GIOVANNI D:tox System Facial Cleanser - Super Antioxidants Acai and Goji Berry, Activated Charcoal, Removes Impurities for a Beautiful Complexion, Hypoallergenic, Dermatologist Tested - 7 Fl Oz

I am posting my full review of this system to each product I purchased! See below, and I hope you find this review helpful!I read a ton of reviews in searching for a new line of facial cleansing products, and settled on this as my newest attempt. I have a rather infuriating combination of skin on my face. I get large, deep bumps that tend not to come to a head on my chin (but only one or two here and there) and forehead (randomly), while also having smaller, reddish or white heads on my forehead. I have blackheads on my nose, and then recently have started waking up to small white bumps on either side of my nose. The bumps on my cheeks just beside my nose is also accompanied by a redness a lot of the time to that area of the skin. I have ruled out rosacea with my doctor. My skin is also relatively sensitive to moisturizers, and often to exfoliating scrubs, which can be annoying since my forehead also gets dry and sometimes flaky. So there's what I was dealing with.I bought the D:tox Purifying Facial Cleanser, the Purifying Facial Scrub, the System Replenishing Facial Moisturizer, and the Purifying Facial Mask. I have now been using the system for just over three weeks, and here is what I think:Cleanser: I absolutely love it. It's not overly scented, though it does smell pleasant, it's mostly a clean smell. It's a thick liquid, but not too thick. I note that it doesn't stick to the bottle too much, and doesn't leave any sort of residue on it as I deplete the bottle, which I think is noteworthy. The empty plastic at the top of the bottle is crystal clear. It doesn't foam a lot, but it doesn't need to. After washing my face with this (I was twice daily, in the morning and at night) my skin feels calm, the redness is reduced visibly, and my skin doesn't get inflamed. I really love using this wash. I really love that there are no harsh chemicals like salicylic acid and it still is clearing up my acne without attacking the other parts of my skin. I think this cleanser, while solving my acne problems, would also be a wonderful daily wash for folks that do not have acne. It's clean and fresh and gentle.Scrub: For the first 2.5 weeks, I used this every time I washed my face. I am actually quite impressed with it. This isn't like some products that have the visible microbeads, it's almost like a fine, smooth sand is mixed in with an opaque cream. It doesn't really have much of a scent to it. Like the cleanser, it smells clean. I mentioned my skin has issues with scrubs sometimes. In past attempts at using other skin care systems, I will often reduce the number of times I use a scrub even more significantly than they will suggest, because it will irritate my skin if used to frequently. I don't like removing scrubs entirely, however, because the exfoliation leaves my skin looking brighter, and pulls that dead skin that causes grossness from certain areas. This scrub is so gentle. I very gently scrub in circular motions all over my face and the results are obvious. My skin feels softer, and I have no more flaking at all ever! This is also the work of the moisturizer, but I'll get to that in a moment. I have in the last week, started to experiment with only using this every other day, and will update my review after I've done this for a bit longer.Moisturizer: I have to tell you, regardless of the system, I have gone through so. many. moisturizers. I have tried vegan ones, unscented ones, oil free ones, combo skin, and on and one. I struggle most with this because of the range of need on my face. My forehead is oily, but the skin also gets dry and flaky sometimes. My nose is constantly oily, and my cheeks and chin tend to be pretty normal. I've used moisturizer combinations on different parts of my face and just nothing has ever been quite as great as this stuff. I mean, I'm in love with the moisturizer. I use a good almost nickel sized bit and rub it in my hands and all over my face and neck. It was off-putting to me at first, because it seemed a tad on the greasy side when I got it applied, however, after thoroughly massaging it in, after a few minutes it absorbs and doesn't feel heavy at all. It's creamy and luxurious and the difference it has made to evening my skin has been completely awesome. I no longer get dry flakiness, and my nose is getting the proper level of moisture so it's not overly producing oil anymore. I cannot say enough good things about this stuff!Mask: I use the mask 2-3 times per week. I apply a thin layer all over my face while dry and then leave it for 20 minutes while I fold clothes and watch Netflix. I usually use it after the scrub, but before moisturizing. It drys completely but doesn't flake off. It's a thick cream and, like the other products, is lightly scented but only to smell clean and earthy. After rinsing, my skin feels like it's had oil and impurities sucked out of it, without overly drying out my face. It's especially satisfying to apply the moisturizer after the mask.Summary: This is an excellent system for mild to moderate acne, but my opinion is that this is also a great product for those looking for a cleaning system or product without acne. Depending on your needs, just parts of the system will work for you. It's a great product for sensitive skin, and incredibly affordable compared to other systems. I recommend this highly!

I love love love this soap. I have challenging skin at times. In the past i fought with eczema, hyperpigmentation, oiliness and dryness. This is my go to product.Leaves my skin feeling clean and cared for.I also highly recommed the facial clensing towelettes also made by Giovanni. Found here :https://www.amazon.com/Giovanni-System-Facial-Cleansing-Towelettes/dp/B009LEPED4. They are amazing for travel. I usually let them sit on my face to soak up all their goodness before gently pressing them in and wiping off whatever leftover makeup and city grime my face has picked up. A purchase here supports breast cancer it also helps that their products contain NO PARABENS or synthetic fragrance. I've worked in high end retail cosmetics for about 6 years and I love to use it on private clients for the super clean luxuriously fresh way it makes the skin feel.

I have used this cleanser for several years now. It is hands down the best cleanser I have ever tried and I have tried a lot! I have combination skin that is prone to break out and have found that this helps tremendously. The smell is a little different, but it doesn't bother me. My skin has been much clearer since I started using this and I have recommended it to many friends with breakout issues. I love all Giovanni products, but this one is my favorite!

I've always had problems with acne and dry face for as long as I can remember. I decided one day that I needed to try a new (But still affordable) face wash that would work well for my icky combo skin. While looking at Murad products, this item came up in my suggested items so I gave it a look. The reviews all talked about how wonderful it is, and how fast it cleared their skin. So, since it was affordable, I gave this bad boy a go.It arrived to me nice and fast, and I was pumped to try it out. The face wash itself is a medium grey color, and smells kind of fruity. The bottle is easy to hold and open, even when your hands are slippery from soap. Since it's gentle and smells good, I started using this face wash religiously every day hoping to clear my face up. Although it didn't work as fast as it worked for others, it most definitely worked some magic on me! It cleared up my acne in a couple of weeks, and I noticed that it was making the rest of my skin look amazing and soft. I would definitely suggest this to anyone looking to clear their face up. I know there's more products on this line to use to clear up skin, and since I loved this so much, I'm about to buy the rest of the products too!!

Before this product line I was using Mychelle face wash; amazingly enough I had this Giovanni body wash and started using it for my face. Switching from Mychelle to this product cleared my skin up a lot. The charcole/clay is what I believe does it. Pulling all the toxins out and not stripping my skin of moisture. My regimen is this product, Mychelle face mist and good Coconut oil for a moisturizer. I have been able to keep the harsh winter drying red patches on my face to the bare minimum. I would highly recommend this product!

honestly i have acne prone, sensitive, dry skin. it is pretty much impossible to find something that works for me. I have cystic acne, regular acne, whatever my skin decides to doom me with on any given day. I did not realize how much this product was helping my acne until I ran out of it and stopped using it. I bought it at TJ Maxx and when I ran out I started breaking out really bad. The only thing that changed was that i was no longer using this cleanser and so I ordered off of Amazon. my skin kind of went back to normal after using it again, and it honestly removes my makeup pretty well which is definitely a bonus. it is pretty fire, do recommend. i double cleanse, i start off with this cleanser and then follow up with regular acnefree from the drugstore.

I started using this since 2016 when I found it on sale at a Winners, up until then I used Aveeno's oatmeal cleansing bar which was okay but still caused my chin and jawline to break out a lotI really love the charcoal and volcanic ash! it really helps gently cleanse and exfoliate my skin without over-drying it! I didn't have any adverse reactions to it, and I am prone to eczema and dryness.I love the smell it's so natural without artificial fragrance!!! love the natural ingredients in this product and when I ran out I bought more from Amazon :)don't be fooled by the small size btw, a little goes a long way with many Giovanni products, I use just the size of my middle fingertip twice a day and it lasts me no less than 3 months, the first bottle I used lasted me 5 months!!!Definitely my HG facial cleanser for life!!! hope they never discontinue

Iam writing this review after using this cleanser for about a month. I was 30 weeks pregnant when I purchased it after a lot research as my skin had become so dull and patchy ! When I first washed my face my skin felt so light and glowing. I was so happy to feel my skin again. Now it’s been a month since Iam using it and still feel fresh every time I wash my face ! I would definitely recommend this cleanser ❤️P.S: I have normal to oily skin and this cleanser levels my skin really well.

Love Goivanni products. Have been using them for years and will continue to do so !

I first found this product in Marshall's and loved it! I was so happy that Amazon carried it. My skin is very sensitive to products that have perfume and leaves the skin with a tight feeling.This cleanser is very gentle and cleanses the face so well and does not leave the skin feeling tight. It's Amazing!! I will continue to use it.

Great all natural face cleanser. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed without the drying effect of other "acne" type cleansers. I even use the travel sizes to take to work if needed. Love the fact that it has charcoal in it and I can see the results as my skin is less oily over time, has less spots, and less irritability.
