Benefits Acne, Blepharitis itchy eyes and Rosacea read more for info
This is for people who do not know a couple things about this product.This is a castile soap base. Castile is a very thin soap base but tends depending on manufacture very clean in ingredients.Tea Tree has an unusual fragrance – slightly turpentine-ish is the best way to describe it. You either love it or hate it.Benefits of tea tree is that it’s great for cleaning skin, so good for acne.Rosacea and people who have blepharitis and you may have and not know it such as waking up with crusty itchy eyes -both these conditions are caused by a face mite called demodex.Do not get freaked out! Everyone has these on their face but some people more than others.To get rid of them stop using oil serums and heavy oily face products – that is food to them.Use this cleanser on face and gently scrub eyelids twice a day and rinse.

The key to getting good skin (using only products available on Amazon Prime)!!!
Okay, so I rarely if ever write long reviews and want to write out the first skincare system that Iâve found that actually works for me (using all products available on Amazon)âb/c Iâm stoked (and blowing off work)! Iâm 27 and have combination skin. I think my breakouts tend to be hormonal, with zits popping up in the middle of my forehead and chin, on/around my jaw, and on the sides of my face by my eyebrows. Also, my nose was a landmine of blackheads and huge pores, and I get really bad dark circles around my eyes.Product List:- Face Brush: Silicone Cleanser Waterproof Multifunctional Electric Facial Cleansing Brush (sold by Ailaiya), cost: $10First of all, if you donât have one of these vibrating silicon face brushes, stop what youâre doing and get one. There are super expensive ones at Sephora, but I risked getting a knock-off one off Amazon from Ailaiya for $10 dollars, and I love it. Itâs held up really well, and it can break/I can rebuy it literally 20 times before itâs the same cost as the Foreo Luna 2, which for some reason is $200 (HOW!!).I never used a silicon face brush before (I had a hair one for like 2 weeks and then it started to mold, so never again), but itâs awesome. My $10 dude is gets the job done and has literally all the features I can imagine a vibrating silicon face brush could need: bumpy (with different thicknesses), made of silicon, vibrates, comes with a cord for recharging (just make sure you close the charging hole in the back with the silicon plug when youâre washing your face so you donât get water in it).Also, outside of exfoliating (the first time I used it, I could literally see where it had unplugged pores on my nose), itâs great b/c itâs fun to use. I wash my face way more thoroughly/regularly than I ever have in my life, and that in and of itself is a miracle, because I am a lazy person.Generally, I wet my face with water, then throw a dime-sized drop of cleanser on it, and go to town, making sure to try to get the cleanser to lather and getting in all the nooks and crannies around my nose and along the underside of my chin. I wash my face with this little guy for around a minute probably.Note: My mom taught me that when washing your face/applying any lotions, you should always try to go in an upward motion to fight against gravity. Idk if this is scientifically a thing (sounds like itâs notâ¦), but my mom looks way younger than she is so Iâm just trusting her on this one.ââââââââââStep 1) Daily Cleanser: Desert Essence Thoroughly Face Wash (sold by SportingDoc). COST: $9This face wash is amazing. Itâs 100% natural and allegedly organic (though to be honest, thatâs just a plus b/c Iâm sure Iâve put so many weird chemicals on my face in the past trying out different cleansers). It combines soap with a bunch of different oilsâtea tree, coconut, olive, lavender, and peppermintâand extractsâChamomile, Goldenseal, Awapuhi, Bladderwrack. It smells really good and kind of earthy.The tea tree in it is great, b/c it naturally is antimicrobial/fungal and anti-inflammatory, which basically treats what acne is: inflamed, bacteria-filled pores. I got this at the same time as the silicon brush, but I can say that this is the first time that my face has ever literally be *squeaky clean* after washing it. Also, I just literally donât have breakouts anymore. Like no pimples. And my blackheads pretty much just disappeared off my nose, and my pores got clean and tight. Some cleansers when you switch to them, they make you break out, but I did not find that this was the case with this cleanser.Throw a dime-sized drop of cleanser on your lil electric brush. This soap doesnât really lather as much as other cleansers Iâve used (maybe itâs b/c Iâm using the electronic brush?). When Iâm washing, it generally lathers up after like 15 seconds, and then as I keep washing, any bubbles that did come up disappear after like 45 seconds. After though, my skin feels *so* clean and fresh.Word of caution: DO NOT GET THIS IN YOUR EYES. It will suck. It will burn. However, because we are mostly adults here with fairly strong motor function skills, this is easy enough to avoid.âââââââââââââStep 2) Face Serum: Vitamin C Serum with Hyaluronic Acid for Face & Eyes (sold by NaturalBeautyIc): COST: $20After I thoroughly rinse my face with warm water and pat it dry, I move on to the serum. Iâm sure there are YouTube videos that tell you how to properly apply serums, but I honestly have no clue. I just take a drop or two (you do not need a lot, and a little goes along way), put it in my palm, then dab it around my face. Then, I rub the serum in with an *upward* motion (fighting against gravity) until my whole face is covered. I let it sit on my face for about a minute to absorb into my skin (normally, I brush my teeth in the morning during this time b/c #efficiency).Vitamin C is great for your skin b/c itâs necessary in creating collagen and can potentially prevent/treat UV damage. This serum also has Hyaluronic acid (helps bind moisture to the skin keeping it dewy and hydrated), vitamin E (helps reduce the appearance of acne scars/discoloration), aloe, and other goodies.Iâve found that this has significantly reduced the darkness of some of my longstanding acne scars, which is crazy b/c Iâve literally had them for years. Overall, itâs also just really improved my skin. My pores are WAY smaller, my skin is super moisturized, and Iâve also seen redness around my jaw minimize.âââââââââââââ(Optional) Eye Serum: Vitamin C Eye Gel For One Eye Bags Treatment (sold by SunBlessed Botanicals): COST: $23So I use this, but itâs kind of pricier. If youâre already using the Vitamin C Serum above, youâre already getting the benefits of Vitamin C and Hyaluronic acid (though this has Amino Acids and Licorice and some other things). However, Iâve found that this eye gel specifically has helped with dark circles/puffiness/wrinkles under my eyes and feels more targeted.I saw immediate improvement in the tightness of the skin under my eyes. My under-eye area was less puffy and spots where I could see wrinkles develop filled out. Iâm fairly young so I donât have that many wrinkles under my eyes yet, but it seems to have stopped them from getting deeper.For dark circles, this is product is more of a consistent improvement thing. Iâm sure Iâm always going to have some darkness under my eyes, b/c I am a human, and a human that gets very little sleep. For the dark circles, it steadily helps, but itâs not going to be like you put it on once and theyâre gone. Also, while itâll lighten the darkness all over, I found that the lightening was at first the most noticeable toward the outside/center of my eye, and slowly kept lightening overtime the skin under my eye closer toward my nose (where dark circles are the darkest).Once I let my face serum set (or if Iâm impatient, toward the end of the time Iâm giving it to set), I take a super small amount of this stuff and dab it under my eye. The box says you probably shouldnât rub it in, so I try to avoid doing that, but I still do sometimes, b/c Iâm also a human of habit.âââââââââââââDay Moisturizer: L’Oreal Paris Futur-e Moisturizer Facial Day Lotion SPF 15, Normal to Dry Skin, 4.0 Ounce (sold by Amazon.com Services, Inc.), COST: $9Iâve been looking for a good day moisturizer for a while now. This stuff is great b/c it has SPF, which is really the main thing I want in a moisturizer, plus it has the added benefit of Vitamin E. Itâs really lightweight and not greasy at all, so it doesnât clog pores at all or feel heavy/thick on your face (I hate it when you put on a moisturizer and you can feel it on you for the rest of the day). Itâs also wonderful because it gives my face almost a matte finish and minimizes, rather than adds to, shininess after the serums and stuff. It also makes my skin like baby soft. Like, my face is the softest and most supple itâs ever been.I generally just squirt a pump and apply after Iâve put on the face serum and the eye serum. A lot of times, Iâm impatient so Iâll put it on when the eye serum is still setting, but thatâs okay. Also, again, I make sure to rub in my moisturizer upward, rather than down, to fight against gravity.âââââââââââââNight Moisturizer: Tree Of Life Retinol Cream Anti-Wrinkle Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid (sold by Flawless. Younger. Perfect), COST: $13Retinol is one of those buzzy face care terms right now, so I figured Iâd try this out. This has Retinol and hyaluronic acid, plus jojoba, green tea, B5, and shea. Itâs definitely heavier (though not greasy!) than the LâOreal Futur-e moisturizer (though that moisturizer is just so lightweight that probably most moisturizers will be heavier than it), but thatâs okay b/c I only use this Retinol cream at night.After you put it on, itâs crazy b/c you can actually feel it working. To be honest, sometimes itâs irritated my skin or kinda subtly burned after the fact, but not to the point where my face was visibly irritated in the morning. It feels like it tightens my skin and my pores and just makes my skin look and feel firmer (for example, I used to be able to see lil wrinkles across the bridge of my nose but theyâre not really there anymore)âââââââââââââTOTAL: $51 for the cleanser, serum, and day and nighttime moisturizer, plus the facial brush. The prices are really fair, and you get a good amount of product in each, which would take me at least 4 months to go through, if not longer. Thatâs like $15 dollars a month for four amazing skin care products, or 42 cents a day. Plus, throw in $10 for the vibrating silicon brushâwhich again, YOU MUST GET B/C IT IS A GAME CHANGERâand itâs $61 dollars, which Iâm very down to pay and honestly a lot cheaper/better than the products I used to pick up from Clinique or grab from the drugstore, which never worked as well as this system does.Anyway, Iâve literally blown off an entire afternoon of work writing this, so I hope it helps. Also, I didn’t receive a cent from any of these companies or free products, like some reviewers do. I’m just a happy customer with the best skin of her life! Cheers!

Didn’t work for my face, but works great elsewhere!
I purchased this cleanser when I was struggling with moderate acne. I’m a redhead with fair, sensitive skin. My pimples were located on my forehead, chin, and sometimes nose. I know that tea tree oil (a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent) can be effective at fighting acne, but this cleanser did not clear mine. Also, it was much too drying, even though I diluted it (half water, half cleanser) and used a moisturizer afterwards. I stopped using it on my face after a few weeks and have since found another skin care line that works great for me. Luckily, the Desert Essence cleanser works well for other purposes. It’s super effective at cleaning my makeup brushes. I also use it to wash minor cuts, scrapes, and blisters; it stings a little but helps things heal so quickly! One time I even used it for a few days when I ran out of hand soap. I’m happy that even though this didn’t work for my face, I can use up the rest of the bottle on other things. And this is a bit weird because others have commented that they dislike the smell, but I love the smell! It’s so natural. Give this cleanser a try – it’s not very expensive and even if it doesn’t work on your face you can use it elsewhere! Also, FYI: Trader Joe’s sells the same product with different packaging if you prefer to purchase locally.

Usage quotidien pour nettoyer le visage deux fois par jour. Je me suis rendue compte quâil démaquille aussi même le maquillage waterproof. Jâen suis très contente et jâai la peau moins grasse je en saurais dire si je le dois à ce seul produit ou à la combinaison avec le reste de ma routine mais je le rachèterai. Jâai testé un échantillon de nettoyant doux dâune grande marque de produits bio ou sélectionnés en soins de visage, bien plus cher et jâavais de légers picotements de la peau. Celui ci est bien meilleur.

Ho chiesto il rimborso appena ho aperto il pacco Amazon. Il dispenser ha disperso il prodotto nel suo sacchetto.

Es perfecto para pieles muy grasas o que necesitan una buena limpieza profunda. Cuidado con los ojos pues si entra pica bastante. Cunde mucho

These aren’t as good as I had thought. Mine is acne prone skin. The product is runny than other face washes I have used in the past which makes it a little difficult to handle. Was not very good at reducing acne for me.

Product is good, but the bottle is bad. It takes so much pressure to pump that it practically sprays the soap out.
