Smell is pretty unpleasant. This cleanser can sometimes help, but also can irritate my skin & leave it red after use. It doesn’t feel the most gentle on the skin compared to other cleansers. Doesn’t leave my skin feeling too smooth or moisturized either :( On a positive note, it does lather really well!
