I've been using this cleanser for years now and we are inseparable. Such an underrated product! The texture is gel-like, doesn't lather but still provides a thorough cleanse and a "clean" feeling while being super gentle and non-stripping. It also promotes wound healing. I used it during some bad allergic reactions and it helped my skin calm down. It reminds me of the Bioderma Sensibio cleanser, but this one takes the win for me. I do have sensitive skin prone to dryness though, so it might not be enough for the oilier skin types.

I will probably never stop using this. Super gentle and doesn’t break me out. It has a shorter shelf life than you’d expect so look out for that....
I will probably never stop using this. Super gentle and doesn’t break me out. It has a shorter shelf life than you’d expect so look out for that. It’s also not optimal to use on it’s own to remove makeup.
