Review: Desert Essence Thoroughly Clean Face Wash

Note: Packaging has been
updated.

When I first had a bikini wax from one of the top estheticians in L.A., she recommended I use an affordable face wash to keep my bikini area free from ingrown hairs. This is how I discovered Desert Essence's Thoroughly Clean Face Wash, a product which is also an excellent face wash for combination to oily skin.

Pros:

• Easy to apply
• Very gentle formula
• Light, pleasant scent
• Effective cleanser
• Affordable
• Retail availability
  

Cons:

• Liquid consistency

Summary:
I fell in love with this face wash, and I have depended on it for many years. It has a liquid consistency, so I use it in the shower, dispensing some into my hands and rubbing them together to lather. You could also put it into a foaming dispenser if you prefer. I used this so often that I even bought the bulk size, which is a good value. This wash is quite gentle, rating a low 1 on the EWG Skin Deep database. The formula is gluten-free and vegan. If you need a face wash to help with occasional breakouts, this is one of my favorites.

Also available on Amazon.com.
