Acnedote Deep Pore Wash

I actually got this accidentally when ordering their "acne dote" but am pleased as punch with this one as well. It was quite nice for a deep pore wash; it was gentle and soothing, but seemed to have an impact strong enough for people to notice after just a couple uses. I'm noticing that there's already some moisturizing along with the effectiveness of cleansing. Not much is needed and it's an awesome price for how long I'm expecting it to last. Really zero complaints on this one :)

I bought this after deciding that I wanted to start a new skin care regime. I've always washed my face, and used toners and makeup, but recently decided I needed to start moisturizing and discontinue to the use of very strong hydrogen peroxide cleansers in order to let my face be at it's best. I've suffered from acne for years. I am now 29 yrs old and believe a lot of it was caused by my poor knowledge of how to cleanse. I started out double cleansing with the Boscia oil cleanser and bought this as my second cleanse. I've used the alba acnedote peel mask before and liked that the ingredients in the alba line are botanical and natural. This has a very light scent that's hard to define, it's definitely not strong and maybe can be described as a bright, citrus scent. It's a thin, runny cleanser and did arrive from Amazon with some of it leaking and coating the outside but I just rinsed it and that was that. This does foam up, which I love, and does an effective job at removing makeup and oil without being harsh. It's NOT supposed to be eaten, but while washing if a bit gets on your lips which tends to happen, it tastes like citrus. Which tells me it does have a high content of botanical plant based ingredients. Of course I didn't mean to taste it but there ya go. I have it on auto delivery once per month now because it takes me about a month to use up and I'm using this as my regular cleanser now. You must needn't use a lot and sometimes too much comes out of the bottle but if you're aware before using it that can be avoided. My new go to! My face has cleared up considerably using the ordinary squalane cleanser as the first cleanse, the alba as the second, followed by the ordinary glycolic acid toner, and topped off with a bit of the ordinary moisturizing factors. I do not use a sunscreen and i know that will horrify most skincare junkies but there is a sunscreen in my foundation and I wear it everyday. I still have a long way to go with my skincare routine and perfecting it but the alba is here to stay. My face literally feels squeaky clean but not taut and dried out from harsh ingredients. Love this. Thanks alba

Not even sure where to start! I have fungal acne and this is the ONLY face wash that targets my acne!! I use this on the days I have flare up (can be slightly drying) and alter 2 washes, POOF! GONE! If you’re considering, please give it a try:)

Affordable salicylic acid cleanser that works well for my combination and sensitive skin. I use it because my T-zone tends to get quite oily, and it helps to clean my skin and unclog my pores.

Love this pore wash. Cleans my face very well. Especially with all that makeup. A little goes a long way.

I've been using this face wash for years and keep coming back to it. It works incredibly well at keeping my skin clear without leaving it feeling overly dry or stripped. A little goes a long way, and one bottle lasts quite a while. I love that it contains salicylic acid but still feels gentler than many other acne cleansers I've tried. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, and I've noticed fewer breakouts when I use it consistently. The scent is light and pleasant, and it rinses off easily without leaving any residue behind. This has become a staple in my skincare routine, and I buy it over and over again. Effective, affordable, and reliable—exactly what I want in a face wash. Highly recommend!

I’ve been using this face wash for over a year now, and it’s easily the best clean non-toxic cleanser I’ve tried. It consistently keeps my acne under control without ever drying out my skin. One of the things I love most is how well it foams, you only need a small amount to get a rich lather that spreads easily across your face. Also after about 30 seconds, you start to feel this amazing cool peppermint tingle that leaves your skin feeling super refreshed and clean. It’s a perfect pick-me-up in the morning or after a long day. Another big plus: the ingredients. It’s made with all-natural, non-toxic ingredients, which gives me peace of mind about what I’m putting on my skin. No harsh chemicals or artificial fragrance, just a clean, effective formula that works. If you're looking for a natural face wash that actually delivers results, I can’t recommend this one enough.

Do not try using this if you have sensitive skin! I bought this thinking wow maybe I found a acne solution that'd work for my hypersensitive skin, but low and behold thats one of the worst decisions I've ever made. Only thing I've used that gave me as strong of a reaction if not worse was trying proactive including their "sensitive skin" formula product. I tried using this and my first use it felt like someone had just taken a very coarse sand paper and rubbed it allover my face, the pain from that was so intense I nearly passed out in my own bath! And within under 30 minutes after I used the product I felt my skin and it was peeling off and it felt rough and bumpy and was void of all moisture in my skin. I couldn't figure out what was going on and when i looked in my mirror my entire face looked like it'd just been chemically burnt and any slight touch sent jolts of pain everywhere and hurt so badly. So I knew I'd gotten a pretty severe chemical burn considering I had blisters allover my face and my skin was peeling like I had a bad sun burn and your skin starts peeling. I check the ingredients list and found out that 2 of the most harsh chemicals I'm allergic to were in the wash. Discovering that I was completely in shock, after all this is something made by alba Botanica one of the leading brands of all natural products and a brand I'd never heard of anyone reacting to. Why are 2 harmful chemicals in their products? I still am shocked those chemicals are in this brands products especially one for sensitive skin. And i thought about it and finally the dots started lining up, the ingredients in the proactive i tried are the same 2 chemicals found in this wash. The God send of acne management and so called magic was a very harsh factory made chemical that we people created. Its not from nature at all and its in almost every acne control product I've tried. I still ask myself this question, why is such a harsh chemical used in a so called all natural brand? Still no answer to that question and I'll end this on that note. If i could give this product negative stars than i would. I will never recommend this to anyone ever!

My skin has started getting rashes after using it for 2 days. I cannot return the product now. Probably these products don't work with the weather conditions we have in India. Pls. make a note.

At 63 years old I thought my acne would go away but that wasn't the case for me...most products out there are for teenagers with oily skin so for me they were to harsh and dried out my skin causing even more wrinkles. This product does a great job and doesn't irritate the skin. It works for me.

I am 60 years of age and have had late onset adult acne since I was 30 years old. This product Really, Really deep cleans !!! Will initially sting on open lesions and sores. Will not do so on closed acne lesions. Also useful clearing sweat and grime after strenuous, aerobic exercise or working hard in the garden. I will definitely buy again

It works well

So far I haven’t seen much improvement with my acne using this product.
