teenage skin isn’t always oily!
used this because i assumed i, as a teenager, must need a cleanser for acne prone skin but no! leaves my skin tight and stripped! not what i need. feels like alcohol on my face.
great option for oily skin types, much more gentle and soothing than other acne cleansers (e.g. viral La Roche Posay Effaclar cleanser -extremely stripping on skin)
Tip!: After cleansing, apply serums/moisturiser while skin is damp to prevent dry/tightness 🤍
