    Horribly packed

    CT - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
    The item arrived without a lid and wasn't securely taped, leading to the contents leaking all over the inside of the package. Additionally, the face wash spilled onto a jumpsuit that was packed along with it, causing a significant mess. I'm quite disappointed with the lack of care in packaging and handling.

    Pump always breaks

    3 out of 5 stars
    Raven - 8 months ago
    originally posted on sheamoisture.com
    This has always been my favorite face wash, I’ve been using shea moisture products for over 10 years and it’s absolutely ridiculous and incredibly disappointing that the pump ALWAYS BREAKS. Foaming hand soap pumps don’t break, any other foaming soap or wash I’ve ever used has never broken unless I’ve dropped it. I LOVE this face wash. I’m so tired of the pump getting stuck or completely not working. Imagine using something for YEARS that you have to buy new every few months and every single one you buy breaks no matter how careful you are. I wish you guys would finally do better. Why does everyone else make a successful foaming soap pump but after YEARS of being in business you guys can’t?

    It smelled like someone left a doll in a hot car and the pump was a joke. I don’t know if it works because it was so stinky. Do not recommend.

    Am I the only one who thinks it smells like bleach and toilet bowl cleaner?! The pump doesn’t work- it comes out as a liquid so it’s hard to get onto my face without it spilling everywhere. Does make my skin feel nice tho- that’s the only positive.

    I have used the shea moisture troubled skin bar for years wishing they had a liquid version. AND FINALLY! This is the only face cleanser I will put on my face. I love it. It's clean and works. Only issue is that I go through it pretty quickly which is an issue with any foam cleanser.

    I was fully prepared to write a glowing review when I saw that you all finally replaced the faulty pumps but after the first use I realized nothing had changed except the color of the pump. I'm very disappointed because I actually love the face wash but it seems for some reason you all refuse to upgrade the quality of those pumps.

    Pretty sure that noone at this company cares about the opion of the consumer. I have used this product for over a year. Overall a really good product after using Clinique for several years. So here is my one concern, the quality of the packaging, pumps, etc. need to be improved. Since the labeling has changed to "new and improved", the packaging is "CRAP". The last few bottles I have purchased do not work. I had to keep a previous bottle in order to be able to use my face wash. The bottle a purchased a few days ago doesn't even pump as a foam. I would rather pay extra money for a good product with better packaging than to waste money buying the same product over and over again trying to find one that works. For once listen to your customers instead of your products designers or whoever determines what is best for the people you are selling to.

    I have used this product almost 2 years now and it’s the ONLY thing that has ever gotten rid of my acne. However the last FOUR I have bought will NOT foam up. It comes out as a liquid, and it’s not working anymore. It will randomly foam up maybe 4 or 5 times through the entire bottle. When if foams up it works immediately and my face is clear. But when it gets charcoal stuck in the applicator it doesn’t foam and I break out even worse. Idk if the formula was changed, or what happened. I am pretty fed up wasting my money at this point.

    I was attracted to trying charcoal to absorb oil, to use in a warm Florida weather. I think this won’t be over-drying in the NY winters, either. It is a simple foaming wash that leaves your face clean with some moisture. For money savers, it takes a long time to get through a bottle, but I am eager to try new cleaners!
