really aggravated my rosacea! at first time use it felt fine but then it later stripped my skin, leaving it irritated. it might've been what gave my skin bumps and texture.

A really simple cleanser that works nicely. The unscented version really doesn’t have a fragrance, so it’s almost a bit medicinal and tastes a bit weird if some gets in your mouth. However, I got used to the smell and really got to enjoy this cleanser

I love how smooth this feels when I wash my face. It also doesn’t leave my face feeling tight or dry after washing.
