Well, it is gentle, but I didn't like the experience. Usually, my cleansing balms and oils emulsify as soon as I start adding water on my face, and wash off nicely. However, this one somehow doesn't... Even after double cleansing. Perhaps a stronger second cleanser would help, but my skin only tolerates milky washes/cleansers. I would have given it three stars, but the strong, off-putting smell Show more
Don't buy this if u have acne prone skin. I used it for so long without realizing it was breaking me out and now i have so many black and whiteheads .

This is a fantastic cleanser option for sensitive skin. This has become my HG because of how often I've returned to it after trying other cleansers that were simply too harsh or irritating. Affordable, accessible (you can find it in most drug stores), and does what I need it to do. Aveeno, hear my prayer and never discontinue or reformulate this!
