I'm into natural skincare and my mom uses their products and loves them. I bought this cleanser because they don't really have very specific ones at the store i was in. This one seemed to be for all skin types. I have a very oily t-zone so this is a consideration i have when buying products. This product was stinky and dried me out terribly. I gave it aways after only a few uses. shame cause it was like $15 bucks. It may be suited for normal skin types or non-sensitive types.

This cleanser is just too drying and also irritates my normal/dry sensitive skin. A similar product in same price range is Body Time Clarifying Cleanser, which I prefer.

I wanted to give this product thumbs up for quality. Although I'm not crazy about the scent, it works great and does not break out my combo/sensitive face.

I tried this last fall when everyone on the Skin board was all excited about it and I didn't really like it. It smelled funny, it didn't cleanse thoroughly, and it was kind of pricey for the amount you get. I used this as a handwash instead and it worked great for that! I did give some points because the pump bottle was decent. I would never repurchase this, though!

I didn't find anything special about this cleanser. I was looking for a gentle cleanser to calm my skin after drying it out and irritating it with harsh products. I used this cleanser for almost two weeks and my skin just seemed to be getting more dry. I stopped using this cleanser and within a day or two, my skin was back to normal. No more dried out skin! I think this cleanser is made for people with truly oily skin because it was too drying for me. This cleanser also has an extremely strong scent that gave me a headache. Maybe I'll give this cleanser a try in the summer when my skin is not so dried out, but for now I'm staying away!!

This is a gel cleanser that you can find in the healthfood store (I found mine at Whole Foods Market). It is pretty inexpensive for a large bottle. This cleanser was just ok for me. It is highly scented (I prefer little to no scent in my cleansers) and dried out my cheeks. Granted, my skin has been dry and irritated lately with the cold weather and using a lot of treatment products. This cleanser would be better for those who have more oily skin.
Edited: I gave this one a couple more tries and each time I did, not only did it dry out my skin, but it left "scaly" patches on my skin after washing...I can only assume that I am senstive to one of the many botanical ingredients added to this product.

This is an okay cleanser for my sensitive/combo/acne-prone skin. However, there were some spots on my cheeks that were dry after using this. Although it says to avoid eyes, I used it to remove eye m/u, and it did completely without irritating at all. Comes in a pump bottle that looks like it could be from Origins or Aveda. It's under $8USD at health food stores, so I recommend it if you are oily and like gel foaming cleansers.
