Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: I'm not usually a sucker for sales pitches.... Comment: But when I was at the Fresh store and the saleswoman had me sample this product, I was thrilled. I don't usually spend tons of money on products, but she assured me that the tube goes a very long way, and that you only need a small amount on your fingertips. I was inspired to buy a tube for myself and a tube for my cousin as a birthday gift. When she used it the first time, she called me (at midnight) to tell me that she felt like she had just washed her face "in silk." It really is quite great. Other things you should know - it smells a lot like cucumber, and this product does not create a lather.
Other Fresh prodcuts I've tried and love so far:
Sugar Lip Balm - this is really good and long-lasting and smells good enough to eat...but please don't.
Sake Hair Cream - okay all you frizzy heads out there, this stuff works really well (I don't know if you should use a cream if your hair is fine. I have super-thick hair - the kind that stops hairdressers in their tracks when I sit in the chair). Moreover, it smells amazing. It's pricey, but the tube goes a long way. Customer Rating: Summary: Only works for sensitive/dry skin Comment: I have combination skin and used this product only about 3 days before my oilier areas completely broke out. I've noticed all the rave reviews are from people will sensitive or dry skin. On my drier areas the cleanser worked great- but this is not a good cleanser for normal, oily, or combination skin.
(Tangent: I recommend PeterThomasRoth Combination Skin Cleansing Gel for anyone with combination skin. I've never found anything that strikes such a great balance.) Customer Rating: Summary: Your skin will love you for using this Comment: I have been using the lip balm for a while and came across a Fresh store ... I went in to kill some time and came out with products that have made me like my skin again! I have sensitive skin and I'm prone to rashes and bumps - not with this product. My skin looks and feels more hydrated, soft, smooth and very even. No more worry about dry patches and discoloration.
The best part is that with this cleanser you don't have to mess around with makeup remover - the cleanser does it all. Now, that's what I'm talking about! Customer Rating: Summary: The best face cleanser I've found Comment: My skin is very sensitive and my face breaks out in little bumps if I use anything that leaves a residue. I've used Cetaphil soap for years but it doesn't get all of my eye makeup off. I bought this on impulse and it's the best face cleanser I've ever found. It doesn't dry my skin at all, and removes every speck of makeup. I think the soy also evens out my skin tone. Customer Rating: Summary: A Fabulous, Gentle Facial Cleanser & Toner Combined Comment: Fresh is a company I have been interested in for awhile. I first fell in love with their product line when I used the Brown Sugar Body Polish. I knew this was a product that would become a beauty staple around my house. I have since purchased several other items from Fresh, especially from their skincare, bodycare and fragrance lines. I find that Fresh Soy Formula f21c Face Cleanser is one of their best products. And the price is right, especially given the cost of some of the high quality face cleansers on the market.
This unique face cleansing gel is fabulous. The texture is somewhat unusual. It is a clear gel and feels very slippery when applied. The gel foams, ever-so-slightly, almost like a lotion, and feels great on dry skin. The face cleanser does an excellent job of removing makeup and leaving the skin soft, comfortably clean and glowing. It also tones the skin, revives the eyelid area and conditions the eyelashes in the process. What could be better? And all in one single product!
For the winter months, this is a perfect compromise between the fresh, clean feeling of a gel and the comfortable, soothing feeling of a lotion. It is my normal-to-dry skin's new favorite cleanser. Soy Face Cleanser contains rose extract, cornflower extract, glycerin, mallow extract, chamomile extract, ginseng, aloe, soybean powder, soybean protein, borage seed oil, cucumber extract, vitamin A, vitamin E and gentle cleansing agents.
I cannot recommend Fresh skin and body products enough - and the Fresh Soy Formula Face Cleanser is a winner!
