Rated 5 out of 5 by mtnliving from Hate the messy lid - love product I use the product a few times a week, and love the results. I wish they would use different packaging - the lid allows product to build up around opening, which both wastes product and looks disgusting. It's impossible to dispense product without leaving a bit in the lid indentation, if the hole in the lid was inverted this issue would be lessened. I live in the mountains and in the winter the air is VERY dry, after washing my face with this my skin feels refreshed, clean and soft.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MK26 from This Product Helped With My Pimples After using this product for 2/3 weeks, I saw a difference on my face. Especially with wearing a mask, I went from having just a few pimples to many. When using this product, my face has become noticeably clearer (still a work in progress).

Rated 5 out of 5 by nik994 from Best exfoliating cleanser!! I’ve been using this for two years and nothing makes my face feel as fresh and clean. I see a noticeable difference in the texture and appearance of my skin, including a lightening of dark spots!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Uribesum from This is the best Cleanser I have ever had I dont understand the bad reviews of this product. It is amazing. it removes all my makeup with one time use at night after work. i have to use just a little bit of it and it exfoliates my skin and create a soft foam while cleaning. it is perfect, i dont have to remove my makeup with any paper or cotton that will make me stretch my skin, this is one time in the shower and done. perfection.

Rated 5 out of 5 by gflick from Fantastic Product! Reading the other reviews I was surprised to hear that individuals did not have a good experience with the product--I do not write reviews often and felt it necessary to write one after reading the others. I must admit I was not privy to the previous version of the product. However, absolutely love this version. I had a breakout of acne a year ago and started using this product. My acne soon became minimal. Additionally, a little of this product goes a long way and lasts for at least 6 months. I highly recommend it! My skin has not looked better.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Mom of three from Nothing like the original, such a disappointment The original product of the clearly corrective facial wash was amazing. I do not understand why it was ever changed I used it for years. Then I bought this product whenever it came out and it was awful I felt so scratchy against my skin. I went back to try it again and it is still terrible. Bring back the original formula. There was nothing wrong with it.
