ENZYME CLEANSING GEL

I don't know how MB gets away with not disclosing fragrance in their products (ones I've tried so far - Enzyme Cleansing Gel, Seaweed Toner, Cucumber Cleansing Lotion/Toner). The Enz Cleansing Gel also has mica/some other kind of glitter in it. I can't wash off the glitter; it's still on my skin even after copious amounts of water and wiping with toner!! A day after using this cleansing gel, my pores are terribly clogged (and I just had a facial with extractions yesterday). I think it must be the mica because I've had similar experiences with mica products in the past. I was so excited about a line with minimal ingredients, but now I see that they just choose to ignore some of their most irritating ingredients!!! So many people are allergic to fragrance and sensitive to mica. Please beware if you are sensitive.

I was so excited when this arrived. BTW, Nordstrom is the best store ever! The first time I used it was in the morning. Then I went on with my usual routine. I have combination By dinner time, my face was oily all over. This is the only product that changed in my routine, so it has to be it. I decided to give it more time though, it's only fair. Today I just washed my face in the morning and two hours later, it is shiny but not as oily. Some of the reviewers said there's mica in it, so could it be the mica? Nevertheless, it does leave my skin oily. Can't vouch too much on the cleansing ability yet, so I'll update my review after a month. I tried it with my mia and it hurt a bit because there's no foam. I use the soft brushes so the brush is not the issue. It leaves my skin soft and smooth afterwards, which are most likely effects of the papain and grapefruit, effects to be expected from both ingredients, so that part really does work. It contains methylparaben, so if you're avoiding parabens, this is not for you. Overall, it is okay. I would have given it four stars, except for the oily/shiny effects. Maybe my skin is still adjusting, but this is something to be aware of if you are thinking of trying it.

for me this was to scented and I didnt like the texture.

Absolutely love this cleanser. My skin is normal and sometimes dry in the winter months. This product removes makeup easily and has really helped with my black heads. It also smells really good and I love the bottle it’s in.

This face wash is great. I really like using it in the morning because the smell is so clean and refreshing it wakes me right up! I also use it at night, though. As far as removing ALL makeup, it will remove some but not all, however, you should be using a toner after you wash your face to really remove all traces of makeup anyway. For those of you using this with your Clarisonic, stop. Clarisonics are only to be used with foaming cleansers so that it doesn't scratch your face up and this face wash clearly states that it is "non-foaming." Overall, I will definitely repurchase this once I run out, It really makes my skin feel soft, and doesn't over dry. Love it!

Folks, do your research (unlike I did). This product contains propylparaben. Also, Badescu was sued previously for putting steroids into his products. Just trying to help; don’t waste your money. Plenty of other great cleansers out there!

I think the idea of using enzyme for face wash is great. But I didn't get the clean feel I wanted after using this. I have oily skin, maybe this is more suitable for dry skin.

I have acne prone skin (ive done Accutane twice) Ive started using this at night after using cliniques take the day off cleansing balm followed by MB's seaweed cleansing lotion, then a vita C serum and salicylic treatment, then MB's aha moisturizer. Ive also started using the glycolic acid toner in the morning followed by the aha moisturizer and benzoyl. Overall ive notice a large improvement in my breakouts, size of pores, and "suppleness" of skin. My only complaint is that since this is so gentle and doesn't foam, it is a bit painful to use with my clairisonic. Im considering purchasing the glycolic wash for that purpose, and cutting back to using my clairsonic just with that, around 3 times a week.

I have delt with acne for YEARS, I wish I would of learned about Mario Badescu years ago! I used to be an avid Neutrogena user and wondered why I would see results only to have my acne come back again and again. Now after using Mario Badescu products (Thank you Jaclyn Hill for the recommendations!) I will KEEP using these products. My acne had cleared up and my skin has inproved 100%.I haven't had a break out in over a month and when I do have a tiny one pop up, Mario Badescu Drying Lotion or Buffering lotion! Never going back to Neutrogena (who's products have some chemicals in them that ARE NOT GOOD FOR YOU, I might add). THANK YOU MARIO FOR SAVING MY SKIN!! Why aren't more people using this line!?!

I use this for morning face cleansing, followed with MB glycolic toner. Love both products, use with my Clarisonic brush cleaner and can see a difference already in pore shrinkage and facial smoothness. Twice a week I substitute the glycolic cleanser at night followed by glycolic toner. Sometimes I get a little burning sensation, no redness and no real burn, so I know the products are doing what they were designed to do. If you have used the expensive glycolic facial pads, you get the same effect at a much lower cost.

Have tried SO MANY cleansers from high end to drugstore brands. They always caused some kind of reaction worse one for me is blemishes....not this. I bought the 8oz size and you really get a great amount. This will last since you really don't need to use that much. I really like this brand.....not to expensive, works well. Will repurchase this when I am done.

I have sensitive oily skin that is prone to redness and acne. This face wash balances my skin leaving it hydrated & soft. Sometime I do need to wash my face with Mario Badescu gylcolic foaming cleanser, it helps clear hormonal acne.
