Best face wash! Husband and I both love it
This is the best for washing your face! A little goes a very long ways. It really foams up as it says and leaves your face so soft and clean. Both my husband and I use it and neither of us have adored a face wash like we do this one. We’ve used it for several months one of the large bottles and just now running out. He uses it once a day and I use it twice a day. And it lathers up so well still without a huge whopping amount. Will never use a different face wash. I’ve tried so many without satisfaction or being impressed or feeling fully clean but this is awesome and leaves your face so clean. I love how much it foams up
