It's Okay
Date:June 5, 2013
This cleanser is okay, but not the best cleanser I've used. I like that it doesn't irritate my skin, but it leaves my skin feeling a little dehydrated and unclean. I've used many lotion type cleaners and they seem to clean my skin while leaving it hydrated at the same time. I'm going to use it as a shaving cream now.

Great product / TERRIBLE container
Date:May 11, 2013
So sad I can only give this great product a low rating. Please, someone tell me how to get this cleanser out of the bottle. I bought the travel size in order to test the product, and fell in love with this cleanser. It is so gentle and soothing. But the regular size bottle is a hard plastic and it is impossible to get out the thick cleanser!! I would buy this product regularly if the packaging worked, but until TBS changes it, I won't buy again. Too bad, it's a great cleanser.

Good stuff
Date:March 9, 2013
When I first started using the Aloe facial cleanser, I found it didn't do well at all taking off makeup...any of it:( So I started using it every morning instead of at night. I like that it leaves a slight moisturizing film on my face which helps my dry skin.
THEN, I ordered one of those flannel facial washcloths, and voila,...PROBLEM SOLVED! I use it day and night:)

Fantastic cleansing cream
Date:December 27, 2012
I love this mild and gentle lotion on my face. Because my skin is so sensitive, I cannot use most products with fragrance, so this really is great for me. I too loved Mary Kay cleanser - but this one tops it all. I downgraded my rating because of the user UNFRIENDLY packaging. It is extremely difficult to get the product out of the rigid bottle. Please consider putting this in a squeeze tube or bottle with a pump.

Decent cleaner/moisturizer
Date:December 20, 2012
Honestly, I really can't comprehend how a product can clean and provide moisture but this definitely meets the goal. Better than Mary Kay ( if previously used)

Nice but thick

This cleanser feels good on the skin but it is difficult to get out of the bottle and I also end up with too much.

No more pimples!
Date:September 4, 2012
This is the absolute best product and the ONLY one that's worked for me in my 50 years. I've had acne all my life and now i'm 50 and it's still there, and as always it worsens at my monthly period and lessens after it. No cream, cleanser or even pill has made any difference. I bought this with the intention of it helping with dry skin that comes with age but what it did was a miracle in that within 7-10 days my face became completely clear and it's been that way since. That was about 6 months ago. I still get regular periods and all the other symptoms but no pimples at all any more. I love this product. Don't change it please Body Shop!

Excellent for super sensitive skin
Date:July 12, 2012
This is the lightest and most sensitive cleanser you will ever buy. My facial skin is so sensitive that most cleansers burn. This is great, no burning, itching or irritation. This is for cleansing only, not for acne. I use this cleanser on days when I wear makeup as I cannot use my regular, stronger cleanser twice a day because my skin becomes irritated. It's great for removing makeup also. If you've tried everything else and still experience irritation, this is the product for you.

Great for sensitive skin!
Date:June 27, 2012
I've used this for years and get compliments on my skin a bit. My face tends to be dry and is definitely sensitive. Before I started using this line, I had a bit of peeling and redness, but I've never been prone to breakouts. I've found this works well when paired with the rest of the line. I very much like that this does not lather and is so creamy.
I do remove my makeup with the chamomile makeup remover before using this cleanser. By the time I use the toner, my skin is quite clean and I get no traces of makeup at all.

Great for super sensitive skin!
Date:June 17, 2012
So, I've been searching for the perfect cleanser to go with my Mia2, which is working beautifully. I've had problem skin (acne, rash, redness, oily/dry, sensitive to anything) since puberty (I am now 31), but nothing really ever seems to work long-term. I've tried the Purity line from Philosophy, which did okay, but after a few weeks my face wasn't getting any better. I tried items from Lush, being vegan I thought they would work nicely but sadly no. I've even used drugstore brands since they are obviously a good value, but nope! Nada!
THEN, by some random chance I came across the Aloe line and grabbed a handful of products for the 5 for 3 deal and WOW! This is exactly what I've been searching for. The whole line is amazing, but especially this cleanser in combination with the toner. My skin does not feel irritated or tight-dry, just clean and fresh and ready for the next step. I can already notice the difference in my skin from using this and it's only been a couple of days!
I know, I've tried lots of things from every corner of the cosmetic world and not everything works on everyone. But, if you have super sensitive skin that reacts to everything, give this a try. It's also a much better value than other products that give you much less and charge you way more. I hope they never stop making the Aloe line!

It was okay
Date:May 22, 2012
I bought this due to raving reviews on here and total beauty. Overall, i wasn't very impressed with how it worked. First off, i don't really fancy the texture of this wash, it doesn't feel like it's doing it's job. And secondly, it didn't do much for my skin. Granted, it's not an acne clearing product, but i though it would've worked better than it did. I'm going to try the tea tree cleanser & toner instead and see how those work.

Try both together!
Posted November 16, 2012
I'm 31, and have very fair & sensitive skin that is also very acne-prone. I've tried products from every store & brand, through every price-range, and nothing could compare to the job my prescription gel ever did (though that was rather harsh on my face itself, it took care of the acne!). Then, I tried the Tea Tree line... and have been thrilled with the results! While the prescription worked a bit better, the Tea Tree products are the only ones that have actually 1) worked, and 2) worked quite well.
My problems came when my T-zone still got rather flaky. No amount of moisturizer could fix it. Then I discovered the wonders of non-astringent toner! The Tea Tree toner really just helps balance out the skin's pH before you use moisturizer. No more big, ugly flakes on my nose & forehead since using a toner before moisturizer.
Now, of course there are times when sensitive skin needs a bit of extra TLC, maybe a more gentle cleanser before Tea Tree toner & moisturizer, or a more gentle moisturizer after the Tea Tree cleanser & toner, or any other combination. I find that when I spend more time outside, or during the super-dry Northeast winters, this is often the case. So, I use a mix of Tea Tree and Aloe products, depending on my skin's needs on any given day. The ingredients in the Aloe products don't irritate the skin or cause breakouts, and the Tea Tree products fight breakouts.
Definitely a win-win combo for me!
The point being: don't be afraid to try different products to achieve what your skin needs. Also, pay attention to your skin daily, and tweak your skin care routine to make it happy! Routine should only mean that you are actually doing something, not necessarily using the same exact things day, after day, after day.
I hope you find the right combo for your needs!

Good for Sensitive skin
Date:May 13, 2012
I have very sensitive and dry skin, and this product does a great job with moisturizing my skin. but it seems it doesnt take everything off and is a bit too light for me. i did break out in the beginning when using this product but it went away eventually.

Saved my skin
Date:May 12, 2012
I have severe skin issues on my face, including redness, dryness, and acne. My skin is very sensitive, and I tried this because aloe has helped me before. It is the only face wash that I have used that didn't cause me to break out into a horrible, dry eczema nightmare. I have used it for years and buy it in bulk every year and use it twice a day everyday. I lost hope there was nothing left to help my skin, and this whole product line saved my skin.

Out of all the cleansers I've used from The Body Shop, this line has worked the 2nd best for me. It cleared up my acne a bit, but it didn't work on my acne scars. It did reduce redness. The only thing that irked me was that it didn't feel like it was cleaning because of its light and milky texture. I was also iffy about the palm oil as well.

Doesn't leave you clean
Date:March 28, 2012
I have very sensitive skin, especially my eyes, and am always looking for a good cleanser that doesn't irritate me. This one is does not cause irritation but I do find that no matter how much time I spend cleansing with it there's still a lot of foundation left on my face (and I don't wear much makeup at all!).
I mostly use in the morning when I'm not needing a deep clean at the end of the day.

Love it!
Date:March 24, 2012
I usually use the tea tree oil cleanser (which I think is great!), but I wanted to try something a little gentler. I was surprised by the non-sudsing aspect of this cleanser and had to read the label again to be sure I didn't purchase lotion by mistake. I love the way my skin feels after using this. It's gentle and my skin feels clean afterwards. Plus, I don't notice that "tight skin feeling" your get with with most cleansers. Always follow with your favorite moisturizer though! I will definitely keep this in my arsenal.

favorite cleanser
Date:March 12, 2012
I'm so glad to find this cleanser, it's perfect for my dry and sensitive skin, calms down the redness, I use it with my Mia2 facial brush, works perfect. It's hydrated, non-irritating with good price. I will only use this one from now on. It saves my skin.

I purchased this product to work on redness of my face. This wash is very gentle and does work. It is good for reddness due to age. I am glad I got it and will continue to use it. Thanks Body Shop for these fine products that perform.

Totally Worth the Price!
Date:February 20, 2012
I have thee driest, most sensitive skin in the world. It's been a long two years having to deal with the tightness, the itchiness, and having every part of my face so flaky that I looked like I was molting. That all stopped when I used this cleanser!! I can wash my face and have it feel normal, no burning or tightness when I rinse it off. Even though this does not foam up, it perfectly cleanses my skin. I love to use this as an eye make up remover too! All I have to do is put a little dab on my finger and lightly rub it on my eye and wipe away with a cotton ball and WALLAH!! Everything's gone! Its just a great feeling to know that I found the right cleanser for me and that I have my skin back and it looks better than ever. =)
