Here's what our community thinks
Quickfx Pimple Eraser Facial Gel Cleanser 19 ingredients
Can be a bit too drying for my face, I think it is more suited for the body. I sometimes can't tell if I cleanse enough. A very small amount can go a long way though, so good for its price.

It's good for me but as an oily skin, it gives me too much oil the next morning if I used this at night. It almost have the preference that I like except that it is not silicone free
The product claims to be oil-controlling, but when I used it at night for the first time, it felt heavy. When I woke up, my face was very oily, and I’m really confused. It made my skin very oily and caused breakouts.
