Almond Clear Face & Body Wash | Skin Care for Acne and Folliculitis-Prone Skin - Gentle Acne Face & Body Wash, Exfoliating Cleanser with Mandelic Acid | 16 oz

I love how this cleanser feels on my face. The lather is so soft and slippery. This cleanser quickly became a holy grail for me.

I use this product every day. Originally just once a day I would put it on with a warm wet washcloth and wait five minutes and hop in the shower. Then wipe off with the rinsed washcloth. I do recommend going easy and not firmly scrubbing if you have sensitive skin like I do. I also recommend that rather than using a dime size amount at once, use smaller amounts as you systematically go over each section you have issues with. My skin is night and day right now. My arms and thighs are butter soft even without using hand cream/lotion. Within days you could see little ingrown hairs climbing out. The bumpy skin is almost gone completely. I also have folliculitis in a TMI area (this can happen if you frequently shave an area that doesn't like being shaved and also if you are heavy and skin touches skin). I use this in the morning with the shower (as stated above) and at the end of the day with warm water from the sink. I use a fresh washcloth each time and a fresh towel as I don't want any bacteria as this can be an issue with folliculitis. This was becoming such an issue, especially with the warm weather and I was so frustrated and in discomfort (sometimes to the point of pain) until this product came along. I can't say enough about how much I'd recommend this for folliculitis. If you are fighting skin battles that you are just simply not winning, try this product. I feel like an advertisement (sadly, was not paid nor received free product for this ;) ), but this stuff is like a godsend to me. Currently 3 weeks and 2 days in and will be adding the serum to the routine.

Every time I stop using this stuff (mainly because of expense), I always eventually end up coming back to it. For years now it's been a summer must-have for me! When warmer weather rolls around and shaving becomes a more regular practice, almond clear becomes an essential for me for reducing/preventing unsightly razor bumps and in-growns. This time around as I've uptaken using it again, I was pleasantly surprised that in a matter of days it also cleared up a stubborn breakout/bump/hyperpigmentation situation that popped up on my upper chest/decolletage a few months ago for which nothing else has worked. Almond Clear has a loyal customer in me - can always count on it to do the job.

Works pretty well, I only wish it had more of an exfoliation feel to it. It has cleared up my darker spots though which is why I gave it 4 stars. It is fragrance free and non greasy.

I have oily skin, and this product dried it out so much that it actually caused me to develop cystic acne—something I had never experienced before. I’m confident this product is the culprit since it was the only change in my routine. I gave it multiple chances, trying it three separate times with weeks or months in between, and every single time it led to cystic breakouts and worsened my overall skin condition. It’s clear this product doesn’t work for me. I really wanted to love it, but after three failed attempts, I can’t give it anything more than 1 star. EDIT 12/4/24: I’m updating my review to 3 stars because the customer service I received was excellent. They listened to my feedback, apologized for the inconvenience, and were very understanding. While this product didn’t work for me, I recognize that it may work for others. I might even be willing to try a different formula from this brand in the future.

I’ve never been one to have or have had issues with my skin, until recently. I visited my dermatologist after months of irritating, itchy, small uniformed bumps that developed on my cheeks and chin area that remained persistent despite my attempts to get rid of it by using several OTC acne treatments. I was diagnosed with Pityosporum Folliculitis, which is basically an overgrowth of the normal yeast everyone has on their skin (malassezia). I was advised to use the dandruff Shampoo Nizoral which did not help the problem due to the severe irritation and mild burning it caused. Jacked my skin up! After searching online, I came across a site that outlines the causes of PF, what ingredients to avoid in products, and what products can help treat and cure the Folliculitis. I saw Almond Clear on the site and decided to purchase the face and body wash along with the serum, and I AM SOOOO GLAD I DID. After one week of use, my face has completely cleared! Apparently the mandelic acid is magic! I will continue to use the face wash and serum for maintenance purposes and will definitely repurchase!

I am just absolutely in tears. I spent a fortune on everything in this line! I saw the reviews, I saw the promises they made, and I was so hopeful! I kept buying more and more, bigger amounts, more of the product line, etc. I spent months exhausting every dime to buying all of the Almond Clear products hoping for relief, even a little. I saw very little difference as diligent as I was with using it as directed. After months, there is no difference and at one point I had an outbreak worse than ever. I am a single mom of 3, on a budget and having low self esteem over this. Nobody wants to date a woman with 3 kids, yet alone covered in horrible sores from a nasty folliculitis outbreak that won't clear. I was so hopeful. I cried because I wanted it to work so bad. I saw the reviews. I wasted so much money. I could have used it on bills, food, etc. I am just really upset. I feel cheated. Almond Clear promised! They guaranteed it to work! But it didn't. Not at all. I was scammed. I wasted my money. Money that could have put food on my table.

Very nice. Very different from a lot of washes I have tried. Cuts my shower routine and products in half now. I got it to help with hair bumps, KP, odor control and everything else I think is wrong with my skin. Cleans without needing too much and doesn't leave that oil film residue, making it great for applying new moisture. My hair bumps have been greatly reduced since using and it helps with that prickly itch of new hair growth. My kp bumps are no longer raised or clogged. I even have my mom using it and got the bigger one for both of us to use.
