Updated 13.06: It has since managed to cause irritation and some whiteheads, potentially due to overuse. Currently removed from routine and will be reintroduced at a later point at a lesser frequency.
I recently acquired this product in a small size for trying out, and having used it for a couple of days now, I think I am sold and not going back.
I use it in the evenings as a second step after micellar water. It foams up to a really nice thick situation consisting of tiny bubbles and has a light herbal scent that I really enjoy. After washing the face thoroughly for about a minute, it leaves the skin clean without noticeably drying it out.
So far I have not noticed any irritation or other unwanted side effect. The pores seem to be less noticeable, skin has gotten much softer and it does seem to reduce redness. So far I am definitely inclined to repurchase the product.

I use this as a situational exfoliation cleanser and I really enjoy the buttery feel of this as I apply it and the smell is okay too. Since I use this as needed, it's hard to judge if it actually gives me results though. Might also be biased because this was my first actually decent cleanser.
