Amazing cleanser for sensitive skin! Skin doesn't feel dry after and almost feels moisturized with this cleanser. Not very tough on removing makeup so I do recommend using micellar water / makeup remover before since this product is so gentle. But I am soo happy with this product it's I think the first cleanser that does 0 irritation for me

Helped my damaged skin barrier!
This was the only cleanser that helped my face when my skin barrier was damaged. I've tried multiple gentle cleansers but they don't do much to sooth my irritated skin. This is gentle, soothing, doesn't leave behind any film, my face doesn't feel tight after, and has helped to reduce the uneven bumps on my face. Surprisingly cleanses my oily skin well. What a life saver!
