Have used this for 2 weeks, and am starting to really enjoy it for AM cleanser. It is gentle and does not strip my skin especially for the morning where I don’t need deep cleansing and spend a little longer to do facial massage. Good ingredients list with ceramides and niacinamide.
The texture is milky gel like, and foams up a little. The smell is ‘clinical’, however I am now used to it and Show more
love this! lightweight, moisturising, face feels clean after but not stripped, it cleanses well. swapped the cerave foaming cleanser out for this one, and have no complaints. on my second repurchase :)
