its a gel type cleanser not foaming. i have oily skin so my skin doesnt feel clean enough after washing but also didn’t break me out or irritate skin. might try this cleanser again
My mistake of using this product is using it more than 2 times a day. It dried my skin around my mouth area and broke my skin barrier. But using it occasionally on my acne breakout works wonder.
