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

I am a diehard fan of tea tree oil so I always liked this product. It is not my favorite tea tree cleanser (that would be Tea MD) but it is an excellent fall-back because it's easy to get in most natural foods stores and very well-priced. I always used just a little bit, probably one small pump and then lathered over my face and it worked really well. Too much is definitely intense, especially for dry skin. I say give it a try because it's hard to go wrong with TT oil!

I like the product. I have a mild rosacea. It doesn't irritate my skin (most products do). It is not drying my skin, but I use it with cool water. It may be a key. I use it twice a day. My dauther started using it and her black comedons are less noticable now.

This is a very good foaming cleanser for acne-prone skin. It smells good (to me, although some might find it a little strong) and feels good and refreshing. I use it twice a day, and sometimes in the shower. It helps get rid of oil and dirt. But believe me (and I found this out the hard way lol), it REALLY STINGS if you get it in your eyes!!! The other main con is that it is runny (almost the consistency of water, so it is kind of hard to use. But is is definitely helping my acne. I use it with Duac and tea tree oil in aloe.

Overall this product is utterly amazing. Not only is it completely natural and cheap but it also works very well. After using it just once it leaves the skin radiant and almost brighter. I had acne all over my cheeks mostly and my forehead and it has minimized it a lot compared to other expensive products I've bought before. I would recommend using a moisturizer afterwards because it tends to leave the skin very dry. I've only had 2 weeks of using this product but in only 2 weeks I've seen improvement and will hope for more.

I'm now using the Trader Joes brand (which is essentially the same thing). I use it once day in the morning and put about 4-5 drops of jojoba oil on my face when I'm out of the shower and my normal oily skin is fine throughout the day. It smells very nice, herbal w/o being feminine. I only use it once a day and I don't know how my face would react if used it as night as well. So far I haven't needed to.

I like this product, because it isn't medicated. I'm pretty sure desert essence has redone their whole skin care line and that this wash is now slightly different, and has a matching moisturizer. It makes my skin feel great, and not just clean but healthy. It really got rid of the "hurt" that I have with acne. The moisturizer it comes with has marigold and chamomile which are natural lighteners, good for scarring. If you're looking for a body wash they have this [link removed] It works really well at reducing my oiliness.

I really like this cleanser... I recently got a foaming dispenser and I love the feel of it even more now! I doubted it at first because of the dryness and the runny consistency, but now that I put it in a foaming dispenser, it works very well for me. I highly recommend adding jojoba oil to the cleanser because its good for your skin, and it will help with the dryness if it bothers you. It didn't clear up my skin 100%, but there is definite improvement. (Almost nothing will clear up my skin because of birth control aka hormones, so I think this is my best bet). Overall, its a great natural alternative to putting a bunch of detergents on my face, it makes my skin soft, and it helped clear my skin up!

I use this in conjunction with pure jojoba oil and my face has been very pleased with me. Finally* The best part, I don't have to use a toner (which i've always hated).

I paid 10.99 at Wholefoods for 32oz bottle, will be buying foam dispenser, and everything should be peachy. I've tried so many soups and creams, this by far the best cleaner for me.

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!
