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:

Cleared up my acne. This stuff is a miracle worker. I love it.

Cons:

Kind of watery, hurts horribly if you get in your eyes

My face feels so clean when I get done. I have sensitive skin, and this doesn't irritate it at all. I put it in one of those soap pumps that makes your soap foamy. That was the best thing to do. Do not get that stuff in your eyes. It will hurt so bad. I think it is the castile soap that does that. At least try it. I should be in a commercial for this stuff. My face was covered with acne, all I ever wanted was clear skin. I used this stuff for a few months, and my skin completely cleared up. If I use something else, I will break out. You have to try this stuff if you have acne.

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:

Get rid of oil with out over drying, all natural ingredients, reduces acne.

Cons:

hard to find- got mine at Trader Joes

This product is great! No weird chemicals that you cant pronounce, just natural cleansing without stripping. Great for those with sensitive skin. I wash my face with then, use bp, and then jojoba oil for moisturizer. My skin hasn't looked this good in years. with bp and jojoba oil. This face wash works so well I've been able to reduce the amount of bp I'm using.

Pros:

gentle.

Cons:

weird smell, watery, not as effective as i'd like.

i had high hopes for this, but after about a month, i'm not too impressed. it hasn't made my skin worse, but it hasn't made it much better either. maybe i need to give it more time, but i'd really prefer that it start working now.

Pros:

Thoroughly clean without drying the skin.

Cons:

Smell... It took me really a long time to get used to it

I've been using it for nearly a year and I could tell my pimples are slowly going away. It's not a product offering a overnight disappear to the redness, but you could tell the changes throughout the time. I prefer some natural stuff instead of a chemical tube, even though the latter one may have quicker effect. I love this buy.

Pros:

Incredibly cleansing, not overly drying, removes almost all oil

Cons:

The smell takes some time to get used to (the tea tree oil smell gets you). Stings your eyes a bit if you don't rinse well.

Incredible incredible product. I've been using it for almost a year now and I won't use anything else. I was left without it for a week and felt like I couldn't live anymore. It's great. The wash itself is a bit watery, but you rub it together in your hands to create a lather. I rub in circles on my problem areas, across my forehead and around my T-zone. After washing, the skin is smooth, oil-free, and feels very tight. As if the pores are growing smaller. After using this product faithfully, two times a day, for a month. My acne almost completely cleared up! Overall, I have no complaints. And I will definitely keep using this until they discontinue it. Which I hope they don't!
