Nothing but positive things to say about this cleanser. One of my favorite aspects of this product is that it foams up so well! I was very impressed with how much it lathers w/very little product. So you'll definitely get your money's worth. I also love how it doesn't feel stripping on my face so it makes for a nice gentle yet effective cleanser for my dry skin. It also does a pretty solid job at removing makeup from my face and brushes I felt that this was comparable to the CeraVe Foaming Cleanser, but I prefer the ingredients more in this product.

Horribly drying, leaves my skin feeling super tight every time I use it. I used this product throughout bits of the summer I can't imagine how dry it would leave my skin in the winter. Quite surprised by the popularity of this product but maybe it's more suited to oily skin.
