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.
It doesn't leave the skin stripped but mine felt a little tight after rinsing - my face was somewhat dehydrated so, even though this cleanser is on the gentle side, I wouldn't pick foaming formulas if my skin feels that dehydrated in the future.
