Love it, will repurchase. Despite its name, I use it in the morning. Leaves my skin feeling fresh without irritation (you don't need much product). Has no smell.
I was aware of their 'Good Morning' cleanser which seemed a little bit stripping for my sensitive skin based on their ingredient list, so I decided to try this Pha version instead. And I'm so glad I did! It helps me gently exfoliate on a daily basis without stripping my face, as my pores tend to clog.
✦ Price: Pretty reasonable for me considering that I use this product every two days plus I always buy it on sale
✦ Lasts about 5 months

First on my face, way too harsh so i did body only. I got lots of acne and heard nothing but "an all cure for everything skinwise" lol.
Well it HURTS like a bitch. God it stings.
Absolutely no difference, if anything worse skin issues. Around the buttocks area.
Best thing that couldve happened to me? African Black Soap.

Didn't do anything for me
I wanted to like this product so much but after finishing one and a half bottle I still didn't see a difference on my face. Stings a little bit so I only used it 2-3 times a week.
