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.

Pros:

Smells great! Tea Tree oil is a natural antiseptic. Bottle lasts a while, since a little goes a long way. Affordable!!

Cons:

May be hard to find. Found mine at a local health food store, but saw it cheaper at Trader Joes.

It didn't completely eliminate my acne, but it did not make my skin worse. It actually cleared up a lot of my back acne. The key is to lather the soap up in your hands first, and then wash very gently with fingertips. If you wash too roughly your skin will get too dry and peel. I have been using this product for 5 weeks, twice a day, and have moderate acne that has calmed down some. I am a long time acne sufferer and started college this fall. I have tried just about everything over the years (antibiotics, creams, soaps, Proactive, Differin...) and am happy with this face wash and plan to keep using it.

Pros:

cleans all oil away, leaves skin soft, looking better

Cons:

none

I've been using this face wash for 5 weeks (actually, the tea tree oil/sunflower seed kind... but it's basically the same ingredients), and it's the best one I've ever used. After using it, my face feels SO soft and clean... and doesn't make my acne look worse after washing, like other cleaners have done for me. Try it. I've also been doing other things (chinese herbs, supplements, etc.), but using this wash has coincided with my skin clearing up a good deal... try it, at least. Stick with it. It isn't harsh, it feels good.
