I have been using this product for years, and it is by far my favourite thing to use on my skin. When I've run out, it generally takes me a few days to get back into the shop and get a new batch, but my skin totally feels the difference even after a few days. No spots, thank you very much!

I bought this product on a recommendation from my aunt who has been a lush customer for a while and I used it for about 3 months with amazing results. It cleared up my hugely acne-prone skin and because I'm 15, that is a great benefit. It is a bit messy, but is easy to clean up and a small mess shouldn't be a reason not to get anything. But because I live somewhere that doesn't have a LUSH store, I had to stop using it for months. I got another set from my aunt and started using it again, but this time I found it didn't work very well. My present acne would go away, but new ones would come up everyday. I don't know if it was something I was doing or something with Herbalism but I moved on to Coalface. Still trying it out. I wouldn't say Herbalism doesn't work because my twin sister uses it too, and it works for her.

      Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:

      This is hands down the best cleanser I have ever used. And believe me, I have tried them all. It smells fresh, cleans well and lasts forever. Well worth the money you spend as you don't need much. It heals my acne and scrubs away little bumps that form. I strayed just to try something else and never again. I'll be buying LUSH products for life!

      Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:

      BEST CLEANSER EVER!!!! If you're like me, I'm sure you have moments when you want to be so good to your skin and take care of it, then life happens, and you get lazy, then the breakouts takeover! Trust me, once you start seeing results from this product, you want Herbalism to be a daily routine! I've gotten compliments on my skin even during exam season!!!! It tightens, brightens, and tones problem skin. I've tried everything in the market and dropped thousands of dollars on products, but since trying Herbalism, I've managed to see results and save money! Trust me, you'll never go back to the stuff you're using now! ;)

      How to use:
      -Take a quater size or a bit more (if needed) on the palm of your hand.
      - Hand a tiny pit of water and mix with your index finger until it turns into a paste.
      -Start with once side of your face, then alternate to the other. If you do not mix it well, the clumps will fall off your face while trying to cleanse.
      -Put a generous portion on your cheeks, forehead, and nose (most problem areas for problem skin)
      -Try keeping it away from your nostrils. If you're like me, you'll notice that it goes up your nostrils and can sometimes dry up if you haven't rinsed properly. LOL

        Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:

        At first I really liked this cleanser, but after about a month my skin started to really break out into small bumps that I had never had before on my forehead. I didn't feel refreshed and clean afterwards, and my skin still felt oily. I have very oily, acne-prone skin and I'm going to say goodbye to Herbalism.

          I really love this cleanser, I have always had really oily and acne-prone skin, but this cleanser helps so much. While I still breakout, it is a lot less often and it goes away a lot more quickly.

          My skin feels soft and clean after each use.

          Thanks Lush!

          I have had extremely problematic skin, and this has caused me to be on some nasty chemicals to clear my skin, and has scared my face.
          I finally got my acne down to a normal amount, and was able to stop using prescribed medications. This was amazing, but I then had trouble finding a good face wash.
          This was my solution, a friend recommended Lush, and I love her for it! As I am only 17, acne is a big problem, but now it's just a little one. Thanks Lush!

          I've been depending on Herbalism for a couple of months, and my skin has seen MUCH improvement due to it! Not only does it feel and smell great while you're using it, if you don't use too much it's not very messy, either. It leaves my skin feeling soft and clean after each use. Herbalism lasts for a while, too, because you only need a pinch of it to clean your entire face. :)

          I honestly think this is the best face cleaner I've ever used! I've used so many in my past, I'm happy this actually works for me.
          I've had problems with pimples when I was on and off with trying different birth control pills. I've tried Proactive, Acne Free, L'oreal, Clean and Clear, and Aveeno. Herbalism is WAY better than the other stuff I used.
          It makes my skin feel smooth and so clean. I only get tiny pimples every once in a while now thanks to Herbalism!
          I do find this product messy and sometimes it did dry my skin out. I think that only happened when I use too much at once, though. But hey, better to have a messy product that actually works right? :)

            I've had problems finding a face cleanser that works for me for a long time. Anything that seemed to clear up my face left it dry and irritable, but not with this! Leaves my skin soft and clean and even cleared up the black heads on/around my nose which was a huge problem for me. Highly recommend this! I use it daily!

            Comments about Herbalism Cleanser:

            I've never written a review before, but because of the amazing results I've gotten from using Herbalism, I feel like I definitely need to share! I have very acne-prone, combination skin, and before trying Herbalism, I tried literally everything, from ProActiv to pretty much every other brand there is. Nothing seemed to really work; either my skin would get flaky and dry when I began to see results, or my skin would feel balanced but my acne would not subside.

            I read the reviews and thought I'd give Herbalism a try, I have to say it's one of the best cleansers I've used. It is a bit messy (the small exfoliating bits can get in your hair) but the way it cleanses and hydrates my skin makes it so worth it. Within a week of using herbalism, I saw results; my skin felt softer and smoother. Now that it's been a month, I can definitely say that I've seen a dramatic improvement in my complexion. I still have blemishes, but they are much smaller, my pores seem smaller, and the light blackheads that dotted my nose have disappeared. My skin is less oily, but I did take off a star because I wish that it wouldn't get quite so oily after just a few hours..

            Although Herbalism hasn't completely cleared up my acne, it has given me a more radiant, healthy complexion. I plan to combine it with other lush products to hopefully be acne-free once and for all!

            I've gone through 3 of this cleanser. When I first saw the description on LUSH I thought "this sounds like exactly what I need." So I gave it a try. I AM SO GLAD that I did!!! This product definetly decongest the oils that clogged up the pores and it does it gently without irrating or drying the skin!! Thus it reduces the break out and oil on my skin and make it so soft and hydrated... The texture could be a little messy and u gotta be careful not to let water get in the container. Otherwise it's a great cleanser for oily/combo skin!

            I absolutely love herbalism. It was one of the first products that I had bought at Lush. I love how it doesn't leave your skin feeling tight after you use it. It makes my skin feel refreshed, and I just love it. It can be a bit messy but it's something I can live with because it makes my skin happy.

Within a week, my forehead was noticeably clearer, though not perfect. The rest of my face looks amazing. While I never had acne below my forehead, my skin has never been so soft or glowing. It's now been about 3-4 weeks of using it, and my forehead no longer breaks out, but is still healing. If I hadn't used Herbalism, I probably would have continued to get acne. The only downside of this cleanser is that it's a bit messy and you have to be careful not to get it wet, which is hard for me to do when I use it in the shower.

              I have terrible skin... I mean really oily, sensitive, blemish-prone skin. I started using this product about 2 months ago, and noticed immediate results (minimized redness, softer skin, fresh feeling skin), and the results got better every day. I used it morning and night, and some times once when getting home from work also. When I ran out of product for a couple of weeks, my blemishes started appearing about 3-4 days after discontinuing use. I just wish that there was a more convenient store location for me so that I would never be without this amazing cleanser.

                At first I liked this product. It's not drying and it does leave a clean feeling. After continued use though, it made me break out even worse than before.

                I would use this product at night, before going to bed. I was told that this product would clear up my acne, and make my pores appear smaller. They did appear smaller after 3 weeks of using it. But it did not get rid of my zits and acne. Don't get me wrong, I would recommend this product for others! Maybe it's just my skin acting stubborn!

                  I have combination skin, some oily patches and some dry patches. After using this my skin is so soft and feels so clean. It seems to balance out my combination skin. Love this.

                    I just bought my Lush product and it says it was made on August 12 although it doesn't include the expiration date! When does my 0.5 lb of Herbalism expire?

                      Herbalism is good for at least 3 months after the date it is made.
