Comments about clearing skin wash:
I started breaking out really bad so i tried this product hoping it would work for me. It made my skin even worse and also gave me cysts acne all over my face. Now when i go out i have to wear makeup to cover up the acne because it is so awful. I wouldn't recommend.
Comments about clearing skin wash:
I was using the Dermalogica Clay Cleanser and really liked it. I was running low so I ordered a new bottle. When it arrived I realized that I had accidentally ordered the Clearing Skin Wash. I decided to go ahead and keep it since it said it helps with adult acne, which I have. I have only been using it twice daily for four days and it has been amazing. Most of my acne has cleared up and my oiliness has decreased substantially. I am so happy that I decided to keep it.
Comments about clearing skin wash:
Skin type is naturally dry, sensitive & acne prone mostly around the mouth and bottom of cheeks. I borrowed some pumps from my sister to test out for a couple days, and it didn't take long at all for my pimples to diminish an heal. I've tried products like Lush's Fresh Farmacy (mostly made up of calamine for its natural healing qualities) but nothing has ever worked for me like this. My face looks clear, doesn't have redness after washing and it's SO soft even if I don't moisturize. It suds up nicely but minimally plus you only need a dime-sizes amount. I've had the 8.4 oz for well over 3 months now with a lot left after using it just about every day. So happy with everything.
Comments about clearing skin wash:
I've been having big cystic acnes for about a year then I decided to go all out and got this, my skin seems to react very well as it keeps the skin in control and haven't seen any more acnes since. Took me about 2 months to notice the difference
Comments about clearing skin wash:
It's a great cleanser. I love the gentleness and that it gets rid of makeup and everything all in one. It doesn't leave my skin feeling dry. I have tried more affordable cleansers that have been just as effective. Therefore, I'm not sure if I'll purchase again.
Comments about clearing skin wash:
This face wash is great! I immediately saw results and a difference from before. I bought my sister the face wash and other Medibac line products because she loved it too!
Comments about clearing skin wash:
I got the smaller bottle of the skin clearing cleanser to try and I really like it and want to keep using it... but the smell is awful. It smells like a musty couch. Other people have said it smells good, so maybe I got a bad bottle. Hopefully I get used to it.
Comments about clearing skin wash:
I've been using this for a little over a month now, and it is the first thing to truly help clear my skin. I have a ways to go to be "100%" but the drastic reduction in break outs has been life changing so far. It has stopped my cystic break outs almost completely. I can count on one hand the number of new break outs I've had in the past 30 days, that is unheard of for me. The best part that I LOVE about this line is, it doesn't dry my skin out!! That is also a first. I will continue to buy this wash and the other medibac line.
Comments about clearing skin wash:
i use this when i have breakouts from picking on my face or when i just break out. it does the job but for first time users it makes u break out a lil more then as time goes by when your skin will become better just give it time.
Comments about clearing skin wash:
I have been using this for 5 years now. I have suffered from clogged pores and hormonal acne. This product is a life saver. If I don't use this for 2 days I will notice breakouts. My skin is so thankful for this product. It keeps my skin looking fresh and clear every day!
