Shockingly I love this cleanser, it’s like the Anua heartleaf cleanser but 3x times better. It’s super gentle, safer ingredients, and doesn’t strip your skin like the Anua one. Foams up very nicely and leaves my face feeling plump and hydrated. Definitely recommend this for my acne prone people.
i didn’t know i wasn’t supposed to use this everyday because it’s supposedly an exfoliating cleanser but it didn’t irritate or dry my skin out! helped a bit with redness and acne which i don’t really care if a cleanser does that or not, if a cleanser doesn’t leave my skin stripped, helped with dryness and gets rid of any excess sebum which this cleanser did, i love it! if i used it a few times a Show more

This product is very smooth when cleansing and doesn’t make my skin feel irritated. Love that it is gentle, smells great but not a strong scent either. If you want a product that is good for acne cleansing, but also not too drying, I’d go with this one. Sure it isn’t “oil-free,” but it cleans your face and hydrates it well. I have oily skin and it doesn’t make me look or feel oily at all or too Show more
