This one is an alright product but it causes me dryness if I use a little bit more. I had to use only a bit to clean my skin or else it would cause me dryness. And it won't clean my skin well if I use a bit. So not recommended

May be good for someone but not for me. The cream cleanser is thick and spreads really nicely and it does have a tingly sensation afterwards that feels like clean and fresh. My skin overall is dry, however my face is oilier and more along the lines of normal to combination sensitive skin, like very sensitive. This product does contain Salicylic Acid but with no percentage listed. The tingly sensation most likely comes from the Menthol (which is a common ingredient in a LOT of skincare products), which while is Good for Oily Skin, it is can be BAD for sensitive skin, dry skin, and may worsen Rosacea as well as cause irritation. Just because it wasn't great for me, doesn't mean it won't be useful to someone else. 3 Stars.
