Unfortunately baby products have a lot of poison type chemicals in them - if you don't understand the ingredients, don't use it -
you can try phisoderm
Dr. Murad stuff which is more expensive or get real essential oil of lavender and put some in your hand, water and baking soda then use like a cleanser/exfoliator
Clean your face with mineral oil and vinegar
Mask with organic plain yogurts
You can use organic shampoo as facial cleanser too

Not a great idea. Baby liquid soap isn't even that great for babies. Dermatologists, pediatricians, and even hospitals have started leaving it out of care kits given to new parents. They are finding that these baby soaps are actually just stripped down versions of shampoos and are causing cradle cap and continued flaking of delicate baby skin. People think it works because babies skin doesn't have proper pores yet and they haven't developed oil glands so it's less reactive but in actuality it's stripping the lipid barrier from the skin and causing skin rashes, cradle cap, and flaking. Do not use this on your face. Anyone over teen age has developed pores and the skin is sebum producing. The pores on your face are very different than the pores on your body (example, you get acne on your face, not on your legs..). This is why dermatologists and skincare professionals do not recommend body soaps on the face. You are stripping your faces natural lipid barrier and disturbing the acid mantle which can lead to pre-mature aging and acne problems in the future. It's much cheaper to prevent the problems than to pay to fix them in the future. Spend the money on a decent cleanser. There are a million good ones at the store that are just as cheap as the baby shampoo. Try the alba botanicals papaya gel cleanser or one of the neutrogena gentle facial cleansers. Clearing up acne, psoriasis, premature aging, or seborrhea is expensive so don't set yourself up for future problems.

it's the ONLY thing I use. Johnson and Johnson head to toe baby wash. Works Wonderful..Good and getting makeup off too because it doesnt sting your eyes. It will not help or prevent acne though.

Not a good idea. Bbay soap can be too harsh on facial skin. Try Cetaphil..it is really gentle. Or the sensitive skin cleanser by Jurlique..really gentle and organic. Won't irritate your skin at all.

I don't see why you couldn't give it a try, but just remember...a baby's pH is much different from an adult. I bought some of the L'Oreal for kids shampoo once because it smells so freakin good, but it didn't wash my hair very well...adult hair and scalp is different.
