Product reviews of Zirh CLEAN, Alpha-Hydroxy Face Wash
Review: decent product, but difficult to get to
Beauty product: 2 Stars
Since I am the sort of person who suspects that the difference between facial cleanser products generally comes down to fragrance, color, package, and marketing, I am probably not exactly the target demographic for such "luxury self-care products". Therefore, my criticism of this product may be exactly what makes it appealing to a certain segment of the population. But, I offer this since I too am tempted from time to time to try various cleansing products, searching for one I like.
The problem with ZIRH CLEAN Face Wash is that you can't use it. It comes in a rigid metal bottle with a screw-on lid and no pump. In this configuration, you cannot get at the stuff inside without opening the thing, pouring some soap into your hand (it's quite viscous, so it takes a while), and then closing it back up. As the bottle gets down to the dregs, this will no doubt become even more frustrating.
If you are the sort of person who is likely to feel that this extra work to get at your soap sets it aside from the $3 squeeze bottle with neon colors that you can get at the corner drug store, then you should buy this. If you expect at least a modicum of usability, then skip this in favor of something else. No soap is that great.
Review: Feels great, but no pump
Beauty product: 4 Stars
It actually feels great, gives your face a minty feel, and tastes somewhat alcoholic. The problem for this item is that it doesn't have a pump or even a squeeze opening. I believe it's meant for those who already own one with a pump to replace with, so if you aren't buying two to get the free shipping from this seller then you might be better off buying the one from Macy's that has a pump at least according to the picture for the same price and 4.95 shipping I believe. I've only used this product once so far, but it feels great. The reason I'm not giving 5 full stars is 1) no pump 2) in metal can which worries me because of all the talk about how Alzheimer's is affected by your body's absorption of aluminum and 3) only comes in 8oz cans, does not offer 16oz cans to reduce cost per oz. Review: Invigorating clean
Beauty product: 5 Stars
After washing my face with Zirh Clean, it feels invigorated and smooth. I enjoy washing my face twice a day with this product. And am looking forward to using it for a long time to come. Review: Try it once and use it forever

If you're searching for the best face wash for men, look no further. I've used higher end facial cleansers since high school (i.e. Neutrogena and Clinique for Men), but none can compare to the complete clean feeling you get from Zirh's Clean. With a nickel-sized dollop in your hands or washcloth, you will get a unique and deep penetrating subtle lather that rinses away far more cleanly than other products (for men or otherwise).
A friend of mine who is now hooked on the product after I introduced it to him, describes the feeling after using the product on his face as "whole." Sounds bizarre, I'm sure, but if you imagine your face as smooth, without irritation, residue-free and supple instead of taut, you'll understand exactly what he means.
When this product was first introduced in the 90s, it was even advertised as doubling as a shaving gel. In a pinch, it will serve that purpose superbly. The thick, slightly opaque nature of the product sits below stubble at skin level to give you a close shave. Because Zirh has since come out with it's Shave Cream and Shave Gel products, the company no longer makes that claim for Clean, while it certainly could.
The only reservation I have about Clean is the fact that it, like most other Zirh products, has seen a recent price increase. Perhaps the company has capitalized on the recent popularity the line has enjoyed as a result of being recommended in various news and entertainment media. For Clean, it was about a 15% increase in price. Trust me, the product is worth every penny, but I've also noticed that some canisters of Clean that I've purchased lately haven't been brimming to the cap with product as I had noticed earlier. Hopefully this has been a fluke.

Review: excellent product
Beauty product: 5 Stars
This is Great Stuff! It feels good, it smells good, it works! Using only once a day, my skin is smoother and tighter, my laugh lines are much less pronounced, and my skin tone is much more even. It doesn't leave my skin thin and paper-y around the eyes like many women's products do. I do wash above and immediately below my eyes with this product without any adverse effects on my contacts. It is worth every penny. The only downside is the packaging doesn't allow for much control when pouring the product into your hand, so you have to be careful not to get more than you need. Excellent Product.
