Not the best cleanser for my sensitive dehydrated skin and hormonal acne. It dried my eyelids and lips. I thought it was because of the anua exfoliating toner which has tea tree extract (I'm allergic to it so i stopped using) but it's because of this too. The madagascar centella toner is good tho but not this one imo
