My Favourite drugstore face cleanser
I started using this product in highschool and have been in love with it since! I tried out several other cleansers but none make my face feel as refreshed, soft, and clean afterwards. The fact that it has salicylic acid is great too!
Fave face wash
This is an awesome product. I use this as part of my nightly skin routine and it has definitely helped clear up my problem acne. A little drying but I like to over moisturize so it works!
Use at own risk!
I have been desperate to find a solution for my acne. In my journey to find a solution i was hopeful when i saw this product. A week of using this, it dried out my face, it irriated my skin. It was not the product for me.
One of the best facial cleansers I've ever used. It is cheap but the quality is high. I like the grapefruit scent and after washing your face, your face doesn't feel dried out like what other cleansers might do.
Didn't do anything impressive to my skin, but it's pretty impressive when it comes out of the bottle, gold shimmers and all! I have slightly oily skin with a few breakouts and I wouldn't say it did much to improve anything. Dull skin kept looking dull and some days it would feel tight. Not a fan of the scent, maybe a little citrusy, perfumy. It's nothing like I smelled before but I wasn't a fan. So overall it's a little to hash and didn't do what it claims, so won't repurchase it.
This stuff is HORRIBLE! I had the worst reaction; my entire face was burned and swollen after the first use!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT PLEASE! This has happened to a lot of other women too, you can check by making a quick google search.
My skin has never looked this good. EVER.
About 18 months ago, I had several reconstructive surgeries on my nose following a bout of basal cell carcinoma (skin cancer). In the year that followed, the side of my face the surgeries were broke out in small pimples and dark spots. I tried so many different gentle cleansers, masks, moisturizers, brightening creams, spot faders and acne treatments to try to rid myself of the spots. Nothing worked.
I tried this cleanser on a whim. Actually, (this is kind of embarrassing!) I saw something on Twitter. Heather from MTV's "Scrubbing In" was asked by a fan what cleanser she used, and this is the stuff she uses. I figured, why not? So glad I did.
It isn't super foamy, as it's sort of a gel cleanser. The grapefruit smell isn't overbearing, and it's a super way to help you wake up in the morning. It leaves my skin tight (in a good way) and smooth. After a few weeks of using it, all those spots and discoloration was gone. GONE.
This stuff is a miracle cleanser, and I can't recommend it enough!
I really liked the smell of this cleanser, but it broke me out like crazy. But I have to say that my skin it's very sensitive so maybe this can be one of the factors too.
I've been around, and I've tried almost every drugstore facial cleanser out there, but this? This isn't like the rest. It's absolutely horrible.
OK, now that I have your attention let me tell you how amazing this cleanser actually is, along with the scrub version. First of all it smells amazing and you feel super squeaky clean after you've washed your face. I find that it does dry my skin out a bit, but I use moisturizer and that solves the problem. Either way, we should always be using moisturizer. It doesn't necessarily tighten my skin when it makes it dry, and it's not a dry as in my-face-will-start-peeling dry. Just not-oily-at-all dry. That's great.
For the products effectiveness: I came across this because I had a friend in high school who never seemed to get breakouts. I asked her what she used and she told me about this gem. I started trying it and woah, my zits slowly began to disappear!
Trust me, whenever you'd see me back then, I always had some sort of zit or scab from a previously popped zit on my face. Now? I get zits once in a blue moon.
I tend to switch up my cleansers not because this one doesn't work but rather because I don't want my skin to get too used to it and stop being affected by it. It costs anywhere from $11-15, depending on where you buy it - but it's worth the price. It not only lasts a very long time, but you don't even need to use one full pump because it lathers up really well.
There is absolutely no reason why you shouldn't try this cleanser, unless you have extremely dry and flaky skin. My skin's not oily, it's more towards combination/normal, and this works great.
Great smelling acne wash. But when it came to helping decrease acne it formed more acne and pimples. Not to mention it dried out my skin in a number of 4 days. If it were to have worked as expected it would have been worth every penny.
