this works soooo good. i have dehydrated oily acne-prone skin and i tend to have little bumps & slightly clogged pores and this cleanses so well. i love how it’s pH balanced and it also smells like macarons to me ^o^
the cleanser has a very smooth and creamy-ish texture. it lathers nicely on the skin and feels soft. after use, my skin doesn’t feel stripped and gives me a very refreshed and clean feeling !! :3 you also only need a pea sized amount, so a little goes a long way. one bottle can last you a good while if you use the right amount each time.
i’ve used this cleanser for about 3 months (that’s how long the bottle lasted me) and i can tell a difference between other cleansers i’ve also liked and used for a while. this one effectively cleans my face and allows my products to absorb into the skin more. i can also see that my pores started looking better after each use.
i 100% recommend this product if you haven’t tried it yet!! i love it so much but i do want to try other cleansers. i will definitely come back to this one.
