At first i was hesitant to use this because i'm really acne prone but I got really curious and tried using this anyway. I've been using this for weeks already and so far this is only the facial wash that worked for me. Prior to using this product i was using commercial brand papaya soap and it dried out my skin and i didn't like it even it helped with my acne. This helped fight acne but not totally eradicate the problem but it gave me that minty feeling after I wash my face and i love it! so refreshing!

It was such an amazing product! Before I was using a regular facial wash but my problem areas in my nose area such as blackheads and whiteheads are still there. Then I give this product a try using the smallest bottle and just after my first use I say to my self, whiteheads and blackheads are removed, it makes my oil free, supple, fresh and smooth. The fragrance of this product is very relaxing, reminds me of a spa. I will absolutely buy the biggest bottle of this one and I will highly recommend this product to my friends especially those with problems like mine! :) please continue to manufacture this product forever! I am a frugal type of person and was a fan of cruelty free and organic products... I would like to rate this product more than 5 stars!

I love this and the toner as well!! For a more in-depth review, please visit my blog. http://erikaaliceblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/balancing-facial-care-review-hhn.html

I've been using it for almost 3 months and everyone notice that there is something different about me.They really notice the glow on my skin. Actuallly I had breakouts during the first two days but still i continued to use it and so far I'm very happy for the good result.. everyones asking whats my secret haha. thanks human nature.. I hope it will have a branch at San Ildefonso Bulacan.Anyway thanks for my friend Kayen, She's the one who recommend this product..I also tried Hydrating facial wash and its really good too.

I don't really go out of my way to review skin care products but this one of those things that I feel so strongly about. I really love this facial wash. It calms down my breakouts although I had a few pimples on the first week I used this. It's refreshing. That orange scent really does it for me every single time. It's economical. I've tried fancy schmancy cleansers that broke my wallet. This cleanser does the job (and more) at a fraction of the price. It's chemical-free. Always a good thing. However, please consider making this without the bamboo scrubs. There are times when all we need is a gentle cleanse and unfortunately, the scrubs can be a bit harsh. Yes, even on oily skin. I'm not above begging you for this. Please, please.

Bought this product at landmark. The product is actually good at first especially the beads but I started breaking out. I'm not sure if it's because it's that time of the month or the wash or a combination of both, I'll observe some more days before I'll give up using this product. [Editor's Note: Hi, Alyanna. We're so sorry to hear about your experience. All our products are 100% harmful chemical-free, so it’s likely that it’s not our facial wash which is to blame. But our customer service team will contact you to gather more details just to be sure :)]

I am a proud HHN dealer and i superly love your products! However, i got breakouts when i used this product :( despite of this, i still want to try your balancing toner but im afraid that i'll get pimples again. I've tried your moringa line but i love the feel of this product except for the breakouts which are centered only on my forehead. Pls advise. Thanks and more power!! [Editor’s Note: Thank you for reviewing this product, Yhey! This product is suitable to people with normal or oily skin. It could be that your skin does not fall under this type. We recommend that you use the one that is suitable for your particular skin type. You may want to try our NEW 100% Natural Purifying Facial Scrub as it has the same feel as this one and it is suitable for all skin types. You may use it two to three times a week and it will surely make your skin glow! As with all our products, if you’re not completely happy, please feel free to return it for a full credit. :)]

I recently visited Philippines and my aunt noticed that my skin had gotten really bad with acne, I've had it for years and I was really reluctant to use a new product. It has almost been a week since I've used it and I don't have a billion breakouts anymore! Believe me, I've been loyal to my expensive facial washes but I didn't care anymore because this product actually worked! Luckily, my aunt gave me two bottles but I live in Canada and I don't know how I'm going to get HN products from here. I'm just so surprised this product works but I'll really have to salvage it carefully or else I'll finish it all. To anybody who was as reluctant as me, don't be! Try something new because you never know the outcome of it!

My fiance is using this product for quite awhile now and it is really effective on his face (he has oily face). Since I noticed that it is good, I ordered one for myself. Unfortunately, 1-2days after I used it, I got breakouts! I thought it was just normal since I shifted from chemical-laden product to a natural one but I was wrong, every time I use this facial wash, new pimple will come out to my face and it is not good so I had to stop it. Now I have 4 big pimples on my face and a lot of pimple marks on my forehead. I hate it. :( [Editor’s note: Thank you for reviewing this product, Regina. We are sorry to hear about your experience. Your skin may still be adjusting to our product, since you mentioned that you shifted from a chemical-laden product and it can take up to 10 days for skin to adjust. But it could also be that your skin type is not really oily. If not, you may be better off with the Hydrating Facial Wash. As with all products, it’s highly recommended to get the one that’s right for your particular skin. We will happily replace this for you free of charge with the Hydrating Facial Wash so you can give that a try. Our customer service team will get in touch with you.]

I used this 3-4 times a week interchangeably with the aloe & guava facial wash. Luckily after just a week of trying no more oily T-zone for me! I've tried a lot of products but I got best results with this one and no irritation. I'm also using the balancing toner and my skin is loving the cooling effect that comes with it. I'm now on my third week of using this product and I haven't had any pimple since then.

I read some reviews about this product now and some said they get breakouts when using HHN Balancing Toner... I also get a pimple (as in one only) and sometimes i get red spots in any part of my face everytime i try a new product. But it only lasts a day or two. After that, I get good results. Could it be that it's just my skin's first reaction to it but then gets used to it after the first contact? Personally I love this product, actually all of HHN's products! Pro-Filipino! [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hello Conchita! Thank you for your feedback! Each of us reacts differently to certain products! Initial breakouts may be normal when trying out a new regimen specially when you're switching from a chemical-laden product to a natural one. We just have to be patient to see the results after a few days or weeks of use. :) ]

This product works for me very well. I love the feel when I rub this on my face. And my face looks and feels clean after using it.

I was skeptical about the "leafy thingys" on this item, but then one use and i was sold! i love the scent, the subtle minty feel and the fact that there's loofah/bamboo to help get rid of the dead skin cells.0

I am allergic to a lot of Facial wash products available in the market. Only Cetaphil works for me. I was actually hesitant to try this coz it had bamboo scrubs. After days of thinking, I finally tried it and surprisingly, I didn't get pimples! Been using it for 2 weeks now and so far, I am satisfied with the product. :-)

I have an oily-acne prone skin, so I use to buy those expensive facial wash and toners, and go to the skin salons for a regular facial and treatment. So far only one of those expensive products worked for me which is the one with tea tree, not until I found this. I love how my face feels after washing and I rarely see blemishes and acne on my face. I don't even anymore have to spend too much for the facial treatments. I just hope that you could formulate it with tea tree...please... ;) [EDITORS NOTE: Thank you very much for your feedback. We are happy that you love our products. :) We shall keep in mind your suggestion in coming up with products with tea tree as an active ingredient. :) ]

I have never used any facial cleanser for over a year now and only use plain water for cleansing my face followed by a facial toner. I've tried this product (2 weeks now) and I have got 3 large pimples now. I'm using this together with the balancing toner as well. Not satisfied with this at this point. I'll probably try another one... :( [EDITOR's NOTE - sorry to hear about your experience Cindy! Although our Balancing Facial Wash has been clinically tested, there is always a possibility that a few people may not get on with it. But if it took two weeks for the pimples to appear, it's almost certainly not the Facial Wash which is to blame. If you're allergic to something, you would normally get a reaction in the first day or two. But as with all our products, if not satisfied, we will happily refund or replace it with something else though :) We'll be in touch to offer you a replacement.]

nicks oil without stripping oil keeps my face mattified love the bamboo shred scrubby things great mild minty scent

Been using this for more than 6 months now--was initially skeptical at first because I have very difficult skin. Oily and prone to breakouts but also very sensitive and reacts quickly to hormone changes. I really really like this formulation, it suits my skin very well. The gentle scrubs are just right for my skin type. Prior to using this, I was using an expensive dermatologist-prescribed brand, which was the only facial wash that worked on my skin--until this one.

I love the texture of the scrubs on my face as it wash away daily dirt and oil. My skin looks fresher and cleaner after every use of the wash. This is for keeps. ^_^

please see my detailed review here: http://barprov.blogspot.com/2011/05/human-natures-orange-and-elemi-facial.html

I bought this product coz I have oily skin.. Now, I'm shine-free and I'm loving it. The scent and texture is nice.. But now, I have 2 pimples, I'll observe some more days before i'll give up using this product.. I hope I can try the tomato lemongrass but my dealer said it's phased out... But still love Human Nature for these organic products.. [EDITOR'S NOTE: Hi Jenny! Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you had a few pimples using the Balancing Facial Wash. As with many other personal care products, some people can still get adverse reactions even with the most natural ingredients. Yes, please do observe for some more days and please let us know soon so we can investigate. You may however return the product to us and we'll be more than happy to give you a refund. :) ]

This product gave me pimples. I had to stop using it because it just started growing around my cheeks and forehead. :( [EDITOR'S NOTE - sorry to hear about your experience Enna! Even though this has been clinically tested, there is always a small risk that a few people may not get on well with it. But as with all Human Nature products, we will be happy to provide a refund or exchange for something else.]

Just after a week of using this product, my face becomes smoother. It gets rid of the all the grime and oil but it doesn't dry out the skin.. And I love the tingling coolness it leaves on my skin after every use. Great product!

Love this product! I dropped by sesou to restock on another HN product when I saw these! And because I also wanted to buy a new facial wash, having run out of my usual commercial facial wash (which was the only other toiletry product I don't buy na at the supermarket, since switching to HN), I decided to give it a try. Love the smell, the way my face feels smooth with just the right amount of tightness, after every wash. Keep on making new products like these!!!

I had pimples after using this product for a week. Thinking that it was just my skin's initial reaction, I still use this with the balancing facial toner. I've been using this product for a month now and there's no improvement yet on my skin. A friend of mine introduced this to replace the tomato and lemongrass facial wash (which I love) that Ive been using. I can say that the tomato wash suits my skin better.

I love everything about this product- the smell, the beads which can be used on a daily basis, the way it leaves my skin super clean, refreshed, soft and soft. However, I only use this product alternately with Tomato and Lemongrass which I also find equally good when it comes to making my skin soft and supple. Is it just okay to use different kind of products on my face for as long as it's organic?

I love this product! But the downside here is the beads. I just don't want to scrub my face with beads 2 times a day = 14 times a week. It would just irritate the face if you keep scrubbing it. Hope you would also produce this facial wash without beads.

love this product... smells very good, gentle on my face, i even recommended it to a friend who has a very sensitive skin.. so far, so good. I have also discovered another use for this product. During bath, after all the body soaping and rinsing, i use small amount of this product as "armpit scrub". Since it has an antibacterial ingredient, i don't use deodorant anymore.. try it!!!

I used this twice already and I think it's great. It left my oily skin feeling clean and smooth. What I don't like about it is the beads/exfoliators. Don't get me wrong, they're small and mild for everyday use, I'm just not a big fan of them. I wish HHN will make a facial wash for oily skin that doesn't have any beads in it.

fell in love with it after the first use... your products just keep getting better! i love how it gives you a cool and fresh feeling after washing your face... the bamboo beads and luffa are just so amazing.. gets rid of the dirt real good... by the way.. BB creams are becoming really popular..can HHN make one of its own too? =) Editor's Note: Hello Monica! Thank you for your feedback. We've been getting a lot of requests to formulate a BB Cream. We'll try our best to make an all natural alternative BB Cream this year.

I love how smooth my skin feels after using this product, and I love even more how it stays that way HOURS later! I never felt that with any other facial wash (and believe me, I've tried a lot.) Maybe because of the surfactant used, it doesn't lather as much as I'm used to. Maybe this part of the formulation needs tweaking... just a suggestion. :)

So far so good. I've recently decided to go organic for 2011 and started looking around for good organic alternatives for my usual beauty regimen (without sacrificing quality, of course). I bought this wash to replace my usual drugstore brand to clean my face from the day's accumulation of dirt (plus I have oily spots on my T-zone and chin). I've only been using this for less than a week, and have not tested it on a full day outside, so I cannot say yet if the oiliness has ceased, but so far after using it at I have yet woken up to an oily face. So far no breakouts also, so that's a plus. I am also loving the wonderful packaging with gold accents and (with child-like glee) love swirling the bottle around to see the green bits dancing about. Heheh. All in all a good product.

What I like: minty smell; bamboo scrubs which are gentle enough for everyday use; acne-fighting properties of elemi oil. What I was wondering about: Why not call it Pili Nut Oil instead of Elemi, at least for the local market, because more people in the Philippines know what a Pili is, rather than Elemi? (More people here will know that Pili is endemic to the country and is hard to find elsewhere in the world.) What I'd like to request: 100ml bottles? and, if possible, a stronger formulation? my skin is very oily, and this helps, but the effects don't last for the whole day.
