Fresh Farmacy Cleanser by LUSH

Fresh Farmacy Cleanser by LUSH is one of my favorite cleansers out of all of them out there.

I received a very generous sample of this cleanser recommended by the friendly Lush girls while I was out of town. I like this store because it is very interactive, the girls are not all judgmental as they examine your skin, this place is very lively and the staff is amazingly helpful. I tried this when I got home and I fell in love with it instantly. My skin soaked up the calamine ingredient with radiant clearness. I was really happy with it. Until, about day 4, I saw that it dried out my skin a lot and that it seems my pores were a bit clogged. So I went to the LUSH store and bought a face lotion and tea tree toner, more about that later. I like this product because it is organic and very easily to be refunded even after 1 week of use. They take it back and make you fill out a questionnaire form of the reasons for the return. Your feedback as a consumer is very much acknowledged at LUSH, which is about the first I have ever encountered. I asked why the long form I had to fill out and she explained that the corporate office takes it quite seriously and that if they find probable cause they may throw the whole batch away and or they will inspect if any contamination was entered into the product because all the soaps at LUSH are hand made. I was feeling a bit bittersweet by this news because I was wondering if there was contamination or if it was just my skin. This is not the product I returned by the way. I still have the half bars that I continue to use maybe two times a week at night to calm my skin, however everyday use, day and night is not recommended with this product for my skin type. I found it too drying and didn't feel a deep clean with this since my pores seemed a bit clogged. However, I recommend this product to be used maybe twice a week. This soap is about $8 BUCKS! for a 4 ounce bar. You can also ask them to cut it in half or say you want $4 worth and they will weigh out about that much. It is great! However, I do recommend asking them for a sample of this product and see if it works for you or not. Make sure if you do try it to rub the bar into your hands for about 10 seconds until you can see suds on your palms. I say this to make sure that all the little chunks that come out of it is all crushed down into your palms and not scratching the surface of your gentle beautiful skin.
