Great for oily acne-prone skin
Has a weird but perfectly tolerable fragrance (like an attempt to cover "chemical" smells with cucumber). Has a bit of stickiness to it as it foams in your hands and even slightly once it has foamed, but that doesn't seem to affect the performance at all. And the performance is great - in combination with the Bioderma Sebium Sensitive moisturizer, it fights acne, soothes the skin and reduces oiliness. Which is everything you want from it.

Nothing but positive things to say about this cleanser. One of my favorite aspects of this product is that it foams up so well! I was very impressed with how much it lathers w/very little product. So you'll definitely get your money's worth. I also love how it doesn't feel stripping on my face so it makes for a nice gentle yet effective cleanser for my dry skin. It also does a pretty solid job at removing makeup from my face and brushes I felt that this was comparable to the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, but I prefer the ingredients more in this product.

Horribly drying, leaves my skin feeling super tight every time I use it. I used this product throughout bits of the summer I can't imagine how dry it would leave my skin in the winter. Quite surprised by the popularity of this product but maybe it's more suited to oily skin.
