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 Show more
I really like this product, it doesn’t clog pores, didn’t dry out my skin and it cleaned my skin well without irritating at all! And also i saw that it helped with my dark spots! My new favorite cleanser
