This is the last cleanser you’ll ever need. I’ve become so paranoid about aggravating my fungal acne that I had to drop my 10yr relationship with my OG cleanser. It wasn’t FA safe but I continued to use it since it was a rinse-off formula and it never worsened my FA. Oh how the turn tables…..
After a long stubborn patch of FA refused to die, I blamed my cleanser. I’m not 100% sure if switching Show more
TL;DR: New cleanser holy grail! 🏆 Very hydrating and formulated to be acne safe, especially for FA. Kind of pricey.
I will disclaimer I have only used this once so far, but I consider myself a cleanser snob, and know what works for me within one or two uses. That said, this cleanser is a WOW. I’d been using Slurp’s Gel as my staple, but this is on a whole other level.
First, it feels great Show more

Super Nice...
This is a good cleanser as a 2nd step in double cleansing. I use it in the evenings to ensure all my makeup is removed. It does not strip my skin and doesn't irritate it either. There are others I prefer, but this is one of my favorites from the drugstore.
Absolutely love everything about this cleanser!
It’s basic with HA but feels hydrating, doesn’t dry my skin and even removes makeup without needing any double cleansing.
I will stick to this one since it does the job perfectly and I don’t like cleansers with actives as i have to be more careful with what products to use after them.
100/10
