a really good cleanser! i had low expectations for this at first, but it's actually really good and cleanses ur face nicely! it helped get rid of my acne too :) also affordable
the only flaw about this is that it's a hassle to use lmao :P i have to constantly reapply the cleanser mid cleanse 2-3 times because it keeps vanishing onto my skin in like 15 seconds. overall it's really good though
Irresistibl
It's a great product, but doesn't suit my skin. Left me starting to breakout again after a few days of usage
