I like this stuff to use on a daily basis. It's not drying at all. I found despite other reviews, it's not the best makeup remover. I like to use witch hazel or toner so that's not really an issue. It doesn't exfoliate either which is sort of a bummer so it doesn't necessarily make your skin feel fresh.

I do like to use it as a natural cleanser to my face because I know I'm a little harsh to it with toner. I can't stand having acne so sometimes I overtreat it. This stuff balances my face out just face. I use it as a go to cleanser for daily use.

The consistency is sort of weird and heavy, along with the scent, not bad, just weird.

I'm trying to use more natural/paraben-free products, and I love AB's sea kelp exfoliating scrub and some of their body washes, so I gave this a try. It's VERY different than their pineapple extract facial wash, which is deep-cleaning and will sting your eyes if you get it near them. I hoped this would be gentler but still effective, but I'm disappointed. It doesn't remove makeup at all, unless you use a washcloth and really scrub, which is rough on my skin (and lashes, when removing mascara). I always end up with foundation and eye makeup on my towel when I dry my face, and I don't use waterproof products -- other cleansers have removed it thoroughly, but this one barely touches it. The scent is a little strange -- I'd compare it to clay or Play-doh -- not offensive, but not really pleasant. I feel like it's good for my skin, but what's the point if I have to use something else to take my makeup off?

Love the creamy feel and natural scent of this product. Use it particularly in cold/dry seasons as it is more moisturizing than my typical gel formulation.

    Comments about Alba Hawaiian Facial Wash, Coconut Milk, 8 fl oz:

    I've recently started using Alba products. I am mid 30's and have had problem skin since I hit 30. My t zone is very oily, cheeks are dry and my chin is constantly breaking out in cystic acne. While I haven't noticed a difference in the acne (And I'm not sure there's anything out there that will make a difference) the over all quality of my skin is much better. It looks more healthy and feels smoother.

    This product isn't a deep cleanser and it isn't going to really dig all the make up off your face. However, it does well if you're not a big make up wearer (Like me). it's extremely gentle. This is not a soap... you will NOT get bubbles when you get it wet. it tingles just slightly when you put it on. I usually let it sit for a minute while I'm in the shower then rinse it off. It has improved the texture of my skin. This is also probably a nice product for folks with dry skin as it leaves mine feeling clean and moisturized.

    This is the first review of a product I have ever done. This face wash is a little bit of paradise after a long twelve hour night shift. I love the way it smells, the way it feels, the way my face feels afterwards. The cost is nominal, and I am getting a lot of use out of one bottle. I am hooked!

    Comments about Alba Hawaiian Facial Wash, Coconut Milk, 8 fl oz:

    On the recommendatins here, I bought this, hoping it would replace the now eye stinging Dermalogica cleanser I was using. Thist is very gentle, but very hard to rinse off, and left me with a bumpy complexion. Maybe it is only for very very dry skin, or wintertime use. I would not buy this again.

          Comments about Alba Hawaiian Facial Wash, Coconut Milk, 8 fl oz:

          I tried this like a regular detergent cleanser the first time and didn't think I liked it. Since it has oils I decided to try it on my dry face first to let the oils dissolve my makeup and oil first and now I love it. If you think it's not working try it dry. I just rub it in and massage a little into the skin and then add water and rinse. It makes my skin soft and smooth and not tight like most cleansers I've tried. I have an oily t-zone prone to clogged pores but also sensitive skin and this stuff is great at dissolving oil without drying.

            My face gets very dry during the winter, and this soap is one of the few I can use without feeling chapped for the rest of the day. It ACTUALLY moisturizes while it cleans. I've been using it for years now (and btw, a single bottle lasts forever because the stuff is so thick), and I couldn't imagine surviving an east coast winter without it.

              I love how this smells! I use it for my evening cleanser before I go to bed. It's very moisturizing and takes off makeup well.

              If you're looking for a cleanser that leaves your skin "squeaky clean", this isn't for you.
