I first started using MB in college after seeing the drying lotion in Allure over and over again. Now, 5 years later, I haven't looked back. I was a loyal user of the enzyme cleanser, which is super fresh and clean, but for Christmas, MB sent me a gift bag of a few things and this Seaweed cleanser was one of them. From the first day I used it, my skin was so glowly and healthy looking. It's moisturized perfectly without being greasy, and it's super smooth. I have super sensitive skin that breaks out easily, and since starting using MB, breakouts are VERY rare. Thank you MB for saving my face and making my skin beautiful. Seaweed cleanser is amazing, and if you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for??

Love this cleanser!
This cleanses very well, does not dry the skin or leave a greasy film. I get soft, supple, nourished skin with this. Followed with Cucumber Cleansing Lotion, my skin is perfectly cleaned and ready for moisturizer. Another great product.

Moisturizing, but not greasy...
I really enjoy using this cleanser because it smells good - it has a light, fresh, clean scent - and it leaves my skin feeling soft. I have sensitive, combination skin. This cleanser didn't irritate my skin, and it hasn't caused any breakouts after two weeks of use. I highly recommend it!

PERFECTION
I have tried every face cleanser on the market from super cheap to incredibly expensive, and have never been very impressed with any of them. A few weeks ago I gave in and tried The Seaweed cleanser and love it. It makes my skin feel so soft and clean without being dry. I have very sensitive skin and this has been perfect. I LOVE IT

Great for Sensitive Skin
I bought this after looking at the Press section of the website and seeing that someone stated it was good for sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin that breaks out on my chin, and I tried in. In combination with the buffering lotion and drying lotion my skin has cleared up and looks better than it ever has. I ran out of the cleanser and didn't think it would make a difference, assuming the other products were what really cleared up my skin and my skin broke out again. I will stick to using all of my products and always reorder! Thank you Mario Badescu! You saved my skin!

Overall Good Cleanser
I've been using this product for a few months now. I really love the cleanser itself. It works fantastic on my skin. I have combination skin that is prone to breakouts and this cleanser does not dry my skin out. It's a great "winter" cleanser for those who live in cold climates. My only complaint is that I do not like that it does not have a squeeze top. The cleanser can get really messy especially if you use it in the shower. The black seaweed bits get everywhere. It has a very thick consistency so I'm sure this is why it cannot have a squeeze top. Too bad.

Love it!
This is a great cleanser! Love the smell, feel, and results from it! I follow w/the seaweed cleansing lotion and my skin is just perfect! I do have combo skin w/some occasional breakouts. So dealing w/oil spots, dry spots, blemishes, etc....i've tried everything and only Mario's products have worked for me year round!! love this product!

Great stuff!
I read about this in Men's Health and decided to try it out. It feels great and has a nice, natural smell, not perfumed. Doesn't dry out my skin at all.

I agree that it is the best gentle cleanser out there. I use it every morning and my face is smooth and hydrated afterwards. I look forward to using it every morning because it makes my skin feel so nice, and my skin doesn't get all red and irritated afterwards. My favorite cleaner Mario Badescu has yet to offer!

The best clenser! EVER.
If you have ruddy red skin like me, you probably have a hard time finding a clenser that will clense your face thoroughly without causing irritation, dryness. This clenser cleans it so well, but yet your skin feels smoother, softer, and not DRY! It also calms and takes away redness. This clenser id fabulous for people with sensitive skin and slightly oily skin. It works great! Thanks MB!

The Best Cleanser Ever!
I love it! I''''ve been using it off and on since 1999. It removes dirt, pollution and make-up. It''''s the best! I love the little pieces of seaweed that help to exfoliate each day.

Best Cleaning Product
I have been using Mario Badescu for five years now. I am 57 and have pretty much used everything on the market, always looking for something better for my skin.I started with the Make-Up Remover Soap which I liked, but wanted to try more, I have tried Keratoplast Cream Soap and Orange Cleaning Soap, both worked well, but my favorite is the Seaweed Cleansing. It doesn't dry out my skin and cleans well enough to keep little zits away.

Seeing all these reviews posted about Mario Bedescu products, I can't help but let people know my experience. Lisa Winkler of MA hit it right on the money with her review of the Seaweed Soap used in conjunction with the Control Cream. I'm not sure if it's one or the other, or both used together, but this combination will not only salvage your skin from any signs and symptoms of ezcema, it will make your skin feel and look baby soft. It was a year ago I started working out at the gym when my entire face broke out really bad with ezcema. I tried everything, creams and treatments from Walgreens, Nordstorms, Neimans, professional salons raved by celebrities and nothing worked. My eczema actually got worse having tried all these products at once. There were days I would dread washing my hair b/c the minute shampoo got on my face, my cheek and forehead was inflamed. I finally decided to try the Control Cream Nicole Richie was raving about all over the fashion magazines and talk shows. Each day of using it for the first week my skin got better, after that week my eczema was gone. It's been over a month now and I haven't broken out once. I don't know how my skin would look if I stopped using these two products and frankly I don't want to know.

Never looking back!
For all of my life I have suffered from eczema - something not easily hidden on the face. For a little over a year I've been using the Seaweed Cleaning Soap in conjunction with the Control Cream and my skin has never looked better. My dry, splotchy spot have all disppeared. My husband has commented time and time again about how great my skin looks since I began using these two products. There was a time, early on, when I ran out and went back to Cataphil and Aveeno and I immedialty broke out with my splotchiness. Since then I always make sure that I order more Mario before I have a chance to run (why I'm here today). These two products have literally changed my life. I no longer have to deal with the hassle of putting makeup on over dry skin or the embarassment of having to talk to someone face to face knowing that my skin is all dried out. My skin looks great, I feel confident and I owe it all to Mario!

My cleanser
I love this cleanser! I have been using it going on four years and it is the best. Once I ran out and bought a product from the drugstore, never again. My face got irritated, red and blotchy. This works so well on my sensitive skin.

Gentle and Effective
I love this soap. I've only been using it for a few days, but I'm already impressed with the results. This has reduced the redness and blotchiness on my cheeks almost completely, which were irritated by the harsh drugstore salicylic acid I was using. At first I was worried that this gentle soap would not control my oily skin, but it has never looked so good.
The seaweed cleanser makes gently removes dead skin, so my skin feels clean and soft, but never dry or uncomfortable.
I thank MB enough for how much this has helped me already; nothing had ever worked well on my skin, including prescriptions, high-end regimens, drugstore cleansers and everything else.
