    I really wanted to like this. I love that it's sulfate free and 'natural', I even like the watery consistency because to me that means less gunk to clog my pores. But, it just didn't work out...

    It was too drying for my face. My face felt so squeaky clean and taut that it became really v. uncomfortable. So i used it to help with my back acne. Amazing! Cleared up my back acne so quickly!
