i love the fragrance free version of this cleanser. was desperate for something without citric acid and this cleanser has definitely made a difference to my skin. only downside is that i don’t feel like it removes makeup/sunscreen on its own. i’ll typically wash my face twice with the cleanser or use micellar water first. but honestly the ingredients list trump any downsides to this product and if Show more
this cleanser is my hg! i’ve been using the fragrance-free version for almost 7 months, and I really enjoy the way it makes my skin feel.
I use this as a 2nd cleanser if I’m wearing makeup, but I use it by itself if I’m only wearing sunscreen for the day. not only does it wash off my sunscreen, but it makes my skin feel refreshed (like it can breathe again) and not tight/stripped of moisture. Show more
