Good

by StylinSarah [Verified Buyer]

in Grand Rapids, MI on 12/30/09

Pros: Gentle, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Combination Skin, Oily Skin

Cons: Bad Smell

Bottom Line: recommended

I find this cleanser to work as it should as a cleanser, but nothing majorly fantastic about it. The smell is a little on the strong side, but I don't mind it that much since it's just a strong "natural" smell. It cleans well but does not remove eye makeup, so just make sure you use a seperate remover for that (jojoba oil works great).

Great facewash

Great face wash! I could tell a difference in my acne almost immediatley...very happy. Smell is strong & the product is a bit watery so be careful, but the smell you do get used to! Will be buying from now on

Best Uses: Combination Skin

Cons: Dries Out Skin, Messy

Bottom Line: recommended

i was skepital to try this product becuse it contains oil, but I'm glad i did. i have combination skin, T zone with occasional break outs. But since i started using this product, i immediately noticed my skin clearing up. It can be drying if you have normal skin. So I use the cleanser on my t zone rubbing it in for about a minute. Then when I rinse, I let the suds wash the rest of my face. Works great for me! It is a little messy because it is a liquid. I also noticed the texture of my skin improve too :)

Best Uses: Oily Skin

Cons: Dries Out Skin, Irritates Skin

Bottom Line: not recommended

The bottle states for all skin types but is certainly not. I have combination skin and found this very drying after just a couple of uses. I think this is strictly for those with oilier skins.

Love this!

Best Uses: Oily Skin, Sensitive Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I use this product every morning and evening to clean my face. I love this face wash after trying many products from Clean and Clear, St Ives, Clinique, Philosophy. I am trying to be a 'Green' product user and this fits me best. The price is great for the fact that it just takes very little to use. I just pump once in my wet hand and then it turns foamy and i follow the directions of spreading it circularly on my face, following with washing it off with cool water. it has a nice clean nature smell which i love. I have a Acne prone and sensitive skin ,this product seems to be really helping me in keeping my skin clean without being harsh.

Bottom Line: not recommended

I first bought this at trader joes because of the tea tree oil and its naturalness haha but after about a week my skin got very dry and I developed those lines around my mouth. Even with my witch hazel toner and vitamin e oil I could not escape the drying effects. So if you have combination skin do not use this.

I really like it!

Pros: Balances Skin, Improves Skin Texture

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Combination Skin, Oily Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I have an oily t-zone while the rest of my face is fairly neutral. This cleanser really works well at helping to control the oiliness without overdrying my other areas. I like that its basically all-natural. The tea-tree oil does lend a certain scent that is not for everyone, but i'm used to it from other cleansers i've used. Important to note, this is a very 'thin' cleanser - it's almost like water coming out of the pump so you have to be careful not to push the pump too hard or you'll get a major stream coming at you! On the flip side, it lathers-up very quickly and easily - you really don't need much to get a good cleaning. I bought the pump soap and the big refill - but it may take me a long while before i use up the pump.

strong-smelling facial cleanser

Pros: Gentle, Leaves Clean Feel, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: Dry Skin

Cons: Bad Smell

Bottom Line: not recommended

I have combination skin and it seemed that this product made the oily areas even more oily, however the dry spots were not as dry. Performance was ok but I couldn't put up with the strong tea tree oil smell, so I discontinued using it after about two weeks.

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Daily Use, Oily Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I really love all natural cleansers and this is one of my favorites. My other favorite is Juice Organics Brightening Cleanser. I alternate between the two. This cleanser is really gentle and gets my face very clean. It removes my mascara but not all my eyeliner on my bottom lid. I just use a little Jojoba oil to get the eyeliner off. It does burn your eyes a bit but if you keep them closed, it rinses clean, so no worries. I like the way it makes me skin feel and look. My skin is oily and acne prone. It is really watery, but that's good because there are no synthetic thickeners or emulsifiers in it. A squirt cap would have been better, but all you have to do it use a half pump and your good!
