This has been my skin savior!! All of my FA safe moisturizers aren’t hydrating enough on their own. I wanted to add squalane that wasn’t derived from olives. I add multiple layers of this with sebamed gel. My skin finally feels moisturized.
Very hydrating!!!! The only oil i’ve found that’s fungal acne safe.😭 I used to use as a oil cleanser but now I just use it as a face and hair moisturizer, since i don’t wear a lot of makeup. It’s great for both tho!!🩷

best cleanser out there!
this cleanser has never failed me. i've been using it for nearly 2 years and it always manages to cleanse the deepest parts of my pores always leaving clean skin ready for my day or night!
Gentle and effective
So good for my acne prone skin. Of course, this is not the only product I use to clear and prevent ance, but it has been a helpful addition.
Not harsh enough to irritate on its own, but if you have sensitive skin it may become irritated if you follow this cleanser with acids/retinoids.
