Aqua Marina

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

Man oh man, I can not express how much I love this product. When I first opened up the pot I definitely did not like the smell BUT with further faith in lush I tried it out. I have been using it every day since I got it, and I haven't gotten a single pimple, dry patch, or red splotch. I haven't even considered wearing cover up since! :)

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I have been using this product off and on for a few years now, and always revert back to this. Yes it is expensive but boy is it worth it! I use this product almost daily and it leaves my skin super soft to the touch. It lathers up well and your skin feels so good after you wash it. Unfortunately it doesn't strip make up but if you use a make up remover prior to cleansing you shouldnt have a problem. Have to say, I bought a small tub of it about a month ago and still have tons remaining.

Only negative is having to add water to it to create a paste. Sometimes its difficult finding the best product/water mixture.

I've been using this product daily since I got it and it works great :D Feels soothing and doesn't over dry my face. Just need to make sure to rinse well or it leaves a residue.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

Three years ago, I found myself on a Goldilocks-like journey for a cleanser. I went through several -- Fresh Farmacy (too drying), Angels on Bare Skin (too harsh), Herbalism (too irritating) -- before finally committing to Aqua Marina. Of all the cleansers I've tried (non-Lush cleansers included), this was the best for my sensitive and oily skin. It is gentle but thoroughly cleansing, cleansing but not irritating to my redness-prone skin. It was a little tricky using it at first, but I find that taking a pinch of this seaweed roll and applying it directly on your wet face helps eliminate the mess. Needless to say, I'm not switching loyalties anytime soon.

I don't know why people are saying it doesn't remove make-up... it removes my make-up just fine, it also has made my skin texture smoother and taken away the redness. I have combination skin, dry, red but oily and it balances it all out great. My only complaint is that I am not a seaweed fan so the smell isn't for me, but that minor factor wont stop me from using it just because it is such an awesome product!

You probably will skim past this review and not think much of it but this may help some oily/combination skinned people out there:
As I mentioned my skin is fairly oily (especially by mid day) but can be dry around the my jaw line. I've tried Dark Angels... too harsh, Angels on Bare Skin, good gentle exfoliator that I will probably still use once a week or at night but just nothing too talk about, Fresh Pharmacy.. I liked it but nothing spectacular...But this.. Aqua Marina is WONDERFUL. My skin was balanced after one use, not oily, and no redness! I work in the beauty industry and know how important it is to cover even the minor flaws.. but after using this my skin was so even in tone that it looked like I was still wearing a full face of make up (well complexion that is) however it took off my makeup so very well. Leaving my skin smooth and clean and it even works up a great lather.
I love this stuff. I don't say that often but I'm crazy about it!
If you are looking for something that will wow your pants off, buy even just a little bit of this! You won't regret it.

This is the only cleanser that i have tried which does not irritate my skin. I have tried Aveeno, Clean and Clear, Nuetrogena, but they all dry out my skin and leave it super red and irritated. Although this product is pretty messy, it is definitely worth it. The best way to use it is in the shower but I also do use this in the sink as well. It cleanses my skin and still leaves it soft and smooth. The best part? It reduces my redness almost completely. It does not remove makeup but I don't mind since I use my makeup remover wipes anyway. And the cost is quite high. I have Normal - Combination skin that is super sensitive and this is a miracle product for me. I HIGHLY recommend it!

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

This was the first product I ever bought at lush. The lady saw my skin and said it looked a tad dry. When I told her I don't like using too much product. She instantly led me to Aqua Marina.

I use this product everyday; when I get up and before I go to sleep. Doing what the instructions indicate.

I like how my skin gets really dry in the winter, and this product manages to fix that. It's just as effective in the summer. It clears out my break-outs, and keeps my skin smooth :)

It has an odd fishy smell to it. I couldn't get over it at fisrt, but after a while it wore out. Well it grew on me. It doesn't stick with me for the rest of the day. My only real problem is that it doesn't break up so easily.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I had been suffering from bad breakouts (about a step below full-blown acne) and terrible skin irritation and redness since my early teen years. I have literally tried hundreds of products in the past ten years to help clear up these skin problems, including expensive, brand name types, and nothing seemed to work - in fact, many of the products often left my skin in worse condition than before, and with horrible red scarring. I almost gave up on ever having nice skin entirely.

Then, I recently discovered that I had a pretty severe allergy to chamomile and tea tree - two major components in most acne products for their skin-clearing properties. It dawned on me that the products I had been using to help my skin had actually created the problem, since my breakouts and redness were actually just an allergic reaction. Looking for a product that was free of those two ingredients was difficult, but I finally found Aqua Marina.

Aqua Marina is hands down my new favourite cleanser. Within the first week of using it, my skin condition improved immensely. I had reduced redness, the few pimples I had calmed and no longer hurt, and the itchiness I normally would feel from other cleansers was gone. Now that I've been using it for just over amonth, I've had no new pimples and the redness in my face has decreased so drastically that even my sister noted to me that my acne scars - some of which I've had for years - seem to be diminishing or even gone etirely. I am beyond pleased. If you have sensitive skin, breakout, and have similar allergies to my own, I HIGHLY recommend this product to you. It's life-changing.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I normally use Fresh Farmacy but find it a bit drying so thought I'd change it up by using Aqua Marina as it still has the calomine base I like in FF. I thought the label said it all "calomine, aloe, and sea algae"...how could you go wrong (especially for sensitive, acne prone skin)? Well, wrong it was! Immediately after putting in on my face, my skin stung and BAD! I used it maybe two days (why I lasted that long I dunno) then threw it out. Found out later that sea algae is a MAJOR skin irritant (contrary to what you'd think, right?). No wonder I broke out from it. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone but especially not if your skin is senstive or acne prone.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I always HATE to give any Lush product a bad review, but I had to "speak up" about this one. It is marketed to sensitive/dry/irritated skin types, but in my mind this is false advertising. I blame the calomine!! This is far to dehydrating for anyone but the oiliest of skin types. Yes, it does minimize pimples (which was the reason I bought it - I was going through a very bad hormonal breakout), however, after 5 days of 2x/daily use, my skin is like the Sahara - dry/red/chapped and 2 sizes too small for my face. Another negative - it does NOT remove makeup! I am going back to my beloved Ultrabland to bring my skin back to normal.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I really like Aqua Marina. The moment I used it, it was so refreshing. Felt like i didn't need to use any toner or moisturizer. I will keep buying this till i find something better than this. For now i don't think anything can surpass this.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I bought this because I needed a cleanser and all I told the Sales person was that I was extremely dry and I would break out because I was so dry.
So I was recommended to try this product WOW.

It has been three days my pimples(ones that are under the skin too)are going away and all my pimple scars are GONE. Also my skin is so soft :)

My skin is almost picture perfect! BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU WANT SKIN THATS PERFECT TOO! :D

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I haven't had a breakout since I started using Aqua Marina. My skin is less irritated, red and bumpy than usual for this time of year. I will buy this again and again.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

This cleanser was recommended to me after I mentioned that I was using the Colour Supplement to cover up my redness and was told it would make my skin softer too. I adore it. It's also great for the really dry and cold winters. My redness went down and my face is very soft. I also have sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate it. The only thing I don't like is the overwhelming smell of the seaweed but, it's easily ignored.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

i have been using angels on bare skin for a couple weeks now. I loved the smooth feeling it gave my skin and how it removed the winter flakies, but my face continued to be an angry red colour. So after asking the sales girl about it she recommened this product. It is far gentler and smells of calamine lotion. I really noticed a difference in about 3 days. My cheek color has definatly gone down and any zits I have found have been virtually invisable. So for now i use both angels on bare skin to exfoliate and this to help with redness and breakouts till i find one that combines the two! Till then I just mush the two together and that works great for me!

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I bought this in Ireland because I loved it in the store and was worried they wouldn't have it in Canada. It was about 8-10 pounds there! But I have to admit, my skin feels super smooth and not so tight.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

I have a very sensitive skin and it's so difficult to find a facial cleanser that wouldn't give me breakouts. This is definitely a lifesaver!! I haven't had any breakouts since I've started using it and leaves my face so soft! The only thing I don't like about it is it's not foamy coz i like my soaps, face and body, foamy; as a result i tend to put more so i think too much of it will make the skin dry. :p just the right amount and it's perfect.

Comments about LUSH Aqua Marina:

Love the fresh smell and leaves feeling fresh and moisturized. Non greasy and non drying, I have been using for the past year and its hands down a must have LUSH product. Good value and lasts a long time. Vegan too!
