Great for my broken skin barrier. I have dehydrated skin, clog prone (acne prone) with oily T-zone. This one is gentle, non striping and did NOT cause me acne.
It's even gentler than LRP Toleriane Hydrating cleanser, and doesn't sting my eyes compared to that one! I love it so much! It has a creamy gel, slightly sticky consistency, very soft, with a slight oat smell that I have fallen in love with. It is non-foaming, and while it's not hydrating or moisturizing, it doesn't strip your face at all.
It is now my holy grail cleanser, especially when my Show more

first product that has ever made me have a fungal acne breakout :( barely took off any makeup as well
