AmbiEven & Clear Exfoliating Wash 5 oz(Pack of 3)

I've been using this product for years so I didn't bother to check the reviews since it has always worked great for me. Well apparently amazon is shipping out the supposedly "New Improved Formula". It doesn't contain the exfoliating beads like the original one. Its like a runny slimy gunk now. If I wanted that I would stick with the other facial washes out there. I actually have some like that but I liked to use this in my weekly regimen and it worked just fine. Who told Ambi to change the formula? I'm pissed about this and I guess I'm late with finding out. Looks like the company has been shipping out this new formula for months now. I tend to buy in bulk when I find a great product but recently ran out of this. Everyone I know who used this product liked it the way it was so it makes me wonder why the company would change a good thing. I hope the company didn't discover something major wrong with the original formula like a cancer causing agent or some other crazy thing wrong and try to cover/fix it quick without telling people. Can't be too cautious nowadays with these companies after the whole Johnson&Johnson crap. Hopefully it's the more likely scenario that a lot of other companies do which is to make a cheaper less efficient product while charging the same amount or even more money and hope people still buy it. Well not me! I guess it's back to my old ST Ives apricot scrub I used to use years ago. If they haven't changed their formula that's another option for people looking for a product with a similar feel to ambi's original exfoliating formula.

I have suffered from hyper-pigmentation for years, 10+. I can honestly say this line of products is the only one that has given me true results, this quick, with no adverse reactions. I use the coco butter soap bar first on all my effected areas, then using a soft brush exfoliator , i use the Ambi Even & Clear Exfoliating Wash for a minute, i do these steps in the shower daily. Once out of the shower, i use Ambi Even & Clear Fade cream every night and each morning as well on freshly washed skin. I have never seen my skin begin to clear up this quickly. Some spots i've been dealing with since 2019 are beginning to fade right in front of me. I am sooo excited to finally be on the road to even clear skin. As the directions say, start off using the fade cream and the exfoilationg wash once a day and then progress to twice a day to make sure your skin isn't effected my the ingredients.

Update after 2 months:No new breakouts. More scars from the purge than I would like but they seem to be healing and fade a lot quicker. Still happy to continue to use this twice a day as I think it’s stopped the outbreaks, just need to generate new skin and fade these scars and get my skin into the promised land we all dream of. So far so good.Update after 6 weeks:Great stuff. No new breakouts. Purge has virtually disappeared, only have one spot that’s drying up. Skin feels good and tight and looks more even in color. I like that it’s dried my skin a little (in a good way and not irritating, like I said earlier adjust the amount and how often you use it at first and listen to your skin then increase it), I was always oily and feel this controls that and cleans out my pores. Now I’m working on lightening up dark scars with some Kojic acid cream. Continuing to use this twice daily as I’m not breaking out anymore. Stick it out.Original review:Great stuff. Never used anything like this before. Was breaking out on my forehead and temples for years. For the first week i jumped in and I used it twice a day and it seemed to control the oil on my face, I had a bunch of new white heads break out in the normal areas but they seemed to dry up within a couple of days - they disappeared a lot quicker than they normally would have. Second week, no new breakouts, skin seems to have cleared up and it’s keeping new stuff from starting. I think the acid does the actual exfoliating not the beads everyone keeps talking about, it has some biodegradable scrub like stuff in it but the acid is the thing that’s working. I did notice in the first week I couldn’t use it under the eyes or top of the cheeks or nose due to excessive drying but now I can. My advice is try it once a day or a few times a week first. See what dries out and what doesn’t and adapt how you use it, use it where you get no problems and use less in areas that seem overly dry. It really works. I think I had an oil problem and probably skin blocking up pores. Recommend it and I recommend sticking it out to see if the initial “purge” goes away. Mine did.

I got this because I use other Ambi products and love them. Ibwas very disappointed by this face wash....it's not exfoliating as it says. It's a basic face wash....not even as good as the Ambi beauty/completion bar

Why do manufacturers change a product that "USED" to work? I say "USED TO" because the whole product is different. One, the beads have been removed, therefore, it no longer exfoliates your skin like the product claims to do. Second, it is now a creamy mixture versus a whip. Third, the smell is absolutely awful. Everything about this product has been ruined. I used this for years and after one use of it I am insisting on my money back. It is absolutely devastating that a manufacturer would change a product that "USED TO WORK" now, it's junk!!!
