Its texture is like jelly, which makes it difficult to create foam and ended up using either too much or too little each time. It feels light and doesn’t irritate the skin. I find it a bit expensive, though. For reference, I have dry to normal skin.

I really like this cleanser. It's nice to use with my sensitive, dry skin, and it doesn't leave me feeling squeaky clean, which is nice. I bought it on sale for about $5 CDN, so for a reasonable sale price, it's a lovely cleanser. I took one star off because it has a powerful smell of mugwort.

i thought it does nothing for my skin when i was using it occasionally, but than i ran out of my usual toner and wasn't able to buy for sometime, soi started using i'm from everyday twice, and damn, my purging i was having (from introducing new acid in my routine for my comedonal and hormonal acne) suppressed and then just stopped... i didn't had any bad breakouts since 2 months, i now understand why people are saying that this product saved their skin
