Pleasantly surprised
Very happy with this product, I'm amazed by the way my skin feels after using it in the morning. Best part is it lasts all day for me.
United StatesNot my favorite, disappointed.
Neem is the first ingredient, not coconut anything, and the neem smell isn't pleasant. My face felt clean after washing and rinsing but the smell persisted. I also had some redness, which is not typical of my skin. I was hoping for a gentle coconut-based cleanser with a nice fragrance and got neither.
United StatesCleans!
I’m a big fan of coconut oil-it’s been used for centuries for all manner of things. This is a natural product, packaged simply, that doesn’t add all sorts of fragrance or added chemicals. It cleans your face and neck nicely (don’t use around eyes).
United StatesWow!!❤❤❤❤❤
Wow, does this feel luxurious and clean ALL the makeup off my face! Feels like a spa treatment! Amazing product and a little goes such a long ways! I'm proud to help others that take care of the people and the Earth for the betterment of life! Thank you!
United StatesExcellent product!
I love this cleanser! It works very well on my skin, smells great, & leaves no residue or heavy, lasting scent. I love that it comes in a pump so I even add a few squirts to my shampoo.
