Excellent product!
Love this product!!! It smells fresh and clean; it is not an overpowering aroma of tea tree. A very gentle product I use everyday!

Glowing Skin!
Desert Essence Face Wash is amazing! I used to have severe acne (especially during that time of the month) and I no longer have facial acne thanks to this product! I even received compliments about having glowing skin! Thanks a trillion Vitamin Shoppe and Desert Essence!

Best product ever
This is a fantastic product and I should know because I have been using it for many years. I do not just use it on my face, but use it as a body wash on the shower, as well as hand soap in a pump. My skin is always clear and I used to have acne and this completely cleared it years ago for good. I have oily skin even in my old age, so I highly recommend it to people with oily skin. The tea tree oil in the product kills bacteria, so it's good and gentle for all the body cleansing needs. And one of these large bottles lasts a while, which helps my budget. But the primary reason I use it is because it heals and regenerates my skin. I love to take a shower before I go outside in the summer evenings and the mosquitos and ticks leave me alone because they can't stand the smell of tea tree oil and possibly the rest of the botanical in the product. I will even dilute it with some water and spray my animals with it to keep pests away from them too. I have used this product for 10-15 years, so I have found many great uses for it, even though it started with glowing flawless skin, which for a very oily complexion like mine has been a God sent!

Soap okay - dries up in applicator
I have a small bottle of this soap that I am using this bottle to refill. I like the soap but gels up inside the applicator and sprays all over when I try to get the soap out. I'm getting very sick of it doing this...

Pretty good product, will
I was looking for a product that was made from
Natural ingredients but for a better price than the current products I?m using. It didn?t cause any irritation or breakouts. It?s in a big bottle and will last a long time which is even better. I don?t need much of it to clean my face. The aroma is fine, smells like an essential oil, not the nice, popular oils like lavender or peppermint but still pleasant. Doesn?t bother me.

Really helped my cystic acne
Love love love this face wash it has really helped with my acne. For some reason once I hit 30 started getting acne again. This product has left my face feeling clean and smooth. After 2 days I could start to see a difference. I have been using it for almost a month now and this is the only product I will now use on my face. Still have some acne but instead of ten big cyst pimples I have 2 at the most and they clear quickly. Definitely worth a try and not expensive at all.

Avoiding Pregnancy Nausea and Nasty Chemicals
I found this gem 6 years ago when I was pregnant. I had the WORST nausea and my biggest enemy was the bathroom! When I started researching, I found out the problem was my body care products - everything from my face wash, to my shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and bath soap. One by one I found replacements. This was the easiest option, since it worked like a charm on my slightly combination skin. I love it, I use it every night on my entire face, I like the scent (my toddler doesn't like the smell of it coming out of the dispenser, but never complains about it on my skin after shower), the clean feel, and good ingredients. Btw, if I use straight castile soap instead of this face wash, my face feels much drier.
