HG cleanser for my Rosace/oily/sensitive skin. Use it with TO Squalane oil as a double cleansing routine
The best cleanser that I ever had! I have combi skin that is oily on my forehead and dry in other parts of my face, and it cleans my face perfectly without leaving a drying feeling afterwards. Also, it doesn’t provoke my fungal acne, which is already a huge plus.
