Pros:

Incredibly cleansing, not overly drying, removes almost all oil

Cons:

The smell takes some time to get used to (the tea tree oil smell gets you). Stings your eyes a bit if you don't rinse well.

Incredible incredible product. I've been using it for almost a year now and I won't use anything else. I was left without it for a week and felt like I couldn't live anymore. It's great. The wash itself is a bit watery, but you rub it together in your hands to create a lather. I rub in circles on my problem areas, across my forehead and around my T-zone. After washing, the skin is smooth, oil-free, and feels very tight. As if the pores are growing smaller. After using this product faithfully, two times a day, for a month. My acne almost completely cleared up! Overall, I have no complaints. And I will definitely keep using this until they discontinue it. Which I hope they don't!

natural and fair price
I am a diehard fan of tea tree oil so I always liked this product. It is not my favorite tea tree cleanser (that would be Tea MD) but it is an excellent fall-back because it's easy to get in most natural foods stores and very well-priced. I always used just a little bit, probably one small pump and then lathered over my face and it worked really well. Too much is definitely intense, especially for dry skin. I say give it a try because it's hard to go wrong with TT oil!

Pros:

Get rid of oil with out over drying, all natural ingredients, reduces acne.

Cons:

hard to find- got mine at Trader Joes

This product is great! No weird chemicals that you cant pronounce, just natural cleansing without stripping. Great for those with sensitive skin. I wash my face with then, use bp, and then jojoba oil for moisturizer. My skin hasn't looked this good in years. with bp and jojoba oil. This face wash works so well I've been able to reduce the amount of bp I'm using.

Pros:

Definitely cleanses and removes makeup.

Cons:

Very very drying. this is NOT fr sensitive skin users who have combo skin. This dehydrated and painfully dried out my skin and neck.

If you tend to be very oily and shiny oily than I think this will be a good fit. If you have combo skin and sensitive skin- THIS IS NOT GOOD.

Pros:

Affordable, all natural, quality product. Doesn't cause break outs or irritation. Helps reduce acne.

Cons:

As many mentioned above, it does smell a bit funny. Also stings a little when you use it, although this could be due to my sensitive skin.

I have combination (dry in winter, oily in summer), skin and this product has worked very efficiently to my skin care needs. Although I am a bit worried because my skin has been drier than normal since using this product, but nothing like with other cleansers. This product has dried my skin, but nothing like anyhting else has. For the first time, I can actually see a difference in my skin. Within the first few days, my skin was vibrant, glowing and actually looked healthy! As for the breakouts, I did experience ONE pimple, and amazingly enough, it disappeared by itself the next day. For those of you who have moderate acne as I do, you know what a big deal this is. Anyway ladies/gents, so far so good for this cleanser. And I have also used and been repeatedly disappointed with facial cleansers from Clean and Clear to Acne Free (imitation ProActiv product).

Cleans well and its organic!

Pros:

Natural ingredients

Cons:

The smell
Leaves skin dry and taut
Badly-designed bottle
Caused breakouts

I bought this at WholeFoods, thinking that a more natural product would not irritate my skin. I was wrong. My skin was red after rinsing the cleanser off. The very next day, new breakouts emerged.

Pros:

Cleanses skin very well. One bottle will last for a few months, all you need is one pump. Organic. Gentle.

Cons:

This product is runny so you have to be careful about handling the bottle but other than that I have no complaints.

This is great for people with sensitive skin. I have been using this product for 3 months and am still using the original bottle I bought. Highly recommended even if you don't have acne. Great overall cleanser!

Pros:

Its organic and not harsh on your skin. It's helps with acne and overall cleansing of the face. You don't have to worry about what it will do to your face.

Cons:

It's runny, and usually sold at hippy stores.

This product is good, and you'll feel good about using it, kinda like how you feel better eating something healthy and refreshing, verses something fatty and greasy.Booya. And If I may add, that AZTEC SECRET INDIAN HEALING CLAY IS AMAZING. It works amazing on acne!!! Now, this stuff is found in organic stores too, like co-ops, whole foods, or a hippy vegan, grocery store. Believe me, this is amazing stuff. Plus, if you have pussy pimples and you dont want to pop them in fear of spreading it, (especially if you a bunch of pimple in a group) then instead of washing it off, peel it and then the puss will be attached to the clay! Its pretty sweet.
