This thing is STRONG. I really have mixed feelings about it: I consider it a drying product (although, there are worse), but on the other hand, I have very oily and acne prone skin and I feel like I need a very deep cleanse every once in a while (specially on hot and humid months) and this thing works like magic when it comes to it.
My best advice is to avoid it if you have dry or sensitive Show more
Loveee this cleanser

Gentle. Hydrating. My extremely sensitive skin tolerated it well, but found it pretty sticky upon drying down. Downloaded some into a spray bottle and used it as a somewhat successful & mild underarm deoderant.
