Desert Essence : Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with Organic Tea Tree Oil and Awapuhi

I switched to all natural products after having a bad skin reaction to an ingredient that's in everyday drug store products. I wanted to love this product, but this made my face break out, and become rough and red. On the other hand, my shoulders and back like it. So now I use it for skin clearing body wash. Be aware that this product is very liquidy. It has the same consistency as water, so be careful.

I bought this at WholeFoods, thinking that a more natural product would not irritate my skin. I was wrong. My skin was red after rinsing the cleanser off. The very next day, new breakouts emerged.

After reading many great reviews, I gave this a try. My face felt super clean after using and the blackheads on my nose were zapped away within a week. However, my skin became excessively dry (as many have reported) and it wasn't relieved by moisturizer. I also began to get very severe cystic acne. After continued use for 3 weeks, the condition did not improve. I tried Trader Joe's Gentle Spa cleanser and all the con symptoms went away within 2 days. This product didn't work for me, but it may work for you. For $5, it's worth a try.

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.

If you tend to be very oily and shiny oily than I think this will be a good fit. If you have combo skin and sensitive skin- THIS IS NOT GOOD.

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

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.

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.
