Overall great cleanser, used for ~5 months now.
Pros: Has never left me feeling stripped, irritated, or excessively dry/flakey. No fragrance. Makes my skin feel clean and refreshed.
Notes: I haven't noticed anything particularly hydrating about this cleanser (however, no cleanser is going to hydrate like a moisturizer/serum/etc so I can 100% let that slide). It cannot effectively remove makeup, MUST use other cleansers for this.
