I’ve only recently bought this product and have used it for about a a month and a half and I already LOVE it so much.
It works so well for my dry sensitive fungal acne prone skin. I use this in the evening for my double cleanse, it doesn’t dry or irritate my skin at all. I really recommend this product.
I only managed to find this on amazon but the price is good for the amount that you get.
An actually fantastic cleanser for the price point. Quite liquidy so you don't have to use a lot of product. In comparison to the Dr Sam's cleanser I was using before, this feels a lot easier to move across the face, causing less friction and irritation. It has never dried out my skin at all and doesn't have any problematic ingredients for me.

i love the fragrance free version of this cleanser. was desperate for something without citric acid and this cleanser has definitely made a difference to my skin. only downside is that i don’t feel like it removes makeup/sunscreen on its own. i’ll typically wash my face twice with the cleanser or use micellar water first. but honestly the ingredients list trump any downsides to this product and if Show more
this cleanser is my hg! i’ve been using the fragrance-free version for almost 7 months, and I really enjoy the way it makes my skin feel.
I use this as a 2nd cleanser if I’m wearing makeup, but I use it by itself if I’m only wearing sunscreen for the day. not only does it wash off my sunscreen, but it makes my skin feel refreshed (like it can breathe again) and not tight/stripped of moisture. Show more
