I love this product!!!
I use this product in the shower. I wash my face first with dove soap to remove my makeup and then follow with this cleanser. I don't have to use a lot, just a small squeeze. I use my fingertips and gently rub it all over my face, and over the affected areas. At first I though it wouldn't work becau...

Unless you're highly oily, it will make you bone dry
Yet another Mario B. product that has disappointed me. I wanted to like this, because it has minimal ingredients and no fragrance that can irritate skin. But I am not extremely oily, so using this all over my face outside of my slightly oily T-zone was a big mistake. It did clear up some bad blemish...

Consistently go back to it
Honestly I've tried so many other cleansers over the years and this is the only one that consistently gets my acne under control. I have oily combo skin and this is consistently the one one that works for me without additional side effects. Now this is not a makeup remover and if you're prone to skin build up you should use an exfoliant paired with it as it can dry your skin out (but I prefer that). I literally use an Aveeno lotion and this paired with a light exfoliant every few days and as long as I'm consistent my skin is perfect and clear. I have other skin issues that this product can't address but they're minimized with the use of this product.
Disappointed
I used this for awhile and then started getting clogged pores everywhere on my face. They aren't pimples but bumps all over my face that are the same color as my skin. I am still trying to get rid of the mess it made to my skin. It doesn't foam whenever you are washing your face so it just made my face feel slimy; probably not the best description, but it just never felt clean. Then the pimples started and it was everywhere. I eliminated all products and this is the one that was doing it. I would not use this is you have combo, oily, or acne prone skin. Definitely just get medical grade skincare and safe yourself the trouble or having to fix your skin.
This is the best acne face wash I have ever used!

Pleasantly surprised

I've tried a lot of cleansers and I am very happy with how smooth this one makes my skin feel. I'm also not getting nearly as many breakouts.
its ok
it helped a lot at first, i wasn't even half way through the bottle before everything changed. my skin became increasingly oily, i've never had oily skin before. now im breaking out a lot more around my cheeks & chin
