Sleepy Face

Great scent and removes makeup with ease.

It's such a satisfying feeling, smearing a thick, moisturizing layer of this stuff onto my dry, tired face at the end of the day. It feels so rich and good that sometimes I hesitate to wipe it off right after, and now that I'm reading some other people's reviews and finding out that a lot of them just leave it on and use it as a nighttime face cream? I'm going to have to give that a try!

I've used this for over a year now every night to clean my face. As someone with dry skin, it really really helps! I've also noticed it helped with redness and acne. The final feature I love is that is also has been good for removing makeup. I just rub it on my hands and then it takes off my makeup easily with the help of a washcloth (I've also used it with eye makeup and have not had any bad reactions or experiences!). I would highly recommend, although be aware that it is packaging free, so make sure you have a reusable container.

I purchased the Sleepy Face thinking it would smell like the sleepy lotion and twilight products. It's kind of like the la croix version of Sleepy, whereas I can kind of see where they were coming from, but the scent just isn't fully there. I could describe it as having been produced next to a vat of sleepy, but not quite combined together? Additionally, be aware that if you live in a warmer environment, your sleepy face will melt down (not a huge deal for me, I just popped it in the freezer for a couple minutes to revive the bar) but others may see this as a big negative. It works well as a cleanser, I have been using it at night along with Full of Grace and it keeps me hydrated while I sleep, which I definitely do enjoy. That being said I don't wear makeup, so it may not be the strongest makeup remover out there. All in all, I miiiight repurchase? It's definitely not my favorite, but I do prefer it to the ultrabland cleanser.

First of all, I love the new, larger size. Second of all, I love everything else about this amazing little bar! I think I may want to marry it? It's so nourishing and creamy and spreads so easily and it gives me the best yet gentlest cleanse I've ever had. And the smell!! I adore the scent! Are there any other Lush products with this exact scent? Because if so, I need to try all of them! Please, please, never discontinue this item!!

My then 10 year old and I went into Lush during a stay in Omaha, (The Spokane location wasn't yet open) and while something else was suggested for her extreme eczema at the time, Sleepy Time is what helped her face. Now she has smooth, ultra soft, clear skin- Even compared to other pre-teens Who have superb skin as a rule. I will continue to purchase this for her until her skin needs change, or Lush stops production... Hopefully the latter never occurs. Regarding scent- It's a little strange... Lavender, coco-butter... and a hint of... tea tree oil? But if changing the scent means changing the rope tries, please don't. It's tolerable and pleasant in a slightly astringent way.

I can't use this product more than 2x a week without breaking out. I assume this is because cocoa butter is considered mild to moderately comedogenic - meaning it can clog your pores and unfortunately that's what it does to me. It's a shame because I really love massaging this product on my skin, the smell is great too. I have combination skin, it may work for some people but not me unfortunately. I only plan on using it to remove my make up when I wear a lot of it, which isn't often.

I use Sleepy Face as an evening cleanser. You don't need a lot, just rub around on your face a few times, and then massage around/in with your fingertips. I find it works best to rinse by filling my hands with hot water, and pressing my face into the "puddle" in my hands and then gently massaging. Then I use a washcloth wet with hot water and hold to my face to kind of steam and then rub off excess. It leaves my skin feeling soft and clean, but I always follow with Argan facial oil for some rich hydration before bed. Overall I really like sleepy face, but haven't necessarily noticed anything extra special as far as acne curing, just promotes healthy, clean, soft skin. I do wish it smelled more like the classic sleepy fragrance though, to me it smells more like raw shea and cocoa butter. It isn't a bad smell, just not at all like I would expect for a product called "sleepy."

It took some getting used to, but I absolutely love Sleepy Face! Thank you Lush for making a bigger size :) I rub it into my skin gently (like a little face massage) then remove it with a make up eraser towel. It leaves my skin feeling so clean and soft, no matter how sweaty I was or how much makeup I had on! If I am wearing makeup, I remove it first, but the Sleepy Face helps get any leftover bits off (wouldn't recommend for eye makeup though!).

I was super pumped to try this. I was expecting it to melt into a lovely oily cleanser but this ended up melting into a disgusting mess. It felt like it put warm vaseline jelly on my face and was very difficult to wash off because it left a thick film on my skin. Gonna return this ASAP
