Dr. Bronner'sPure-Castile Liquid Soap - Tea Tree 32oz.

Been using this for a few days now. I like that you can use it everywhere, hair, face, body etc. Usually, I use 3-4 different products. This does have a smell that is intense for me but I'm hoping it has skin clearing benefits. I will update review later.

First, let me explain. I love this soap. I use it for EVERYTHING; laundry, dishes, body, hair, face, cats, dogs, babies, etc. The list can include almost anything you throw at this amazing stuff. This is magic.Now, the story of how I came to Dr. Bronners lover: My boyfriend (now husband) first introduced me to this soap and I was skeptical. I never trust body washes to really clean my skin, I feel like they leave a chemical residue on my skin and don't remove any of the actual "dirt" or body oils. Besides, liquid soaps creep me out somehow, I know that sounds crazy, but I grew up using bar soaps to wash my body and face, shampoo and conditioner for my hair. This idea of all-in-one soap wasI gave this soap a try in the shower, giving the bottle a squeeze. My hand overflowed. Maybe I cursed. This is why I hate liquid soaps, I thought. Then I lathered the soap in my hands and it was like MAGIC. I lathered it in my hair, which is long, and it quickly frothed to a frenzy. I had tons more of this soap, so I washed my face and body, then washed the bathtub while I was at it. Soon everything was sparkling clean and the tea tree aroma reminds me of camping. I felt relaxed. Tea tree helps prevent bacterias from growing, helps acne problems, helps with poison oak and poison ivy, etc.This is wonderful, amazing stuff. When I got poison oak, all over, I washed with tea tree soap, then rubbed tea tree on the affected parts. The rash healed up very fast and the tea tree oil helped prevent any itching. I have also used it around MRSA and it really helps with that, especially when cleaning clothing, bedding, etc. Same goes with fleas and ticks. They hate the stuff, so I wash my dog's collars and leash with this soap, wash the animals with it and it helps prevent them from getting bitten, some. We live in tick country, so nothing, no medication, etc really works to prevent ticks, but if I washed my dog daily with this soap, he smelled of it and the ticks stayed away.Tea tree is a strong scent, so I also have unscented and the lavender scent. I love those as well. The tea tree scent is my favorite though, for all of the above reasons. I cannot say enough wonderful things about it. I try to use natural products, organic products, etc as much as possible and why use anything else BUT this soap for anything, really? I have huge bottles of this everywhere in my house. It works as an all-purpose cleaner too!Ok, did you buy it yet?

The title says 32oz when in fact it's less. So when you search it comes up as full size. This is misleading.

This stuff is awesome! I have cystic acne and have since I was 11(28 now). I do a lot of things to keep my skin clear; light therapy, a clarisonic, watch what I eat, sterilize my phone regularly etc... I generally don't believe in buying expensive things that are just going to run out, I prefer to buy tools that are expensive, and keep the replenish-able stuff cheap(I refuse to pay 30$ for a soap that is just going to run out in a month, and is barely working anyway. I have had the best luck with cheap soaps). It has been working, or at least I thought it was working... I was so wrong. So very very wrong..... I thought my skin was under control until I tried this, and I haven't worn makeup/foundation in months because my skin is so clear.I use this exclusively on my face, and here is how I do it/mix it.-I bought these bottles which are awesome by the way. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000UQKGOY/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_119-I put about a half an inch of this soap on the bottom.-I fill the rest with filtered water.-DO NOT SHAKE. Swirl it gently. If you make bubbles in the bottle you are doing it too vigorously.-Done. I squirt one pump on my hand and rub it on my face, then one pump on my scrub brush and wash my face as normal. Then moisturize with a little coconut oil after I get out of the showerOne mix lasted me over 8 months. That is crazy. This bottle is going to last over 10 years if I continue like this. I'll have to start using it on other things just to use it up!Trouble shooting: Your answer is probably to dilute more.-Your skin is too dry.= Dilute with more water, and rinse immediately. This is very concentrated. Even diluted, if you leave it on your skin for a minute, it will start to tingle(it doesn't burn, and I have sensitive skin. It tingles or maybe prickles would be a good word).-It smells.= Well... yeah. Sniff some real tea-tree oil, and you will see this is not that bad. I don't even smell it anymore, but my hubby jokes that it is tear gas. This is not that bad of a tea-tree oil smell. Eventually you will associate this smell with clean, and it doesn't last or linger after you rinse. A lot of people compared this to Pine-Sol, which I think is totally inaccurate. Pine-Sol smells like PINE. This does not smell like pine. It smells more medicinal and herb like. And honestly, for clear skin, I would tolerate just about any smell. I think the peppermint smells more strongly than this does.-It is oily.= I honestly have no idea how you are doing that. This soap, and all the Dr Bronners I have, will strip oils. Like squeaky clean. I would try remixing it following my directions above. I think you have a weird ratio of soap to water. Mine is 1 soap to 10 water(if not more water).This is fabulous stuff and if I EVER run out I will buy more.

Did not perform as I exspected.
