with the tea tree oil pads and vitamin E oil. I have noticed that my face is clearing up and my scars are getting less noticable. I've been doing this for 4 days straight. I can't wait to see more results a month from now!

Pros:

Left a nice clean feeling when I washed it off. Literally squeaky clean, and tingly. All natural.

Cons:

Didn't help with acne whatsoever, bad breakouts, BLACKHEADS everywhere.

I wouldn't buy this product. I'm quite disappointed that after all of the great reviews I read, I bought it with no satisfaction, at all. Instead of clearing my skin it broke it out. I already had blackheads around my nose area, and using this stuff, cause me to get them everywhere else! I formed at least 4 new pimples by using this stuff. I switched back over to the brand I was using, Sothys, and my face got healthier looking after 1st use. So glad I switched back over, this stuff does NOT work for me.

Pros:

It's all natural and the price is good and if you want to see what you would look like with a face lift don't apply lotion.

Cons:

Made my face break out in a horrible rash with red dry patches and blisters filled with clear fluid. Made my face tight and dry and all the lotion in the world could not hydrate it.

I used it for 2 weeks to see if it was just all the bacteria in my skin coming out but no I must have had a bad allergic reaction. I used it for so long because of all the good reviews but stopped because I was sick of all my co-workers asking me all the time what happened to your face. I just switched products and am now using the desert essence castle soap with tea tree oil, this product has 4 ingredients(castle soap, olive oil, coconut oil and tea tree oil) the thoroughly face wash had like 10 and some of those I have never used before so I hope this will work for me but so far my face doesn't feel dry and it smells better then the other face wash and you can also use this as hand soap and body wash

Pros:

I felt good using it, knowing that it was natural. It left my skin feeling soft and a little glowy (the first two or three days) I'll admit.

Cons:

It hasn't really improved my complexion though. In fact my pores are larger and I still have blackheads. I'm breaking out a bit more now even though my complexion usually improves in the summer. The product is also runny, not foamy.

Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's how it interacted to my moistuizer (Neutrogena w/salicylic acid), but if you want to try it just get the smaller size bottle first. I'm thinking of trying jojoba oil next because I heard it cleanses pores.

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:

Not greasy

Cons:

Doesn't foam up

Amazing product that clears up my skin fast, or at least leaves it feeling very very clean. The tea tree oil definitely helps and I would recommend this product for people with oily or combination skin.

Pros:

Washes well enough, 100% vegan for those who care (I'm indifferent)

Cons:

I cannot stand the smell of this product. It must be the tea tree oil in combination with the other essential oils, but I never got used to the smell. It is also, as others have mentioned, very runny.

If you want a natural product, cruelty free, etc. this is a good option. If you are sensitive to fragrances, this may be too much. It's not expensive but a bit more than I prefer to pay.
