Aqua Marina

this has been my go-to face wash for nearly 6 years. I'd battled with sensitive, hormonal acne-prone skin since I was a teenager - finding aqua marina was a serious GAME CHANGER. skin still ain't perfect, but man does this stuff help! please never change and please come back in stock soon !!!

What a crock. Huge chunks of weed, no calamine, and essentially salt for the "gentle scrubbing". My face broke out from the dirt left behind.

Ok.... this one is stinky. The seaweed really brings on the funk.... combined with the perfumey floral calamine it isn't the most pleasant smell... The texture is..... sticky...... slimy.....goopy..... HOWEVER, the soothing calamine combined with the cleansing ingredients SERIOUSLY does the job. A very gentle cleanser that leaves your face nice and soft. I can get over the stinkiness and weird texture for the results it gives.

I'll be honest, I didn't love this face wash the first couple of times I used it. The texture definitely differs from your average drug store product. That being said, I decided to give it a shot and within 2 weeks I saw improvement in my skin. After a month of consistent use, I experienced my first period since the start of puberty that didnt come with a hormonal acne flareup. I also have hyperpigmentation in my cheeks (they're very red) and this product has helped with that where a half dozen dermatologist-prescribes products didn't. I never thought a change in face wash could make such a big difference, but I'll never buy the drug store versions again. Thank you, Lush!!

I typically use it when my skin becomes very dry/flakey and sensitive, especially during these harsh winters. The calamine aspect is very soothing to any healing skin I might have, and it has a very gentle texture all around. The packaging has the nori lining the pot, so you do need to break some off while you scoop it out for daily cleansing. Unfortunately I'm personally not a huge fan of the scent of calamine, but I don't find that it lingers, especially after I go through the rest of my skincare routine. A small sacrifice to make for my sensitive skin!

Got this the other day and in 3 days my acne went away. I LOVE the way my skin looks even my husband has commented me on it. This is a must have and my only place I will be shopping.

This is hands down my top 3 fav Lush product. The smell is amazing, it feels so luxurious on the skin, and my face is soft as a dream after. Another great thing, a little goes a long way. I take a dime size in my wet hands and spread evenly on the face, massage, and rinse with warm water.

I really love this product. I have very sensitive, acne-prone skin and this cleanser is one of the only cleansers I've been able to add to my routine without causing me to be too dry or break out. I feel like the seaweed really helps to calm and balance my skin, along with all the other ingredients. This is definitely my go-to cleanser and nothing I've tried in between tubs of this had done a better job. If you have combo sensitive skin like me, I do recommend!

I have been battling oily skin and acne for over a year now. I've had sensitive skin my entire life. Bought based on the review's and LUSH's reputation for clean, natural products - it does not disappoint. I've been using this cleanser for a few weeks now and I'm really enjoying it. My face feels clean and soothed after using, never tight or dried out. Like other reviewers, I have trouble with the paste-like consistency that is supposed to result when mixing with water - mine always turns out more liquidy like milk. This is not an issue or deal breaker though, I find it is cleaning my skin just fine. I'm started using Cosmetic Lad moisturizer at the same time and the two together are a dream team.

I want to love this product, but for some reason the smell turns me off so much. Im not sure if anyone else has had this experience but it smells like cigarette butts. I just can't get past it. I also don't like the seaweed I can't really get it to mix with the product so it just goops up all over my shower. Won't be buying again ...
