Review: Acure Organics

Well, I took the plunge and ordered the products, even though they offered no samples.  And I must say, I am impressed.  I like the subtle, herbal smell of each of the items...and I like the way they work.  The tiny little 4 oz. bottle for $15 sort of freaked me out, but, now that I've used it, I realize that you really need just a pea-sized amount.  Same with the lotions (one squirt is all you need).

I ordered the oily/combo skin package.  I have truly combination skin (oily t-zone that still produces dry skin...weird).  These products do not dry me out.  If I don't use the lotion, though, it sort of does a bit.  So, I would not suggest these products for anyone with dry skin issues.  Oily skin?  Absolutely.  Combo skin?  Most likely.  I think you could even do without the toner, if you really wanted.  I personally like to use toners...but I think that comes from using cleansers that don't really "cleanse".  For me, the toner has always been a 2nd step in the cleaning process.  With this facial cleanser, I notice absolutely no residue on my cotton ball after using the toner, which means the cleanser is actually doing it's job (go figure!).

Ultimately, I give these products a 9 out of 10.  They work well.  The company has a great philosophy (see my original post)...fair trade, cruelty-free, supports a cause...etc., etc., etc.  Below, I have listed the ingredients of each of the products I tried, highlighting in bold the ingredients that some may find questionable and in need of further research.
