Gave me a massive allergic reaction
I like the texture of the cleanser and the lather it produces. However, immediately after rinsing it off and patting my skin dry I saw that most of my face was bright red. It took almost 2 hours to calm down and after it did I was left with very dry patches around the perimeter of where the red patches were. I had to return it - no good on my skin.
