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 have cystic acne, not a lot, but when i get them, they're very painful. I have tried all the good stuff all to just waste my hard earned money.
Trust me go to lush, invest in your face and use all natural products when you can. herbalism is amazing! and it is just one of the amazing products from this company.
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!

Cons

Best Uses
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
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!

Cons

Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
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.

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

Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
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!!!

Cons
Best Uses
- Acne prone skin

Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
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!!!

- Gentle
- It works
- Smells Good
Cons
- Messy
Best Uses
- Acne
- Blemishes
- Oily To Combination
- Severe Acne
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
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.

Amazing for oily skin!
Pros
Cons
- Strange consistency
Best Uses
- Acne prone skin
- Oily skin
- Teen Years
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
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!!!

- Smells Great
Cons
- Expensive
Best Uses
- ALL SEASONS
- Combination Skin
- Daily Cleanser
- Dry Skin
- In the shower
- Oily skin
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
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.

Best Uses

Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
After a good several washes with this, I can soundly say that this product truly cleans my oily face. Unfortunately it brings all the dirt in my pores up to the surface and the residue instantly create new pimples. This is easily avoided when I wash with Dark Angels afterwards.

The BEST cleanser hands down!
Pros
- Eases Redness
- Reduces oiliness
- Skin feels amazing
- Unclogs pores
Cons
Best Uses
- Hormonal Breakouts
- Oily skin
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
This cleanser is hands down the best product I have ever come across. Being a 23 year old that still experiences hormonal breakouts, I was sick of the harsh alcohol-based products and ready to go the natural way. I have tried everything--proactiv, clinique acne solutions, origins, dermologica, every over the counter product, etc. The herbalism cleanser reduces the size of my pimples, eases redness, makes my skin far less oily in the T-zone areas, and makes my face feel soft and wonderful. I would recommend this cleanser for anyone that experiences those hormonal breakouts and gets quote oily in the T-zone areas. Thank you lush for making my skin look beautiful!

So Far so Good
Pros
- Gentle cleansing
- Leaves face soft
- Rinses Easily
- Smells Good
Cons
Best Uses
- Good For Combination Skin
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
I learned about this product from my 29 year old daughter which found out about it from a co-worker with extremely troubled facial skin. I'm a 51 year old African American woman who has battled with ache and combination skin all of my life. I have never used make-up and always wanted a natural clear skin tone without the use of make-up of any kind. The dark spots on my cheeks and the dark circles under my eyes developed as I was getting older has been very embarrassing. I received the Herbalism yesterday (03/27/2013) and on the first use my skin felt soft and looked really clean. I then applied the Full of Grace Serum which smells fantastic. The same route was followed this morning and tonight (03/28/2013) and I can really see a difference. The T-zone of oil has minimized dramatically and the dark spots on my cheeks and under eyes are fading. Thank you LUSH for making animal free products that really work. My daughter is also pleased with the product. Placed another order today and can't wait to receive it. The only down side for me is the closest LUSH store to me is in New Orleans, LA and live on the Mississippi Gulf-Coast (1 1/2 hours away) so I will keep ordering on the web.

- Gentle exfoliator
- Gentle To Use 2x Each Day
- Works immediately
Cons
- Easily Contaminated
Best Uses
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
After trying ultrabland which completely broke me out, I was recommended to try Herbalism. And it works wonders. Great cleanser and gentle exfoliator. Prior to this I could not find a cleanser that balanced my skin as to not have dry, dull skin but at the same time not leaving my skin oily. After using herbalism and Cosmetic Warrior, my skin looked much brighter with just enough moisture left on my skin. Thank goodness. I had used this before and it worked really well, but it got contaminated when I accidentally put water into the container. I think this is what led to me breaking out after about a month using the product. Because up until that point, it really helped to clear my face. A SA from Hawaii was very kind and he gave me a small Lush container to put the product a little bit of time so as to not have the ability to contaminate the entire container. Brilliant idea. I would recommend you asking for a small container as well. Thank you Lush for hiring great employees. And service at Lush is always wonderful. They're so helpful, generous with their time, and patient always.

Happy with herbal
Pros
- Gets rid of oil
- Less oily
- Smells Good
- Very Scrubby
Cons
- A bit messy
Best Uses
- Cleanser
- Make-up Remover
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
Herbalism is the first Lush product I ever tried! I have combination, sometimes spotty, skin, and I was looking for a cleanser that would help me in the balancing department. This one really did the trick- after using Herbalism for about a month, my skin already feels way healthier, less shiny, and just overall... better! I can't quite explain it. The only true downside for me was that I was looking for something that would help to control my breakouts- this product definitely makes them less noticeable, but doesn't get rid of them entirely (I don't think it's meant to do that, though). Also, don't use this unless you're standing over a sink or another source of running water (it can get a bit messy). Overall, I highly recommend!

Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
I discovered Lush about 2 months ago on a recommendation from my boyfriend who has been a big fan for a long time. I did some research on the website and then went to my closest store. While there, I picked up this cleanser. Initially I found that this wasn't the greatest cleanser on its own. It did, however, make my skin feel very soft and somehow allowed me to get out of the shower without my skin peeling from being dry. Here's how I use Herbalism: First I wash with a L'Oreal sensitive skin cleanser. Then I apply Herbalism and massage it around for about a minute. Then I let it sit on my face while I finish showering. I then massage it around a little again and rinse. Since I've been using Herbalism I've noticed a distinct difference and improvement in the amount of acne I've been getting. My skin is also incredibly soft and not dry. (As a reference, my skin is ALWAYS broken out and peeling from dryness at the same time. And I'm 34... this has been going on since I was about 11 and it's just not fun anymore. The joke is old.) I would recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin and acne issues. It does a wonderful job balancing my skin and I'm so happy to have found something that works for me!

By Lrod
from New York, NY
Pros
- Clears skin
- Exfoliates
- Leaves skin smooth
- works
Cons
Best Uses
- Clears acne
- Exfoliating skin
- Smoothes skin
Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:
I have tried many things to clear my skin and nothing ever really worked. I have acne prone oily skin and the texture and tone of my skin was horrible, always greasy and my skin even looked a bit aged from time to time.
I bought the herbalism after reading some reviews and it came recommended from the staff of lush when I asked what would help my problematic skin.
After just one week my blemishes began clearing up, after 2 weeks my skin was significantly less oily. I am going on week 3 and cannot wait to see what my skin will look like at the end of my one month trial.
I am photographing each week and documenting the progress.
I am also using Greece lightning and the tea tree toner as part of my regiment.

Q:
I've been using Herbalism for over a week and I believe it made me breakout. Is this normal to happen to acne-prone skin? Is this just the product purging my skin? How long should I use Herbalism until I should switch to something else? (i.e. Fresh Pharmacy)Asked on 4/10/2013 by Taylor from PhiladelphiaKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
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.Answered on 5/15/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:
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?Asked on 1/18/2013 by GillyB from Portsmouth, NHKnow the answer? Answer this question
1 answer
A:
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.Answered on 3/5/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

A:
Depending on your skin type, you can definitely use Herbalism every day, whereas some find that it is best used only a couple of times per week. It is best to pay attention to how the product benefits your skin, and increase or decrease use as you see fit!Answered on 2/28/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:
Is it worth purchasing this product in the full size because it's shelf life is only 3 months? Or should i keep repurchasing the smaller container? My concern is i do not want to purchase the full size and not use it up before it expires.Asked on 1/3/2013 by AnonymousKnow the answer? Answer this question

A:
Whether you purchase the large or small size is entirely dependent on how often, and how much product you are using. 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.Answered on 2/28/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:
This is my first time using Herbalism. It's very new to me, as I'm used to using gel cleansers. Is it normal for it to be gritty after adding water? I felt like if I add too much water it would turn to runny liquid. Also, is it okay to use this with a Clarisonic? Thank you!Asked on 12/24/2012 by AnonymousKnow the answer? Answer this question

A:
It is definitely normal for Herbalism to be gritty, as it is a clay-based cleanser that also has ground almonds and rice bran. 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!Answered on 3/7/2013 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct

I have been using this along with Grease Lightening about 6 weeks and I am breaking out in horrible painful cysts on my checks and jawline.

A:
It sounds like you may have a sensitivity to this product, or that it might not be right for your skin. 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.Answered on 11/2/2012 by Megan from LUSH
Q:
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?Asked on 9/16/2012 by Kiara the Oily from New York, NYKnow the answer? Answer this question

My face is similar, parts are super super dry(around my nose) and some parts are very oily(I usually break out on my chin) and I thought this was a perfect cleanser, it moisterized the areas I needed it to very well, but it didn't leave my chin oily at all.Answered on 9/20/2012 by Allifaynorm from Houston, TXA:
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.Answered on 11/2/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
Q:
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.

im pretty sure it is all natural, but trust me this stuff works wonders!Answered on 11/6/2012 by lexirawzo from simi valleyA:
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.Answered on 1/31/2013 by Anonymous

A:
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!Answered on 7/13/2012 by Laura from LUSH

I say yes. I have combination skin and it is great because it gives moisture where I need it and soaks up the excess oil I have in my T-zone. I Also have sensitive skin and Rosacea it works like a dream!Answered on 3/17/2012 by Cin from Newberg, ORA:
Yes it is, I also have dry and sensitive skin and this product works great for me. If you're still not convinced try a free sample from your local LUSH before buying any.Answered on 4/4/2012 by Tarik from Baltimore, MDA:
Yes, I have found that Herbalism does not remove all of the essential oils from my skin making it a good product for dry and sensitive skin people.Answered on 4/12/2012 by Herby from Fairbanks, AKA:
Ask for a sample next time you go to the store and try it out. 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.Answered on 4/27/2012 by NewLushie from Seattle, WA

Q:
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.Asked on 2/7/2012 by AnonymousKnow the answer? Answer this question

A:
It sounds like your having a reaction to the product, which happens sometimes. 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.Answered on 5/22/2012 by Tasha from ChicagoA:
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.Answered on 8/30/2012 by Melissa S from LUSH Direct
