Realmente um limpador eficiente e agradável. :)
Porém... Principalmente se você for do time premiado com Acne fúngica... Siga. As. Instruções: O produto recomenda sua retirada com água morna/quente.
Água fria funciona, mas senti a necessidade de lavar mais de uma vez para limpeza "completa". (3 vezes... ;-;)
E as aspas aqui têm a ver com a minha condição de Acne Fúngica. Sendo este um produto com vários ingredientes não recomendados para este público, o NÃO USO de água morna/quente deixou resíduos que me renderam uma grande e inesperada reação de foliculite. T-T
Sim, tenho certeza que foi isso, pois: Já usava o produto corretamente a meses, então fiz uma viagem onde o banheiro do local não tinha água quente. Esta foi a única mudança na rotina, mesmo o clima do destino é similar ao de onde moro, ambos quente e úmido.
Portanto, respeite as instruções dos rótulos. :)
