Cleanses but doesn’t hydrate 5/5
This cleanser CLEANSES your skin, and doesn’t do anything besides really stripping your oils and dirt in your pores. Without damaging or causing irritation unlike most cleansers do. Use genuinely need this (as a sensitive and combinational skin type).

used to love this cleanser
I swore by this cleanser as someone with super sensitive skin, but after almost 2 years of using it, I'm not sure if it stopped working or the formula was changed but I had to stop using this. It's definitely amazing for drier skin types, it almost doesn't foam or lather at all, but thats part of why I stopped using it. Doesn't really take off makeup well. Very Show more
first product that has ever made me have a fungal acne breakout :( barely took off any makeup as well
