History on my skin:

I have been struggling with acne since I started college in the fall of 2008. In high school i had really nice skin and tended to only get a zit around the dreaded time of the month. I did notice that my skin improved some when we lived out west. I believe this was because it was so dry and my skin didn't get quite as oily anymore. I was not about to complain about that!

We moved back to the Midwest in July of 2012 and after we were back for about a month my skin went crazy! I was 23 years old and had skin like a 14 year going through puberty; I was not happy! I have been trying everything you can get at the drug store and nothing seemed to help. 

I did find a product system that worked very well (i will be going a review on these products in the next week) but they are just way too expensive so i have been on the hunt for a cleanser that works and won't break the bank. 

How I feel about this product:

I received a sample of this last month from PINCHme so i thought why not? I took the sample with my when we went on vacation earlier this month. I really thought i was going to dislike this cleanser because it had no active ingredient in it like benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid but i was wrong! This smells so fresh and clean since it had citrus in it (grapefruit and pomegranate) and it leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. It targets your oily spots on your skin and leaves your dry spots feel moisturized. I have no idea how this works so well but it does. I use this face wash every night before bed and i have not had a breakout since i started using it. I do still tend to do a face mask once or twice a week but that's normal for me. I do use my benzoyl peroxide face gel after i wash my face along with a hydrator that has salicylic acid in it (this has been apart of my normal routine for about 6 months). 

This product is awesome and has helped my skin look more healthy and vibrant. I honestly had no idea i would like this face wash this much but now i swear by it. If you have combination skin or even oily skin i would check this out! If you have any products that you really find helps your oily acne prone skin let me know in the comments below so i can check them out.
