so gentle foaming cleanser and moisturising
Mediheal Tea Tree Biome Blemish Cica Gel Cleanser 35 ingredients
This is super gentle, it gives a really nice soothing clean and I’ve had great results on my sensitive & reactive skin. It’s not drying at all
This is a great cleanser that'll last you a while. Not stripping, no weird smell, great texture, and a great cleanser overall. Unfortunately it is a bit pricy and hard to find over here :'>
