Doesn't have enough grit to exfoliate well, and does not cleanse my oily skin as well as my Desert Essence, but it's a good solid face wash. It's only three bucks though.

This is the Holy Grail of all face washes. It's dirt cheap (retails for $3.47 in Canada) and works like a charm. I am 30 and tend to get occassional blackheads/pimples. I use this twice a day,...

Wonderful product. It is the best cleanser I've used to ward off acne. It has just enough benzoyl peroxide to keep acne at bay without completely drying out my skin. Good job St. Ives!
