Rated 5 out of 5 by TammyQ from Doesn't over dry my skin or burn my eyes This salicylic acid wash is much better than what you could buy in a drugstore. I've had less tiny white heads and clogged pores since I've been using it. DHC needs to make sure it comes up under their "oily skin type" product selection link. It didn't and I thought it was discontinued.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ritaelizebeth from I love the product I started developing forehead acne and occossionally cystic acne on the temples but since I started using this product, Ive had no problems. I love the smell, the feel on my skin, and this product does not dry your face out.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anje from Small expensive bottle. Results took 3-4 weeks I don't really like this face wash. Has no lather at all, and doesn't really spread that far meaning I use more product then other face washes. The bottle is really small! Only 4oz! I have a hard time affording DHC but I feel it's usually worth it because the products last a long time. This one doesn't last long. Smells like medicine, and dries my face out. Even after using cleansing oil, if I follow with this, it'll strip the moisture the cleansing oil put in my face. I always have to rush to lotion my face after washing with this. But... it works pretty good at keeping my pores small and face clear. I don't get terrible acne, just a bit and I have big pores. After 3-4 weeks my pores got smaller. I would like to recommend this but most young adults can't afford it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Hshaw from Simply awesome. I can’t believe what a small amoun Simply awesome. I can’t believe what a small amount turns into an entire body wash worth of bubbles. Seriously… A quarter size in the palm of your hand will clean your entire body. And I break out everywhere so this has been a godsend. I also put a little bit in my soaking bath which helps as well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Chicshopper from This Really Helps My son went off the big name acne wash years ago and used this whole 3 part system and loved this acne system with great results! But unfortunately DHC took this whole product system off their list and now just brought the wash and spot back. Myself and daughter also loved the Toner in this system, in our own face regiment. I had to purchase this overseas and now it is not available there either. We are waiting and hoping DHC brings the toner back so we all can have it and get this great face cleaning and acne system again. We love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by chilibillydog from Need to use longer, but so far -so good! This is not a foaming cleanser, but I can tell it has active ingredients. I like using chemical exfoliate cleansers along with basic routine.
