Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.

My current favorite cleanser !!! In spite of many (potentially) irritating ingredients, this product really healed my acne prone skin <333. My first impression on this was the herbal and gentle smell of rosemary which was divine, I am actually obsessed with the scent of this cleanser ðŸ˜. Secondly, it cleanses your face so well, leaving it soft and hydrated without feeling like your face has been Show more
Tried this randomly because of a sample freebie, it exceeded my expectations.
I had a very angry pimple on my chin when I tried this, and the very next day it dried out. I believe this cleanser helped.
My skin fluctuates, but I lean more on the dry side. And this doesn't dry me even more. I love the smell, and I think this product is underrated!
