Let me just start off by saying I NEVER do reviews on products because I have NEVER found a product like this before. I recently moved clear across the country and my face and skin was a disaster! I had been so stressed, and tired, and my face was breaking out with a new pimple every day. I was starting to get down about it. I usually use [@] products because my sister is a rep. When I first moved, I tried everything...from prescriptions to generic over the counter cheap brands to the high end pricy brands. Nothing worked, my skin was so distressed. I went to the mall one day as I was exploring the new town I moved to, and ran across this store named lush. I have never heard of this store before in my life, and i'm huge on good skin care products. I wasn't expecting much, because i've tried the natrual organic products before, and they never worked for me. But the sales people were really nice and helpful. They let your try each product before buying and were super generous about samples. I told them my problems with my skin and they gave me suggestions. I walked out with a few products to try at home. The awesome thing about lush is their products are soooo affordable, and they dispense their products by weight. So if you wern't sure about a product you could ask them to only given you [$] worth of product, and you still get a lot for your money!!! SO I ended up buying the herbalism cleanser, angles on bare skin cleanser, tea tree water toner, vanishing cream, and got a sample of the mask of magnaminty, and sex appeal body soap. The sales people showed me how to use each product, which was helpful. I went home and that night used my new products. I used the herbalism first to cleans my face, then used to tea tree toner directly after I pat my face dry from cleansing, follwed with the vanishing cream. I first noticed how soft and supple my face felt, like how skin should actually feel. not oily, not try, but just oh so right. I then went to bed. I honestly expected to wake up with a face full of new pimples, but no my face had cleared drastically! I was stunned. I repeated that same routine in the morning. then the following night I decided to use the angles on bare skin in the shower, and used by sex appeal soap. when I got out of the shower, I then applied the mask of magnamity, and after 15 minutes washed that off, follwed with my tea tree toner and vanishing cream. AGAIN woke up with even more clear, soft supple skin. I instantly became a LUSH FINATIC!!! I know this review is super long...but I never write reviews, and am soo excited I found such an amazing new store I love. I already went online and wrote down everything I want to try for my wishlist. I have now been using this routine, cleansing in morning and night with either herbalism or angles on bare skin (both are amazing cleansers that remove everything!!!) followed by my tea tree toner, and vanishing cream. my face used to be supper oily and just a mess...its not how skin is supposed to feel! I love not having to hide my face behind a ton of makeup! I then use the mask of magnaminty about once or twice a week (this mask is awesome!!!) it can even be used as a spot treatment, where you leave it on, go to bed, and wash it off in the morning. I def. will advocate for these products and continue to buy them! Sorry sis...but LUSH just won my vote!

I am in my early 20s and used proactive throughout high school without complaints. My first year out of high school, proactive suddenly stopped working. I began using a Neostrata solution specifically prescribed by my Doctor and it works great except it smells like chemicals. My best friend raves about Herbalism so I thought I would give it a try. I was excited to try Herbalism because of its 'natural' factor. As soon as I started using it, I broke out like CRAZY! I gave it a good shot. I used it for two weeks to see if it was just a trial period of it getting worse before it got better, but I was wrong. My acne got significantly worse. I was so upset! I think this product must only work for people with very mild acne. I have mild-moderate and it just didn't work for me.

Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:

I absolutely love this cleanser!! My only qualm is that it's messy when used out of the shower (because who cares how messy it is in the shower!!:) ). I use this at night to take off my make up (after I use a eye make up remover), and it's a little crumbly and can get outside of the sink on the vanity. However, with what this has done for my skin I don't think of it as an issue. This has enough 'grit' to it that it really cleanses, but not enough for it be abrasive and bother my sensitive skin. I also tend to break out a lot and this calms my skin. I love the fact that after using this there is no residue and my skin feels fresh and clean. I'm on my ???? refill of this, can't live without it.

    Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:

    I was on the fence about this product. About half the reviews talked about the awful odor because of the vinegar and I will be honest, that put me off. So on my pilgrimage to the store I was determied to smell this concoction and see if it would even be tolerable enough to give it a chance.

    I was very plesantly surprised. Yes, it smells very strongly of vinegar, but salad vinegar as opposed to the cleaning variety so that is a plus. And the herbal infusion there gave it a lovely chlorophyll green smell. Also, the scent out of the pot isn't nearly as strong as it is in, and it doesn't linger on the skin at all. Added bonus- the scent grew on me, so now I actually enjoy the wash.

    And now the really important part, the use. Lets just say if Lush ever stops making this I may have to raid their factory for the recipie. It exfoliates the skin ever so gently, I honestly didn't notice until after a couple days and my skin was super smooth and soft. Then two to three days later, my skin was clearer than it has been since I was a child. No blocked pores, no acne, no underskin bumpy bits, and nothing came up in the next few weeks. That was the bit that shocked me most. Any new product I've used tends to bring the problem to the surface and then clears it up. This one just erased the imperfections and made my skin better than before.

      after reading reviews i wasnt 100% on buying this, but bought it anyway and im super glad i did. i have acne-prone skin, i take medications & prescribed pills from a dermatologist and this product helped clear up my skin better than any medications ever did. i saw some reviews saying the product was too gentle, but i liked that about it. i use it as a daily facial cleanser in the morning, it helps wake me up and it doesnt irritate my skin at all. im not to keen on the smell of it, but after using it every day ive just gotten used to it. definitely making a repurchase

        I just have to say that I have tried every product under the sun to help clear up my acne, Iv even bought really expensive spa products to help and nothing seemed to work. I am a huge LUSH fan but I have never tried any of their face products, so to try I grabbed Herbalism. While I was using this product my face felt so clean, I had a no residue feel to me skin, I combined Coal Face as well as Breath Of Fresh Air for a new skin care routine, My acne instantly cleared up I was shocked! Never have I ever had my face react to such an amazing product! I am forever sticking with LUSH for my skin needs. I'm telling you this product works you will be surprised if you purchase this product, like I said Iv tried everything, and this did the job I have no complaints!

              Wow, Wow, Wow, and again wow! I was about to throw the towel in on the battle with my acne but I found this amazing stuff and now my face is clear and has a great even texture. If you have acne or oily proned skin and are tired of getting NOWHERE with benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, look no further.

                    I never write reveiws but this product is amazing!! I have tried multiple products to clear up my forehead and chin because of those darn things called hormones. I'm 25 years old and have never really had a problem with acne until I turned 24. I myself work at a skin and cosmetic store and have tried everything they could offer. Nothing works as well as Herbalism. It leaves my face feeling fresh and clean and I haven't had a pimple in 2 weeks!!It also has cleared up most of my blackheads. If anyone has a problem with acne and has tried everything, this is the product to try. You will not regret it!!

                    Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:

                    I use this cleanser morning and night. It is a great effective and gentle daily cleanser. I personally love the smell and can't get enough, it's very natural and earthy to me. I take a small chickpee sized chunk in my palm, add a couple drops of water, and rub it until it becomes a paste.

                    My skin: I have combination skin, very oily on my forehead, dry around my mouth, I break out horribly near my chin (normally during my period). The lush employees informed me that the first week or so of using Herbalism I might break out more than usual (which I know happens with most new cleansers) because my skin will purge all of the impurities. I definitely broke out like normal during my period and blackheads seemed to be more apparent. However, my skin feels very clean, less greasy, and has a better glow to it. I'm hoping the purging of impurities ends soon and my skin adjusts. If not, this cleanser is still better than anything else I have bought in a store. I have even used proactiv and I love herbalism so much more.

                          it does smell a bit weird but i don't dwell on that because of the amazing effects and how soft my face is afterwards. i am so sad it took me this long to find lush!

                            I began using Herbalism about five months ago completely on a whim after trying literally EVERYTHING from my dermatologist to over the counter face washes. I was at first using this every morning and night in combination with creams prescribed by my dermatologist and was seeing results, but not to the point I had hoped.

                            I decided to try samples of Grease Lightening and Vanishing Cream (dropping anything prescribed by my doctor) and have to say that my skin has COMPLETELY changed. I use an alcohol-free toner after washing morning and night with Herbalism and use Vanishing Cream in the morning before my makeup and Grease Lightening at night before going to bed.

                            I have had awful acne since I was about 12 and now at 20 I can finally say I have found the perfect combination of products to give me flawless skin. Thank you for changing my life, Lush!

                                I love this cleanser. My skin is oily, acne-prone, and sensitive. Traditional salicylic acid washes didn't help at all and actually sometimes made things worse. Switching from that to a basic exfoliating scrub and a tea-tree containing moisturizer helped, but Herbalism is even better than that basic scrub. It's not too drying, my skin feels clean and refreshed, and the redness across my nose and cheeks is noticeably reduced.

                                I like to apply it to my face and let it sit for a couple of minutes before washing it off for a gentle mask effect when my breakouts are worse.

                                      This is my first review on a product EVER! I'm overwhelmed by the transformation it gave my skin and my life! So much I want to write, but long story short. Im 25, come from mexican heritage. Oily ACNE ACNE ACNE skin scars; the works! I was using other products i purchased at the department store that actually help a little but not enough to help me get actually go out and socialize. Until I curiously walked in to lush to get this recommended, and given the price I was paying for the other stuff. this was a steal. My face is 100% clear!!! not one zit in site.. I went out got a new job. started dating. Thank you thank you thank you! I am forever grateful for your honest product and I hope more people on the same boat try this! thanks again! -Fm

                                        I wasn't sure about it since I did see some reviews saying it smelt bad. But I figured everyone's senses are different and tried it anyways. I got the small bottle, and was a bit confused of how to use it at first, but figured it out quite quick. I find it easier to use at the sink than in the shower because you don't want any water in the tub itself. But I seriously love this product. The scent I think comes with the name HERBALISM, so if you don't like herby or earthy scents, this one isn't for you. Yet, it gave me an exfoliated face feel, and my face feels brand new every time i use it. I follow up with my 9 to 5 from LUSH and a moisturizer and my face feels awesome!

                                            Wow! This cleanser is AMAZING!!! I recently got off a dermatatologist prescriped medication that I have been using for two years. The medicine worked great, but I didn't want to have to rely on this medication forever, plus it was expensive. I went into Lush to get a friend a gift, and I walked out with this cleanser. It has seriously been the best purchase of my life! Using this cleanser, my skin is so much cleaner, softer, and FREE of breakouts. I use this daily even though it is exfoliating, but I feel it is gentle enough to use everyday. I have VERY oily skin and have tried everything to combat my oil. I would go through several blotting sheets a day to try and maintain my oil. Using this cleanser, my face is so much less oily. I couldn't believe it. My makesup looks so much nicer on my face because I have an amazing surface to work with. Herbalism is a holy grail product that I will continue to use. Amazing!!!

                                            Okay, let me start with this.
                                            I have VERY oily, sensitive, severe acne prone skin. I hate myself, and I always hide behind my long hair.
                                            Since I used Herbalism, acne on my cheeks has CLEARED UP and literally, it feels like a smooth paper. I am in LOVE with Herbalism - the best product yet. The other acne medications/products I have used either did not work or made it worse. I'm talking about over the counter, brand name, antibiotics, etc.
                                            I can feel Herbalism work around my face slowly but efficiently. I think I'm in love.

                                              I went to the store with my dad to pick out some stuff I wanted to try out (as a 16th birthday present) and after reading reviews online, I was torn between Angels on Bare Skin and Herbalism. I talked to the lady at the store and told her about my typical teenage skin (oily and acne prone) and how I didn't know which one to try out and she recommended Herbalism because Angels on Bare Skin is more of a general cleanser while Herbalism is more for people with oily skin, so I picked that up along with the Tea Tree Water toner and a sample of Grease Lightning.

                                              So what I do is wash my face with warm water and apply herbalism as more of a paste (beware, a little water goes a long way with this, if you use too much, it becomes runny and drips through your fingers) and after washing off with warm water, your skin feels very soft and smooth. After this I apply 2 sprays of my Tea Tree Water toner and a little bit of my sample of grease lightning. I wanted to get a sample based on the mixed reviews and a little does go a long way with this product as well.

                                              I love how soft and clean it makes your skin feel, even after the first use! I will definitely keep using this product as part of my skin care routine in the future!!!

                                                    This stuff works! It's awesome. I love it. I use it everyday. It's been a miracle for me.

                                                    I received Herbalism as a gift, and it was honestly my favorite gift. It makes my skin glow like no other. After using it my skin feels soft and super smooth. After using everyday for about a week, I can honestly say that my skin was immaculate. I've never had much acne at all, but I do usually have one/two pimples at a time. After using this product for a week, no pimples whatsoever. I have gotten a few blemishes since using (fyi I don't use it everyday), but herbalism has really improved my skin. I also really like the way this cleaner smells, very natural. And can I just say, yes, this product is expensive. But boy does it last you! I have the larger 8.8 oz. jar for almost 8 months and I have a good quarter of the jar left even when I use a generous amount every other day or so. This product, for me, was definitely worth it and I WILL be buying again when I run out.

                                                        Generally, cosmetic product safety tests are not performed pregnant women or fetuses, so there is likely no official ruling. I would ask your physician about the specific ingredients in lush products. I have a feeling your doctor would prefer you use the natural ingredients so this might be perfect for you.

Don't get me wrong, Ocean Salt is amazingly brightening and Mask of Magnaminty has that great tingly feel and I love them both! But still I have little clogged pore bumps on my cheeks. Help?

                                                        A full skin cycle is about three weeks so we definitely recommend using the product for at least that length of time to see full results. When switching cleansers it is normal to experience breakouts, as it is the skins way of purging the impurities to reveal clearer skin.

                                                      I've been using this product for over a year and swear by it. My only problem is that when I order the larger container and use it once a day, I find that I still have half the product left when I hit the expiration date. Is it recommended to buy the large container and freeze half of the product to extend the shelf life? Or should I stick with the smaller containers?

                                                        Because the shelf life is only 3 months we would suggest purchasing the amount that you feel you will use within that time frame. For some, perhaps those in a household with more than one person using the product, it makes more sense to purchase the larger size, but for one person the smaller size may be more appropriate depending on how often it is used. If you find that you still have product left over when it is close to its expiry date we recommend purchasing the smaller, as freezing the product will not extend its shelf life.

                                                        Both products are facial cleansers, so I wouldn't recommend using them at the same time, as one cleanser is usually enough! However, you can alternate them, and you might find that you prefer to use one in the morning and one at night!

It is best to pay attention to how the product benefits your skin, and increase or decrease use as you see fit!

Because of its grittier texture, it is probably not best to use it with a Clarisonic, as it is designed to exfoliate with the simple circular motion of the hands!

Please do not continue to use a product if you experience increased or worsened breakouts after a few uses. I might recommend giving us a call at 1-888-733-5874 or visiting your nearest LUSH for a consultation to find the best product for your skin.

                                                      Well, my face is in between oily and dry. I don't know what that's called. Mixed, I think? Well, my forehead, which has a LOT of acne on it, is the oiliest part of my face. Sometimes it's ok, just a lil oily, and then sometimes it's just so oily I get in the shower and start washing. I tried using Dark Angels, but it was too... strong, I guess is the word? It left my skin dry, and when my skin gets dry, it gets oily. Anyways, what I want to know is if this product is too strong for my skin?? Can I use it, or will it dry out my skin?

                                                        Herbalism is a great product for acne-prone skin, as it works as a decongestant for your pores, helping to pull out dirt and oil and prevent acne while clearing up any excess acne. It shouldn't cause the skin to be overly dry, but in order to prevent excess dryness it is a good idea to follow up with a moisturizer afterwards.

                                                      What is the perfume in this product made out of? Is it synthetic or natural? I am very conscious of what I put on my skin and this product was recommended to me. I have very acne prone skin and am hoping this product will be a match for me.

                                                        Our "perfume" ingredients are patented formulas so we are unable to list what components constitute them. However, if the perfume is listed in green, it contains only natural ingredients. If it's listed in black, it does contain synthetics. For Herbalism, the perfume is listed in green, which means it is only naturally derived.

                                                        The Herbalism has a shelf life of three months from the date that it's made. It does not contain any preservatives, hence why it needs to be used when it is fresh!

                                                        The Herbalism does not need to be refrigerated, but it does have a shorter shelf life than our other products (three months, as opposed to 14 months). Keep an eye on the best by date to make sure its used when fresh, but don't worry about storing it in the fridge!

If you aren't anywhere near an in store location, I would say it might not be the right cleanser for dry skin, but it is definitely okay for sensitive skin. When I wash my face I can feel the soap pulling the oil off of my face and replacing it with some sort of slight moisturizer in the soap. However if I over-wash my face, I notice my skin is slightly overly dry afterwards and I still have to use a moisturizer no matter what ...so I probably wouldn't use it on dry skin.

                                                      I just purchased Herbalism over the weekend, trying to switch my cleansers. I used my friend Buche De Noel cleanser over the winter, numerous times, and i loved it and it made my skin amazing. It isnt sold any more, i guess, so i wanted to look for a lush cleanser to work for me. For the last couple days i have used it, my skin on my forehead and around my cheeks and eyes are now covered in very tiny bumps, almost like i am having an allergic reaction ((but only i can really see it, because of the attention i pay to my face). Is it possible i am having a mild allergic reaction? Will i be able to returne the rest of the untouched cleanser? Is there an alternative cleanser that is compaable to Buche De Noel? I want to fix things, before my skin gets worse.

My skin really didn't like the ultrabland at first, so I started using this one which my skin loves! But I would stop using it, and return it if you haven't already. I believe the return policy was 15 days and refund with receipt, or exchange without the receipt. Check your receipt to be sure, and check the retro section for the cleanser you were looking for.

                                                        Buche De Noel cleanser is actually a variation of Angels on Bareskin, our year round cleanser, so I would definitely recommend checking it out. You may be experiencing a mild reaction to one or more of the ingredients in Herbalism, or it may just be the skin trying to rid itself of impurities. Either way, if you found Buche De Noel to work well with your skin type I would suggest giving Angels on Bareskin a try.
