It does the job! Cleans the face perfectly without stripping me out and smells amazing!
I gave this cleanser so many chances but ITS CLEARLY NOT FOR ME. I love the afterwash look. My face feel soft, foamy, doesnt feel tight. But this cleanser seems to give me acne and bumps.
As much as i want to love this i cant. What i hate about this also is the fragrance, its like your using a bleaching soap on your face im not a fan of the smell that its giving me.
