All in all I although it was nice enough, but I will not be purchasing this for regular use. By Alexandra Black

Refreshing, non-drying, Pick-me-up cleanser!Sulfate-Free Foaming Clarifying Cleanser by Tata Harper 41. fl. oz | 125 ml - $76.00 What it is: A foaming gel cleanser that targets impurities and balances oil for clear, comfortably matte skin. Best for: Oily, blemish prone skin and combination skin types. What they say: Tata Harper Clarifying Cleanser targets impurities to give you a deep-clean feel and comfortably matte finish without drying out your skin. This facial cleanser has been formulated to target blemish-causing impurities and works to balance oil with natural salicylic acid and AHAs. Prickly Pear Flower Enzymes provide gentle enzymatic exfoliation to help clear away buildup without irritation or over-drying. Wild Crafted Juniper Fruit helps to balance without disrupting. Tata Harper's Clarifying Cleanser foams because of nature, not synthetics. They don’t use sulfates, but they use Cassava Tapioca and Wild Harvested Mojave Yucca instead. This is sulfate-free, worry-free foaming cleanser that will leave you skin feeling so refreshed. MY THOUGHTS: REVIEW 1: This is a gorgeous smelling cleanser that is super minty and leaves your skin tingly and awake after use. I don't use it in the morning because I like to cleanse my eyes in the morning and this stings too much, so for me it's more of an end of day, reviving and refreshing my congested or polluted complexion. It also contains AHA which like some of T.H.'s other products, I am afraid to use during the day, as I like my skin to have at least 10 mins of unobstructed sun exposure for a good dose of Vitamin D. However, if you wear sunscreen or don't go out into the sun at all, this would be a perfect morning cleanser, as it will awaken your skin and senses with it's gorgeous minty power! I haven't used it for long enough to say how a breakout would respond to this, but I will keep you posted once I have more concrete evidence. I do know my skin feels clean but not dry or pulled by the product at all. UPDATED REVIEW: For those with Sensitive Skin like moi, I do not recommend using this as well as Tata Harper's Regenerating Exfoliating Cleanser. I got a little over zealous with my cleansing process, I get a little aggressive and I forget how sensitive my skin is. So I was using both cleansers after a workout, and I ended up aggravating my skin substantially. I not only had a bunch of tiny breakouts, I also had a lot of dry skin, and scarring from picking. It was a disaster. So note to you and me, don't use these two cleansers together (not that you would! Only I would do such a thing) and make sure you don't use them too frequently either. SECOND UPDATE: After using this for a few months, and now entering the WINTER months, I have come to notice it dries my skin out so much, it is causing multiple tiny bumpy breakouts all over my face. I'm not entirely sure what is causing this, but I have to stop using it, as it is causing more damage than good! By Alexandra Black I went through the whole pot |
