Effective, Non-Stripping, Smooths Skin
This cleanser is genuinely so good. I've been searching for a cleanser that doesn't irritate my skin but also cleanses my oily skin effectively and this one does both!

(Tried Jan 2021) This was actually the product that made me realize that my skin does not mix with Niacinamide (especially at high concentrations because I can usually tolerate it at %4/less or when it isn't a primary ingredient). I tested it on my wrist and a small patch on my cheek to check, and I had hives in both areas. I wouldn't want to give this a poor rating solely on the account of my Show more
