this works soooo good. i have dehydrated oily acne-prone skin and i tend to have little bumps & slightly clogged pores and this cleanses so well. i love how it’s pH balanced and it also smells like macarons to me ^o^
the cleanser has a very smooth and creamy-ish texture. it lathers nicely on the skin and feels soft. after use, my skin doesn’t feel stripped and gives me a very refreshed and Show more
It weirdly worked for two bottles even though I think I'm allergic to Centella Asiatica, however, I'm using different products now and I'm too scared to try it again lmao

i have combination skin and bought this in korea. i literally only used this one product daily and it gave me clear skin with little hormonal acne. however, it may be drying after use.
It irritated my skin, after use my skin felt itchy all over and dehydrated. I think its the rosemary oil in this that made my skin feel itchy.
