Retinol Exfoliating Cleanser, 8 Ounce

Just purchased this product after my esthetician recommended getting a cleanser that contained retinol. I’ve only used this a couple times and can already see pore tightening, mild brightening of the tome and a slightly smoother texture to my face. Already using the Obagi Nu Derm line for more serious issues but alternating with this cleanser should help speed things up in the way of improvement. It’s a somewhat thin consistency but does well if using your hands or even with a Clarisonic face brush. The smell is nice and fresh. The exfoliation beads feel great and aren’t too abrasive. I haven’t experienced a drying effect but I have pretty oily skin so I may be less apt to notice that. It seems a little goes a long way so I think this size bottle is fantastic for the price. I’ve read other reviews stating it didn’t work for them and I agree it may be hit and miss depending on your skin type but overall I think it can’t hurt to try it.

I've been familiar with this line for many many years and I believe the manufacturer, Ermis labs, is no longer in business. This packaging is from several years ago. I'm not confident what's being sold is still within it's "use by" dates. Just a heads up to fellow buyers. Provided is it indeed still effective, it is a fantastic product...but knowing it could be several years old even though I bought it two days ago is sketchy. No expiration date but does have a lot number - Ermis Labs doesn't seem to exist anymore for me to verify the bottling dates.

My boyfriend and I have been using this for all sorts of yuckyness- cystic acne, blackheads, whiteheads, acne scars, razor bumps, ect. and it works fantastically! smells great too. It has a gritty texture, but still foams like soap. It really helps to clear up and sooth my skin.

This is the best acne wash I have ever used. I have tried everything, and this works better than anything else (Proactive, Neutrogena, etc). The retinol works great for my skin, and I feel really clean after I wash my face, and not dried out. Most other products have benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid as the effective ingredient. I have much less acne and cystic acne breakouts using this face wash. It's also a great value- it lasts a long time. I use it together with my Clarisonic face brush for an even deeper clean. Highly recommend.

I just received this face wash today so I have already used it twice. I know it's technically too early to write a review but I already notice a difference. My face hasn't been oily today and the redness in my blemishes have gone down tremendously !! Super happy so far and it's not drying my face out either!!

I have adult acne at 53. I’ve used script Retinoids, tried just about everything known to man. I read the reviews and decided that I would give it a try. I’ve been using Coral Actives for less than a week and Hallelujah!!! My redness,blackheads and whiteheads are almost all gone. My face is smoother, less shiny and very clean! As, with everything, what has finally worked for me, may not work for others. Give it a try, whatcha got to lose!!

I did not notice a difference in my face after using this for a long period of time however my cousin it helped clear her face up a lot so I think it all depends on the person

I would like to start off by saying I have horrible acne prone skin. Using Coral Actives has improved my skin dramatically. However, it did dry out my skin significantly. I saw that as a good sign because I'd rather my skin be dry and clear than oily refreshed and blemished. Also, if you have a trusty moisturizer, it is no big deal. If you don't, this might not be the product for you.
