    Oh my god, this was horrible. I used this to hopefully help with my acne and it made it so much worse. I was left with red acne marks all over my face and a lot of swollen red bumps. It gave me a...

    UPDATE: I wrote the review below in 2018, at which point I had been using this soap on and off for several years. Today, in April 2021, I am sad to report that I have since developed an allergy to...

    Not for those with sensitive or dry skin. The tea tree oil left my cheeks extremely dry and itch and my skin continued to get irritated the next day. On the upside, it's really good at cleaning,...

    Ugh man I was so excited to try this. I didn't read reviews on here first, but I did read them on the Walgreens site and Amazon as well. Seeing that it had pretty good ratings, I had high hopes. A...

    I have the one that is, supposedly, suitable for sensitive skin, with grapefruit juice and all, it smells wonderful and I really like the consistency, but it leaves my face ultra dry and really...

    Love it! I have combination skin so I need something that will "thoroughly clean". This does just that. I love how nourished and smooth my skin feels. The only problem I have with it is if I use...

    Um, no. This cleanser burned my eyes. I felt like I was putting acid on my face. It's very watery so beware when dispensing the product onto your hands. Its going to splash everywhere. The smell is...

    Very nice face wash. I use it at night only, washing thoroughly twice a day can strip the skin of its natural oil and cause more oil and more sensitivity. My skin is prone to breakouts and this...
