nice follow up cleanser!
a basic cleanser! it smells nice (not too strong, like a light clean perfume) and will foam up a bit with water. i personally think its effects are best seen AFTER an oil cleanser - it doesn't feel like it cleanses enough on its own. hasn't caused me any problems and leaves my skin feeling smooth and ready for other steps. but again - only after oil cleanser.
