Good Gentle Cleanser

I’ve been using this product for a while now and I do like it overall. I do not have any severe acne but this product has not caused me any irritation or made me break out, which is always my main concern when trying out new products that are marketed to reduce acne. One thing to know is that you do have to add it since is it is a paste. The product is easy to use and it has a pleasant smell.

Helpful acne paste

The texture of this cream feels a little oily but it rubbed in smoothly. It helped treat the smaller ance but wasn't as effective on the larger ones.

Gentle & Effective

Really like this cleanser! It’s more of a clay paste than a foaming wash (no bubbles) but it helps with breakouts without drying out my skin. My face feels clean after using it and I love that it can also be used as a nice clay mask. Like most products it takes some time for the results to kick in. It has a bit of a scent but its barely noticeable and it did not cause any irritation however always patch test!

Wonderful Cleansing Product

I recieved this product in exchange for an honest review. I absolutely loved this product. It was exfoliating, and made my skin feel so clean. You get a lot of bang for your buck, a little bit goes a long way and the tube is a good side. My one qualm is that it’s advertised as a wash, spot treatment, and a mask but on the product itself there is only instructions for using it as a cleanser.

Great anti-acne treatment for truly sensitive skin

I've been fighting acne for 20 years, but my skin is super sensitive and most products do so much damage in the process that I can't use them. This gently pulled out the bacteria under my skin (it took 8 weeks to be fully blemish free) without irritation. I had to use it with the skin calming moisturizer though, the anti-acne lotion was too irritating.
