The best cleanser that I ever had! I have combi skin that is oily on my forehead and dry in other parts of my face, and it cleans my face perfectly without leaving a drying feeling afterwards. Also, it doesn’t provoke my fungal acne, which is already a huge plus.

Gentle, soft, and has a very mild scent! Been using this cleanser for a while as my go-to due to its low ph and centella extract in it- you only need about half a pump for your whole face. It leaves my face feeling calm and not irritated. It’s also not very drying, and gentle.
