3.0 out of 5 starsImproved my skin significantly, but has not cleared it completely.

UPDATE: It's been about a month longer than my first review, and I've decided to come back and update since acne wash isn't really something you can review once in the early stages and never come back to. Like I said before, the was works very slowly (again I only used the face wash) and after a few weeks it seems to sort of just stopped getting rid of the acne, and is just keeping my face toned down in any redness and big serious pimples. It definitely did not get rid of my acne, but it helped. Most washes seem to just help and then stop, and this seems to be one of them :/
PREVIOUS REVIEW:
I don't have much to complain about with the Exposed Facial Cleanser. It's mostly natural, has softened my skin, reduced redness, reduced acne, fragrance free (there's a little smell to it, but it's not an artificial smell, just the smell of the wash itself), and overall a good face wash.
Do I think it's worth $15 plus $5 shipping? No. But it has improved my skin. I started using it a few weeks ago, maybe about 3? A month? Nothing more than that, and I started its use during a bad wave of deep, under the skin pimples that are in general a pain to get rid of, no matter what you use.
It has taken a few weeks to take effect, and to be fair, I have ONLY been using this face wash and NOT the whole kit (I can't afford the $50+ price for it!) So maybe that is a factor to why it's been such a slow process, and why it hasn't cleared my skin completely.
My only issues are, other than the price, that it seems to work very slowly (as I still have the acne I've been trying to get rid of, but again it's not just a regular zit, very deep under my skin), and I'll admit I sort of "cheated" on it by using my previous foaming Biore face wash to give it a bit of a boost, which really seemed to help actually. After that it was smooth sailing. Lastly, it did dry out the corners of my mouth, but was solved with some extra moisturizer.
Overall, I am happy with this face wash, but I don't know if I will be able to use it regularly because it's so expensive. $20 isn't much, but it's only 4 ounces (I could have sworn that before I ordered it, it said it was 6 ounces!)
My skin wasn't too bad before so hopefully I won't have to use this on a regular basis to keep my skin clearer, and adjusting my diet and some extra moisturizer will help!
