Great for problem skin

by Zits Zits go away [Verified Buyer]

in Cleveland, OH on 7/28/09

Pros: Balances Skin, Gentle, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel, Moisturizing, Not Greasy

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Best Uses: All Skin Types, Combination Skin, Daily Use, Sensitive Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I use this product once a day along with ProActiv cleanser. It is a nice balance to the ProActiv soap and offers a gentle break on my skin from overdrying.

GREAT PRODUCT

by Trish

in Blufton, SC on 11/25/08

Pros: Deep Cleans, Improves Skin Texture, Leaves Clean Feel

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Dry Skin

Bottom Line: recommended

I love this facial cleanser. I have never have had any trouble with the micro beads. I wet my face and rub the cleanser between my hands then apply to face. Works like a charm. I tend to have dry skin and this seems to leave it ready for the moisturizer. Have used others and they don't leave me feeling clean!

Microbeads are annoying

by SFnativeGal [Verified Reviewer]

in San Francisco, CA on 11/1/08

Pros: Gentle, Leaves Clean Feel, Removes Make Up

Good product with an unfortunate gimmick... This cleanser is gentle and removes makeup pretty well, although I have to wash around my eyes twice get rid of waterproof eyeliner and mascara. It leaves skin feeling clean but not stripped, and so far after a month of use it doesn't cause any dryness. The problem is the gimmicky microbeads. Apparently they contain the Vitamins A & E and MUST be burst before you apply, or else you're not getting the supposed vitamin benefit. Its an annoying waste of time to have to chase the slippery little beads in the palm of your hand to pop them all before using the wash. If you don't pop them, they don't dissolve and will lodge in your hairline or other unfortunate places. Alpha-Hydrox should just add the vitamins A & E into the cleanser and do away with the microbeads--they are more trouble than they're worth.

I Love the price and quality!

I've been using this for a month now and I don't notice any amazing changes to my blackheads or skin. I also use St.Ives BHA almost every day. I have no acne.

Great for taking off eye makeup but not so great for much else. I've been using it for two weeks and really don't see a difference in my skin at all. Still searching for that perfect product.

Love this stuff. I have skin which tends to break out from everything so I tried this and have had a lot fewer breakouts and no dryness. Plus, it even removes my eyemakeup. Great Product.

I really like this. It's not drying and it leaves my face feeling clean and refreshed. I swear it feels tighter after using it.

by Amy

This face wash is ok. Doesn't dry out skin after wash. I gave it a 3 first I don't like the Microbeads. It is not Micro it is big. It doesn't melt easy secondly I don't see any improvements. May be I am using the Alpha Hydrox AHA Souffle and my skin has been improved therefore I don't see additional result. Since I got good result with Alpha Hydrox AHA Souffle I will try their Alpha Hydrox Foaming Face Wash to see if this one will be better. I will update after my use.

I normally don't like products that contain beads because they have a tendency to not want to rinse away, especially if you don't use in the shower. But these beads dissolve when you rub them onto your skin. It's a very mild cleanser with very minimal if any scent. It develops a creamy foam that seems to rinse off easily with a wash cloth. I always use a wash cloth because it seems to exfoliate better than just my hands and also because it doesn't make as much of a mess to rinse as splashing water. This product is just as effective as much higher priced products. Unless you have extremely bad acne or extremely dry skin I would recommend this product.

Morning and Evening: Moisten your face with warm water. Squeeze the cleanser into your palm and massage gently to burst the microbeads, releasing the vitamins. Apply with an upward motion to your face and neck. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Continue your skincare routine with Alpha Hydrox® AHA Souffle and Alpha Hydrox Sheet Silk Moisturizer with SPF 15.
