Yes To Blueberries Smoothing Cleanser, 4.5 Ounce, $9.99 from Amazon
My skin is ridiculously sensitive. Any amount of touching whatsoever ignites it into red, blotchy anger. I’m Irish, and that’s just the way it’s always been. It’s difficult to find facial products that don’t make my skin rage but also work well to remove makeup, prevent blemishes, and the other oh-so-lofty goals we have in our facial products.
I started using “Yes to Blueberries Age Refresh Smoothing Daily Cleanser” about two months ago. I live in Florida, so it doesn’t really get that cold, but on days where my face felt kind of dry this is some amazing stuff. It leaves a very moisturized, almost lotion-y feeling on the skin that takes some getting used to. It’s meant to be anti-aging, so not leaving skin taut is a must. I like to use it at night before going to sleep.
Yes To Daily Cream Facial Cleanser, Carrots, 6 Fluid Ounce, $7.99 from Amazon
I decided to order another bottle of it and also give the “Yes to Carrots Daily Cream Facial Cleanser” a try. This doesn’t leave skin as “dewy” feeling but does leave a nice, clean, and smooth after feeling.
Yes To Carrots Lip Butter, Mint, $3.69 from Amazon (mint is the green tube)
I also have the “Yes to Carrots Mint Lip Balm”, and enjoy that as well. However, if you’re already into Burt’s Bees lip balm, it’s usually not the better choice economically.
These are all mostly organic, paraben free products that are reasonably priced. You can get them at Walmart, Target, Amazon, and most drug stores.
Have you tried any of the “Yes to…” products? How do you feel they compare to other organic products?

I’ve used a lot of the Yes to products. They’re okay in terms of naturalness/organicness and their performance is also okay. Not bad, not good. Not thrilled enough to repurchase anything I’ve tried. There are a few duds though. I tried the Blueberry Serum and it really, really, really dried out my skin. I turned in around and there is alcohol in it. Not the happy, fat emulsifying kind. The denaturing kind. I also don’t recommend these products for those with fragrance sensitivities. The only product I’ve repurchased is the Carrots conditioner but it has been outclassed by other purchases of mine.

I use yes to cucumbers conditioner and I don’t really care for it. The texture of my hair after using it felt the same as any other drug store brand I’ve used. I haven’t gotten the chance to buy the facial cleanser yet though.

Honestly, I’d advise against natural/organic products in most cases if you have sensitive (especially acne-prone) skin. The reason is because your skin is far more likely to react to natural ingredients versus manufactured ones, and a lot of natural ingredients are actually irritants.
Instead of opting specifically for natural/organic, read the ingredients. Make sure that the list isn’t overly long so as to not have to try and figure out which is causing issues if it reacts with your skin (the fewer ingredients, the easier the deduction work will be once you’ve used more products and can check out ingredients on them all). Make sure to check comedogenic lists to see what listed ingredients are more likely to be problematic. Check out reviews.

I’ve never been impressed with their products and like the first poster said, the alcohol and the fragrance. I really didn’t think they were any better than other drug store brands.

I had the ‘Say Yes to Cucumbers’ face wipes, which is the line that’s supposed to be especially for sensitive skin, and I didn’t like it. I don’t have sensitive skin and i used it only after I go to the gym, but the product stung so much! Since I don’t have sensitive skin and it stung a lot, I would re-consider getting it if you do have sensitive skin.

I love Yes To (: I use the Yes to Carrots Shampoo and Conditioner, have been for 2 years. I am very careful with my hair, only use things I trust, and I definitely trust this stuff. I have to, since my hair is like 26 inches long and curly as kasdfjhldsa (: My room mate swears by the cucumber face wipes.

I’ve wanted to try these for a while, but I don’t buy products from Israel.

I use the Yes To Tomatoes face moisturizer religiously every day and night, and have been for about a year now. It’s great stuff.
Also, the Yes To Carrots cleanser is pretty nice, too. I still kinda miss my Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit cream cleanser, but I think I’d like to buy that again and use these cleansers, switching between them every day or so.
The Yes To Cucumbers makeup wipes are also pretty great, too! I buy them when I’m going camping or somewhere I may not always be able to wash my face. Very convenient to have.
