1. I don't recall ever being in love with a cleanser before Review by Make Up Alley, by Zernelle

   I don't recall ever being in love with a cleanser before, but I absolutely adore this product. I have long desired to use more natural products in my skincare routine, but I generally feel frustrated with the majority of "natural" products on the market. Many have nearly as many synthetic ingredients as standard products with some plant-based ingredients thrown in, usually ingredients that my sensitive skin dislikes. Products that don't fall into that category often come from companies that are so concerned with not using "bad" ingredients that rather than on developing products that are good for skin, they simply fill their products with bland oils (olive, jojoba, safflower, etc.), which my acne-prone skin dislikes. And products in both categories are often chock full of essential oils, which my skin usually can't tolerate. So I was delighted to find Sophyto, which actually uses science to develop products that are beneficial to skin, don't use synthetic ingredients (and most of the ingredients are certified organic), and are free of essential oils and any kind of added fragrance, and most of the products (with the exception of the two moisturizers) are completely oil-free.
   This cleanser is the only Sophyto product I've used so far, but I like it so well, that I plan to try other products as I use up all the stuff that I already have. Sophyto recommends that this cleanser not be used to remove makeup since it can irritate eyes, so I use it in the morning. I love that it makes my skin feel fresh and clean without leaving it at all dry or tight yet it never leaves a residue. I've never used a cleanser that leaves my skin so perfectly balanced. I also love the way it gently exfoliates my skin. I use one pump of the product each morning. It comes out foamy but doesn't really lather (in this respect it reminds me of Aveeno Ultra-Calming Foaming Cleanser, but the Aveeno cleanser left a film on my skin). I spread the foam onto my face, neck, and chest, focusing most of the cleanser onto my face. Then I massage the product into my facial skin for 1-2 minutes (I'm usually too hurried to mess much with my neck and chest), and if I have any skin that needs to be exfoliated, this cleanser gently loosens it, and I can feel it moving around under my fingertips. It's the perfect way to prep my skin for the day, and it's one of my favorite skincare products. I've stopped using all other acne products (BHA, benzoyl peroxide, retinoids), and although I get the occasional pimple, my skin is clearer than it's been since before I hit puberty. This cleanser is rather pricey, but using one pump once a day, I can get nearly six months of use out of one bottle. My only complaint is that although the product is supposed to have "a delicate aroma of apples," I think it smells mildly like urine. However, it's not a strong odor, it doesn't linger, and I hardly notice it anymore.

2. Perfect for my acne Review by Tye

   This is by far the best cleaser I have ever used for acne. It doesn't dry skin and is a good pH. It was actually my girlfriend who ordered it for herself, I saw it in the bathroom and thought I'd give it a go - glad I did. It doesn't look or smell girly so I don't feel wierd using this. Actually even if it did, I'd probably still use it as it really does work ; - )
   
   FYI: because I can't be bothered writing a seperate review, I would like to also post that I use the Polyphenol Skin Drops (another product I borrowed from my girlfriend) - seriously . . . I ended up throwing away my Proactives and use nothing but this. It works!!! the company don't advertise it's for acne, in fact my girlfriend just told me it was recognised for being an anti aging product - so go figure . . . it works for acne too. maybe the company should add this to their list of key benefits too as I'm living proof it works. cheers you guys!
