    This is awesome! My skin hasn't been the same since becoming a mommy -- my skin is super-sensitive with blemishes galore. Nothing cystic or anything obvious, just your run-of-the-mill red bumps...

    Really noce product with unbelivable low price! It works great on my dry skin face and my husband's oily skin. My only complain is the pump of the bottle which somwtimes hard to push down to squeeze.

    Another great find thanks to MakeupAlley. Hadda pick up some eggs at Trader Joe's, so while I was there I got a bottle of this to try. It's only $4.99 which is less than the Neutrogena I usually...

    As some have written this is not the easiest face wash to get used to. However, my ratings are based on what the product says it will do, what it actually does and how it works for me. 1) It can be...

    This makes a GREAT shaving gel. I know I'm commenting on a face wash, but it is terribly drying. When I use something less drying, I usually don't even need a moisturizer and my face is happier...

    I have norm-dry skin. I can use this every few days or so, but using it everyday makes my skin dry. I also don't think it's the best at removing make-up and definately don't expect it to remove...

    I started using this recently and my skin has cleared up substantially. It is very purifying and would probably be drying in the winter or for someone who doesn't have oilier skin, but it works...
