The Body Shop Seaweed Purifying Facial Cleanser, 6.76 Ounce

I started to love this cleanser after I stopped using it with water. I use a quarter sized amount, massage it into my face and neck and then use a washcloth to remove it. It leaves my skin soft and supple, and it doesn't overly dry it or leave a strange film. I follow up with the matching Seaweed Day Cream. It's great for removing stubborn makeup (Like BB creams which tend to be waterproof)and doesn't overly dry my combination skin, like many 'acne' fighting cleansers do. Using it like this, I found I don't need toner, either. I am nearly out of my bottle, which has never happened with a skin cleanser before and I am looking for a replacement. It doesn't work overnight but it DOES work.

This product really worked wonders for me, but be aware what works for some won't always for others. I had acne off-and-on for about 8 years, ranging from severe to very little. Most of that time I was under the care of a dermatologist, and all of the prescribed remedies involved a long application process of some cream, usually a Benzoyl Peroxide variant. At any rate, I had to apply more and more as time went on to get the same effect, but in lieu of my acne I began developing scale-like bumps, which I later found out was a reaction to the chemicals.

Long story short, my girlfriend recommended that I try this face-wash. It didn't happen overnight, but switching to a gentle, natural cleanser has given me incredible results. I won't say that this will help everyone, but hopefully this review can help someone else out there.

After a couple of years it's still doing the job. I don't agree with that comment that this leaves a residue, it cleans the face without drying it out. I cannot attest to how well it removes makeup, but this is a gentle cleaner so I tentatively agree that it probably does not do a good job there.
