Now here are the reviews:

Cleansing Gel:
Pros:

• Really good at cleansing
• Lots of nice, fancy ingredients
• Did not make me break out (despite having lots of oils)
• Paraben-free, sulfate-free, vegan, cruelty-free
• "natural formulas" - according to the label (although technically everything is made from chemicals and is therefore somehow "natural" in some way - the exact line b/w natural and artificial can be vague in some senses)

Cons:

• Price ($14.99 for 4 oz)

Brightening Facial Scrub:

Pros:

• Really good at getting off dead skin cells (exfoliating, or, more properly, desquamating)
• Lots of nice, fancy ingredients
• Did not make me break out (despite having lots of oils)
• Paraben-free, sulfate-free, vegan, cruelty-free
• "natural formulas" - according to the label (although technically everything is made from chemicals and is therefore somehow "natural" in some way - the exact line b/w natural and artificial can be vague in some senses)

Cons:

• Price ($14.99 for 4 oz)

Would I buy the full-sized versions of these products? Probably, if I had lots of $$. But I don't so I don't think I will at this time. But these were definitely nice products!!!
