This is one of the best cleansers I've ever used. It's incredibly concentrated, and the tiniest dab foams up and removes all dirt, makeup and oil without stripping. The scent is lovely, and--best of all--it's totally natural. Love it!

Love it ! Pretty expensive, pleasant smell, nice lather, rinses well. It's in a lovely pump bottle but the pump (on the one I have) doesn't work - I decanted into a plastic squirt bottle. Doesn't dry my skin, not greasy, generally a very nice, expensive face wash. I'll re-purchase as I have yet to find any other one I care for.

This is a gentle foaming cleanser for all skin types. I feel like this is a good natural cleanser that does not cause severe dryness or redness after using it(which tends to be a problem I have with cleansers). It does not irritate my eye area either which is also a common issue I have with many cleansers. It is expensive at $42US, but it is very concentrated so a little goes a long way. I plan to keep using it until I find a cheaper alternative!

I've tried so many products from this line, and I really like the idea of all natural, but when a product irritates and dries the skin, whether it's natural or not doesn't matter to me. Some of the ingredients are beneficial, but then I see lime oil and now I understand. Lime oil can be drying and irritating to some people, and I'm one of them.

Of all the Arcona products this one is probably one of the nicer ones in terms of scent. The cleanser can be used very sparingly and still get nice suds and removes my non-waterproof makeup pretty well. Unfortunately it dries out my skin, which feels really tight after washing. My skin looks fine with this cleanser but I don't like the drawn feeling so I'm out to try the Kiwi Bar next.

I used a sample of this cleanser but I won't buy it. This is gel with a light pineapple smell. It foams and it's slightly drying after a few uses. It is expensive but it lasts a long time. It won't leave your skin poreless as it claims though!
This is what Arcona says: "Antioxidant facial cleanser purifies as it tones leaving skin pore less and refreshed. Neutralize free radicals, calm and protect skin with antioxidant rich white and green teas. Nourish, clarify, and strengthen skin with cranberry enzymes. Helps maintain skins natural ph balance with soothing yucca, vitamin E, and aloe extracts."
Price: $42 for a 110 ml pump bottle
Ingredients: water, Butyrospermum parkii (10%) (shea butter), aloe saponins, glycerin, decyl glucoside, Yucca schidigera leaf extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract (white tea), Rubus idaeus fruit extract (raspberry), Vaccinium macrocarpon fruit extract (cranberry), Rubus idaeus seed oil (raspberry), D-alpha tocopherol acetate, sodium chloride, Citrus grandis peel oil (grapefruit), Citrus medica limonum peel oil (lemon), Citrus aurantifolia oil (lime), Ananas sativus fruit extract (pineapple), Mangifera indica seed oil (mango).

I love the White Tea Purifying Cleaser. It's gentle and takes off all my makeup without leaving a trace. I just don't use it for my eyes though because I prefer to remove eye makeup with a traditional makeup remover before.

I got this as a Beauty.com deluxe sample, which has lasted me a while. It seems to work well for me in the winter months, cleansing my dehydrated/acne prone skin well without stripping and irritating it. Gentle, but still has a lather and smells great.

I got this as a delux sample from beauty.com. The scent is absolutely to die for. It does an amazing job of cleansing and toning the skin without drying it out....leaves my skin squeaky clean. I recently purchased the raspberry acne bar as my cleanser b/c of stubborn breakouts and that works quite well also. This is much more refreshing though. You only need to use about a dime size amount (at the most) to create a really rich lather, so even though this is expensive it should last a long time.

this does not beat my bliss steep cleansing milk...i love white tea but this definitely does not smell like it...i'm kinda put off by its herbally/fruity scent....my face glows after using my bliss cleanser and has a better scent too.....this is a deluxe sample from my beauty.com order so i'm glad i did not waste my money on this.

I LOVE this facial cleanser. It smells amazing and cleans and tones my skin really well. I especially like that the formula is not filled with chemicals. The base is filled with enzymes which gently exfoliate, helping sluff off dead skin. I use this along with the whole ARCONA line--which is a fantastic line. I alternate with the Toner Tea Bar. I highly recommend this great cleanser.

Has a fruity pineappple scent that I do not care for. This is an average cleanser. I do no notice any significant improvements in my skin despite Arcona's claims that this will leave your skin poreless, toned and free radicals will be neutralized. These are rather ridiculous claims for a product that remains on your face for 30 seconds or less. Comes in a 3.67oz bottle for $42.00. Contains shea butter, aloe vera, glycerin, and yucca, cranberry, raspberry and tea leaf extracts. Also contains lime, lemon and grapefruit essential oils, which can be irritating to those with sensitive skin. If you are looking for natural cleansers there are nicer and more affordable ones than this.

I cannot even tell you how good this stuff smells. When I wash my face with it, I actually get thirsty. My face feels really clean after washing with it. I don't believe that it is any kind of miracle product. Just smells awesome and is fun to have around when you want your face to feel fresh!
Starts out like a gel and suds up quite nicely once it blends with the water. Makes you feel like you are really getting all the dirt and makeup off. I'd buy again just as a fun item to keep around but I wouldn't consider this a staple.
