Not your regular face wash
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. The left is the before and the right is the after. The face wash was nice and creamy. I did try it each way the influencer package said to. It made my skin feel great after because it didn't strip my skin of all my oils so I didn't feel the n...

It's okay
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was excited bc it's a facial cleanser with salicylic acid in it which does well with my combo skin. But this product is like a three in one product and I wish it was just a cleanser. I don't want a mask or spot treatment. It's an okay cleanser, it doesn't foam. I wouldn't buy this unless the mask and spot treatment interest you.
Nice cleanser, results may take time
I love how this cleansing paste has 3 different ways you can use it - I personally use it as a cleanser and a little goes a long way. After using for a couple weeks, I haven't noticed any huge difference with it preventing acne though. I got about the same as I usually do, but maybe I need to keep using it. However, with my sensitive skin, it's a very gentle cleanser and works well in that regard!
Great acne wash
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I was pretty impressed with this. It felt really smooth and soft when I was applying it. I used it on my husband's back because he gets pimples on his back in the summer and it turned into almost like a cleansing oil as I used it. The scent isn't the best. It definitely smells like a clay mask but that's to be expected in a product like this. I also used it on the face and it left my skin feeling smooth and soft. It didn't really dry out my skin.
I would purchase this product again
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I used this product for a month as a mask option and it works well. The price is kinda high but worth it for good quality. The texture is semi thick but not unbearable. There is no fragrance which is a bonus . The packaging is great and no issue get product out. I will definitely recommend this product if you are seeking a nice clay mask .
Great pick!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Great product! I've been using this for a few weeks and I feel that it's done a great job at keeping my breakouts at bay- the formula is great and is not overly drying. The smell is neutral and overall I'm a fan of this product!
