Most Helpful Positive Review Finally something that manages my dry skin!!!!!!! I was at a breaking point for something to help me with the dry skin on my face. The Tarte AHA/BHA Knockout Daily cleanser was recommended to me by a beauty rep at the store after telling her my issues. I'm sure I looked desperate looking at all the face washes. I have spent WAY too much $ on other products (face washes, lotions, oils, etc) and nothing was fully working, if at all. After my first wash and a good exfoliation with my clarisonic brush, I noticed a HUGE difference on my face and how smooth it felt. With daily use along with my face moisturizer, I could cry at how much better my skin is. No more flakes or dry patches! THANK YOU TO THE SHORT, DARK HAIRED LADY AT KENNESAW ULTA WHO RECOMMENDED THIS TO ME! I could give you the biggest hug!!!
Most Helpful Critical Review Very dissapointing I bought this mainly because of the great reviews it had. What a disappointment this has been to me, and I will return it! This is supposed to be an Exfoliating cleanser. It has no exfoliating particles in it and feels just like a jelly like cleanser to me. Above that it has an awful smell that I can´t stand. I am very sensitive to scented cosmetics, and don´t like this at all. I can´t understand why this product has so many 5 star reviews, it surely does not work for me.

Great exfoliation 5
AJ from Knoxville
This cleanser is gentle enough for daily use. My skin feels soft and not had a problems with over drying. Skin feels gently exfoliated and not stripped. Just a pea size amount is all you need so this tube goes a long way. Highly recommended!
Not for me 2
Lauren from Illinois
I was so excited to try this cleanser and I'm so disappointed that I don't love it. The smell is great - very refreshing and a little goes a long way. However, I struggle with "maskne" and it did not help. I was constantly battling acne while using this product.
I really love this cleanser 5
DebraD from Olympia, WA
I use this to wash my face every night after removing all my makeup. I love the consistency of the gel, and it really cleans my skin. I am in my 50s and I have sensitive skin so I cannot use abrasive exfoliators so this is perfect for me. I know some people do not like the smell, but it reminds me of going to get a high end facial and I love it.
Does a fine job! 5
KK Magee from Monroe, Louisiana
I agree with the other reviewers, this stuff is great! It's very gentle on the skin, but it's effective. I can't even feel the exfoliation happening, but that's probably a good thing. Otherwise, you may be damaging the skin with abrasion. My skin feels better even after just 2 days using it. I feel like it spreads easily, which is nice. My only complaint is that it doesn't smell pleasant. Kinda reminds me of kerosene or something. So it makes it not so nice while you're using it. But the smell doesn't stay, so it's all good.
Love this! 5
Ariana from Idaho, USA
I ordered this back at the end of 2020 when Tarte had a big sale on their website and I LOVE it. I'm 30 and have had very dry flaky skin for the past 5 years and this helps so much. It exfoliates but gently so it doesn't make the flaking worse. My skin is the best it's been since high school. It's soft and I don't have any more dry patches at all. I hope they never stop making this.
I would buy this product again 5
Emily from Hot springs
I use this every morning and night. It has a cool feeling and is so nice.
Holy Grail! 5
vjalex from Illinois
I'm 33 with problem skin-- dry, sensitive, and acne prone. It's so rare to find something that WORKS and doesn't dry or irritate my face. This makes a huge difference in my pores, prevents breakouts, and my skin loves it! I've been using it for 6 months and hope they never stop making it!!
My new go to cleanser! 5
Lisa C. from San Antonio
I am in my 40s and started using this once a day several months ago due to the sudden onset of some hormonal acne. The mix of ingredients are what attracted me initially to this product, and my acne started to clear in less than a week. I couldn't believe it! Since then, I have been using the cleanser sometimes twice a day and will occasionally double cleanse with the Philosophy Microdelivery Exfoliating Cleanser - this combination feels great and leaves my skin incredibly clean and oil free. I have not had any more acne since I started using this, and I completely agree with the other reviewer who noticed a reduction in fine lines. I never leave product reviews, but just had to share on this one. Try the mini first - it definitely is enough product to tell if you will like this. The full size cleanser has lasted me several months, so you get a lot of product for the price.
Best cleanser I've used 5
Salty from MICHIGAN
This is by far the best cleanser I have used! I love the cooling and clean sensation it gives me and also leaves my face feeling so smooth and clean! The only problem I really have with the cleanser is you don't get a lot for your dollar but it still is 100% worth it! Definitely gonna buy again
great chemical exfoliating facewash! 5
Beachmom19 from dmv
This a chemical vs. physical exfoliant. I have really sensitive skin & I had no reaction to this! Some maybe experiencing a reaction to the AHA or BHA in this product. I love this & use it everyday. I keep backups to make sure I'm never without it!!
Bye Bye Blackheads 5
Mizzou379 from Oklahoma
Highly recommend! I got this to address my huge, clogged pores and noticeable blackheads. I do a double cleanse and swapped this in the routine. After three days, I noticed a decrease in blackheads and loosening of other gunk in my pores, which made extraction easier.
Happily Surprised 5
Stephanie B from Howell, MI
I purchased this as my exfoliator. I was sad when I first saw there was nothing abrasive in the gel but after rubbing it in and letting it set for 1-4 minutes, it totally works! I can tell a difference when I do and don't use this. I love this stuff! Coming back to buy another bottle. Might even gift this as a Christmas present this year it's THAT good! Gentle but really softens and cleans the skin! A++++
Love 5
Ash from Dayton, Maryland
I really like this cleanser. I have very sensitive skin, but this one made my skin feel clean without over drying. I got the travel size initially, but then got the full size once it ran out!
Love it! 5
Melissa from Idaho
I love this product! I bought the trial size to see how it worked before I committed, it works great for me. We are all different and we all require different things for our skin, this works for me as I have oily skin and am prone to hormonal breakouts; my skin is not at all sensitive and responds well to things like glycolic acid and other things of that nature. This helped even my skin tone and reduce fine lines. I used it with the brightening gel moisturizer and tingle treatment daily.
Less pores and wrinkles! 5
ByrdGirl from CO
I have been using this product for awhile now. I use it only in morning. And it really has reduced my large pores and in combination with my Mario Badescu buffering lotion at night I have also seen a reduction of fine lines on my forehead! For me, the combination of this and MB products has improved my skin overall! I would repurchase again. I have oily and acne prone skin. I'm nearing my 40s now so it's important to find something that helps my skin and reduces acne/fine lines. This works for me!
Amazing daily cleanser 5
Georgie from California
I love that my sensitive skin doesn't breakout and it's cooling. I have notice a difference in my t-zone an chin. I do have dry skin and this doesn't dry out my skin or make it feel itchy.

Wasn't for my sensitive skin 1

The best 5
Beeth from Ohio
Has really helped improve the look of my skin and manage breakouts.
Will continue to buy! 5
Kim from Missouri
Use twice a day letting it sit for a few seconds before rinsing. Huge improvement in my acne (maskne) since I've started using it. New breakouts are gone much quicker too, maybe a few days.
The best cleanser 5
Katie from Greensburg, PA
I have naturally oily skin and suffer with cystic acne throughout my cycle. I've been using this for 3 weeks and when my cystic acne would normally flare, my skin has remained clear and smooth. Highly recommend.
