Didn't notice any changes,
Use it for 2 month now everyday, and I haven't notice any changes or improvement.
Dors dry the skin though. It's gentle enough. It's not bad, just doesn't fit me.
nice follow up cleanser!
a basic cleanser! it smells nice (not too strong, like a light clean perfume) and will foam up a bit with water. i personally think its effects are best seen AFTER an oil cleanser - it doesn't feel like it cleanses enough on its own. hasn't caused me any problems and leaves my skin feeling smooth and ready for other steps. but again - only after oil cleanser.
