I use this every night as my 1st cleanser in a double cleansing routine. It has a little orange/citrus scent but nothing over powering. Sometimes when I dampen my face then apply the product and rub, I can literally rub the clogged pore sebum out of my skin. I’ve also heard you can apply this dry and supplement water as you cleanse. Overall a great product and I feel like it actually helped with Show more
I have sensitive skin and eczema (mainly on eyelid) and this broke me out like crazy on my first two usages.

Broke me out
The cleanser has a nice consistency but after using it for a while, I noticed that I was having a horrible breakout. It wasn't until I stopped using it, that my face finally started to clear up.
