Favorite cleanser
I’ve had acne prone skin most of my life. In my 30’s it is more manageable but still have breakouts occasionally. Using a salicylic acid cleanser and a face scrub daily, alone with tretinoin a few days a week reduces the issue to almost zero.
Finding the right cleaner that didn’t dry out my face with daily use wasn’t easy. This one does it though!
It doesn’t over dry and it feels refreshing.
Definitely recommend!

Not as good as old version!
They discontinued the old blue gel cleanser and this is the replacement. This one has made me break out for weeks.

Is This A Prank?
I just recently found out that this product has replaced the original "blue colored" Blue Herbal Cleanser. This news is really upsetting because the formula changed and the amount has been chopped in half. I was lucky enough to get the last bottle of the original Blue Herbal Cleanser. I am not sure what I am going to do after I finish my new bottle. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Meh. I miss the old one!
I don't know why they discontinued the old blue gel cleanser but this is NOT it. I used it a few times but was not too impressed with it. Bring back the old one!

Bring This Back Please!
This is my favorite cleanser I have ever used! I received this as a birthday gift. I never had an issue using this cleanser on my skin. I have a hard time finding a good cleanser/face wash because they usually make me break out on my forehead or my skin gets irritated from them. I have been on the lookout for this product only to be disappointed when I seen it’s been discontinued. Pleaseeee bring this cleanser back. Literally your best product and now it’s discontinued :(
