started using this cleanser recently since none of my other cleansers were really good for my skin, and the info and ingredients list for this cleanser drew me in. needless to say, i am impressed! this is the first cleanser i have used that does not dry me out like crazy. it lathers really nicely, and it gets the job done well!
Does a great job at making skin feel clean without stripping it, foams up really nicely. Mild & non-irritating on my dry skin

Didn't work out for me personally, but I still think it's a good product. I'd suggest using it as a second cleanser (doesn't remove makeup that well), or as a cleanser in the morning.

One of the best face washes I've used. Doesn't irritate my oily, eczema-prone skin and feels very light on your face.
