Chiefs For Men: Energizing Face Wash - All Natural Facial Cleanser - 4 oz Bottle - Yerba Mate, Peppermint, & Eucalyptus - Provides A Deep, Thorough Clean - Soothes & Moisturizes Skin

Before I begin to write this review, I must call to attention I am female. I know that this brand specifies for male skin. However, being the bold, inquisitive individual that I am, saw the ratings of this particular enticing face wash, and knew it to be the one sacred panacea for my lingering facial angst. What I was not prepared for were the aftereffects. I was greeted with a pleasant smell of peppermint, which to my delicate female senses appeased me. However, being female, I seemed to lack the appropriate amount of upper body strength to open this small package, and had to trek twenty miles to our local French fur trading outpost to request for such assistance. I then, braving the wintry winds and intense flurries to the homestead, proceeded to begin the morning ritual with this new tincture of sorcery. I savored the refreshing scent, a soothing, deceptively easy lull encroaching my countenance with the assurance that though it was for men, ladies could don it with equality. I then applied a vigorous amount to my underprepared pores and waited for the magic to arise. A soothing plethora greeted me, first as a hint of it caressing the very surface to my skin until, like a pathogen of the worst order, began to sink in and spread its' horrifyingly intense energy into my very blood, racing and pounding like the distant drums of a powwow dance. Even despite frantic scrubbing and repeated washings, I have yet to sleep, I have the intense urge to ford rivers and shoot bison and can run like the greatest bean-induced wind you can ever see. I can swill like the best of bar maids, and have now acquired a taste for stoic silence and blustery bravado. If you ever see someone sprinting down the deep forests in nothing but buckskin and a bow, don't worry, it's me just having my morning run. (In all seriousness, my brother really loved it, and it seems to have done a great deal for the redness and dryness for his skin. 5 out of 5 stars.)

This stuff is great as a face wash. Cleans the skin well, smells good and fresh without leaving a crappy perfume behind, and does not leave my skin feeling stripped and dry like some washes/soaps. The sneaky little secret I've discovered is that Chief's is the best Pre-Shave product that I have ever used. Wash my face with this stuff, rinse my face in warm/hot water for 30seconds, and my DE or straight razor whips my beard off as easy as kiss my hand. No hair pulling, no razor burn. Pricey for what it is, maybe, but it lasts me for quite a while, since I only need a small spot of it per use. Eminently useful and nothing to complain about means 5 stars.

I've been a fan of Chief's for years, first being hooked on their pine wash. The Invigorating Facial Cleanser smells nice, like a combination of mint and eucalyptus. It lathers up really well and leaves my skin feeling clean without feeling oily or dry. The only thing I didn't like was the lid. The bottle I received had a lid that you have to take all the way off, which is fine if you're washing at a sink, but sucks in the shower. Reading the directions it seems like it used to have a snap lid as it says to squeeze out a nickel-sized amount into your hands. I would like it more if the peppermint/eucalyptus fragrance lasted longer than just the few minutes I'm washing. All said, 4/5, would buy again.

Love it. Deep cleans with out drying out your skin and really invigorates your skin. Really like it so far. Will buy again. After using 2 entire bottles of chiefs I recognize that this is a way overpriced face wash. I did some looking around and found Neutrogena Mens Invigorating Face wash is giving me the same positive results at 1/3 the price. I would love to continue using Chiefs but why would I when there are many cheaper alternatives. Deducting stars from my original review due to the outrageous cost for only 4oz.

When it said energizing, I thought, 'sure, of course it is.' But after a while of using it I can confirm it definitely is my favorite part of the whole morning routine. I rub it in my hands, smell it, and then scrub my face. It feels amazing, and then makes my face tingle, which feels even more amazing. Then my face feels nice and clean, and I feel ready for the day. If you are worried about the price, don't. A little bit of this product goes a long ways. I put the smallest amount possible on my finger and it is plenty for my bearded face. In fact, it is extremely easy to accidentally squeeze out too much. This product is going to last forever. Also, no face wash I have used has even come close to the quality of this one, further justifying the price. I would say this is a must have.

I'm not the type of guy who buys a lot of cosmetics. In fact, I've only ever owned one or two bottles of men's face wash in my life. I bought this facial cleanser after moving to Mexico. In the constant heat and sun, I started to see a lot of small acne show up around the top of my forehead and hairline. I have a handful of other guy friends including my brother who regularly use deep scrubs and have said how great they are, so I took the plunge with Chief's in the hopes that it would work. I didn't expect much to be honest but my acne was spreading and I had to do something. I've been using it now once or twice a day for a couple weeks and the results are incredible. With the exception of a few tiny spots, my acne is completely gone. I also feel like a few lines around my eyes (I'm only 38) have disappeared, but maybe that's wishful thinking. Pretty stoked with this purchase overall and looking forward to continuing to use it for months. Worth every cent in my books.

I used to enjoy their old face wash. This one seems slapped together. He uses too much peppermint to just get the 'feel' of cleansing. And looking at the ingredients, $16 is way out of line. There is also a big push for reviews for free product from the owner, so beware of reviews. Looks like it is time to find a different company.

A couple of things stand out about this product. First, the scent is downright amazing. Truly it is the best smelling face wash I've ever purchased - and I've tried many, many brands. Second, this product uses the word "Invigorating" - and this is not merely a clever turn of phrase, it's actually how you will feel when you use it. I do not spring out of bed with energy and excitement every morning - but I really enjoy the mornings I've used Chiefs and it sets an energetic tone for my day. By far, my favorite face wash for dudes.
