This 100% organic product is absolutely wonderful. It has the best ingredients I've ever seen in all my years of skin-care product shopping. Castile soap, coconut oil, goldenseal, and best of all : tea tree oil, all very effective for acne-prone skin. Plus, at 32 fl oz for only [$], this is a steal. I've been using this facewash for a while now, and it has finally reduced the last remaining blemishes I have from my acne breakout-crisis years ago. The downside is that the smell is a bit overwhelming, and the texture is extremely slippery--it feels exactly like soap and takes a lot of water to rinse off completely. Also, it's so runny that once, I made the mistake of not closing my eyes while using this on my forehead... and the result is that some of it dripped into my eyes. Man, it burned so bad that I thought I was going to go blind (the stinging subsided only after 4-5 hours later) so remember to close your eyes when washing your face with this. Also, I dont like the packaging: the design of the bottle is awkward and so hard-to-use, that I had to transfer the content out in an empty face-wash bottle I had lying around. but all in all, this is a must-have for acne-prone skin looking for a natural treatment.

I recently decided to go organic and purchased an entire regime of new natural hair/skin/household products. I was so surprised and impressed at how they measured up to everyday drugstore brands! However, this face wash smells horrible, burns and turned my face red. I also bought Kiss My Face Start-Up face wash and thought it smelled much better and also was gentler on my skin, while leaving it clean (even took off my mascara). I am surprised by all of the positive reviews for Thoroughly Clean. I don"t have acne, so perhaps it is just too strong/drying for my skin type. I also bought several other products with tea tree that smelled fresh and pleasant (e.g. California Baby). This smelled like something that you'd take your nail polish off with!

This is a REFILL product, no dispenser!

    Comments about Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with Organic Tea Tree Oil and Awapuhi, 32 fl oz:

    I just got this item and have only used it a couple times, so I can't comment too much on the long term use of the product itself. So far I like how it cleans. BUT, I am frustrated, as this is a REFILL product and thus is a GIANT bottle (great value, though) with no way to really dispense it. You really need the original bottle with dispenser (or some other bottle to put it in). But this one is WAY more cost efficient, and I didn't even SEE the smaller version come up when I was searching for a face wash. I know this doesn't have to be a big deal, but I specifically shop online to save time/hassle and now I have the hassle of having to figure out what to put this in to use it. It's also pretty runny (not necessarily bad, still lathers well), so doesn't work so well just to pour out a little bit each time from the bottle.

    I still like the product so far, just want people to be aware of this issue.

      This is a great product: a gentle, effective cleanser that I use for my face and on my upper body in the shower. The refill size makes it convenient and affordable. It cleans effectively without drying my skin and works well on my combination skin.

        I have been using this product for my oily/sensative skin for over a year and love it! Just in the past few months I have used it on my Shar-Pei's feet. I have always used tea tree oil shampoo while bathing her, but she developed a horrible fungus on her feet and I was at my wits end! After finally getting the fungus cleared up we now wash her feet with Desert Essence Clean Face Wash anytime she goes outside. It is AMAZING!! I truly recommend this product to maintain WONDERFUL skin (human or animal).

          I really love this product! it contains awapuhi, which is good for fixing acne scar and blemish. I've been used this product for a month and it has great effect! I've been suffering for acne for more than a decade and recently I took Nature's cure product and got healed but there are still lot acne marks and blemish on my face. This product helps a lot. Besides, I love its size! I guess it will enable me to use for a year without need to buy any other face wash.

          The refill bottle last a long time! My only con is that it could be so runny yet it deeply cleans well. Then again I remove all my make-up before hand and I use this as the last step before a toner in my cleansing regime. Is gentle enough to be use after removing the make-up and during the morning.

          Comments about Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash with Organic Tea Tree Oil and Awapuhi, 32 fl oz:

          This face wash does remove makeup and makes skin feel thoroughly clean. It is drying BUT that's nothing toning and moisturizing cant fix unless your skin is naturally dry. Anything that claims to remove makeup is probably going to strip your skin of all the oil that is on it from the day but I see that as a good thing since it's all natural. I recycled an old mist bottle to put the solution in and just refill it as I go. The smell is not very pleasant but it's not like its foul or anything it just smells natural. All in all I like this face wash and I'm purchasing my second bottle because you get a lot for you money and you don't have to worry about harsh chemicals.

            Best way to dispense product is a foam pump, I started using this to help my combination sensitive skin , it works better in warmer months, in colder weather skin feels dry. Overall a great value smells like tea tree only for those that like a medicinal smell. I do use a shea butter facial bar after to feel more moisture.

            I love the Desert Essense Facial Moisturizer, so I thought I would give this face wash a try. It smells awful and was far too drying to use on my face, and I have oily/combination skin. The only positive I can think of it is a huge bottle for the price. However, for me it was a complete was because I threw it away.
