Pros:

Natural
Controls Oil
Non-drying
Keeps skin clear
Affordable

Cons:

None

I love this product. I have dry, acne prone, sensitive skin, but using this natural cleanser has eliminated the sensitivity and cleared my acne. If my skin is feeling dry, I only massage it in for about 10 seconds (the bottle says to do 1 minute) but longer after working out or sweating. Just avoid your eye area, as you always should with acne products, and follow up with an oil-free moisturizer. I actually swab my face with a cotton ball full of green tea after cleansing, and then finish up with the desert essence thoroughly clean moisturizer (which I JUST started using, so far so good!). My face is almost entirely cleared up! I also squirt some on my loofa and use it on my chest and back. If you buy the economy size refill, this cleanser is VERY affordable!

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!

love
Love this face wash! Works great for my sensative, acne-prone, combo skin. The best natural face wash I've found, it gets your skin Thoroughly Clean!! I try to use as much all natural as I can and this def one of the best natural cleansers I have tried. I find Tea Tree very soothing and it kills all the germies that get on your face during the day.

Pros:

smells great, drys my skin and my face is cleaner then before and skin is cleaner... I love it a lot and would recommend for anyone ...

Cons:

At times (depending on the weather) my skin gets to dry, but i don't mind :)

I would totally get this product again if trader Joes has it again for cheap, this face product isn't cheap to me, but i would get it for $4...

Pros:

Excellent for fighting bacteria

Cons:

Slightly drying

I use this on my face AND on my body. It works better than the body wash and I do not have problems with body odor anymore. In addition to Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Facewash I also use Mychelle products on my face and have been quite pleased with them. The pumkin face lotion is great and the sunscreen is a must. Love the fruit fiesta face soap too and the scrub for every other day. ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN!

Pros:

-Excellent at removing makeup
-Cleared acne
-Improved skin tone
-Reduced redness
-Removes oil
-Huge bottle (32OZ)

Cons:

-Drying
-Stings if you get in to eyes

This product is EXCELLENT. After three weeks of usage, I threw out all of the other cleansers I had, because this has taken over everything they did and done it better. :) After seeing Dearly's post, I decided to try it, and it's def. worth it! I also use the Pretika Sonicdermabrasion facial brush to cleanse with it. At first I was concerned it would be too harsh, but it hasn't been so far and I'm finally getting control of my skin again. It can be drying-- my solution was to buy the desert essence jojoba oil and mix a drop with my moisturizer (neutrogena sensitive skin-oil free) and it's worked like a charm. This cleanser is amazing.

Pros:

Controls oil. A little goes a long way.

Cons:

Can be slightly drying but I have found that if I use this once a day (usually at night) and then Cetaphil once a day(usually in morning) that my skin is just fine. I just make sure to alternate so it doesnt dry my skin out.

It has improved my skin tremendously, I cut out all sacilyic acid and my skin has never looked better. I did have hormonal acne around my mouth and always on my chin and it is finally shrinking, I definately reccomend this cleanser with a gentle one and a light lotion.

Pros:

Works very fast
Natural
Vegan
Gluten free
Doesn't test on animals
No dangerous chemicals
All natural

Cons:

Smell is strong and some people may not like it
A little expensive

This is amazing. I'm a huge fan of desert essence because they are natural, mostly vegan, don't test on animals, and a good enough price. I have their conditioner, lotion, soap, and shampoo. They all smell great and I decided to get a face cleanser. I have a combination of oily and sensitive skin and medium acne. I have used it 3 times so far and my acne is much less noticeable. I wet my face with warm water, gently exfoliate and wash it off with this. Then I apply lotion. It works awesome.

Pros:

Cleared my skin, miracle, miracle, miracle, non-offensive smell, MIRACLE

Cons:

None

I've had moderate to severe acne since I was 11 (almost 10 years.) I started using this cleanser a few months ago, and I've been 100% clear ever since. I absolutely love this cleanser. I buy the huge jug of it, which cost me about $11. Totally worth it, and totally recommended. I cleanse twice a day with this cleanser and the Pretika Sonicdermabrasion facial brush. Can't live without these products!
