TOO HARSH
Someone in the pharmacy recommended this product.
After using this, my skin feels so DRY and TIGHT. Used it for 3 days and threw it away as I realised that during the evening my skin feels so oily meaning that it is affecting my natural oil for the day! I guess its for ppl with oily skin!
I do not recommend this product.
After using for about a month, I'd had seen my skin gotten more tight and dry after cleansing with this cleanser and this had stripped almost everything from my skin.
There's also a minty type smell that might irritate your eyes.
