This is a very gentle cleanser. Doesn't foam up much. It does have a unique smell.

Good cleanser, bought when my usual was out of stock. Gentle, doesn't foam very much. Takes alot more to rinse off than my usual cleansers. My skin can be sensitive and this doesn't break me out. Wouldn't rush to buy again as it doesn't dazzle but good if you can't find anything else.

It’s not for oily skin because it makes your skin look more oily. It is also not fragrance free so every time I put it the fragrance bothers me. It is not for me, I prefer sunscreens that does not give a shiny look.
