Pricey, but great for oily skin, and I don't think it's stripping at all (although, dry skin people may disagree). It provides a very deep cleansing, but your face won't feel super dry right after as it happens with other cleansers for oily skin that contain harsh ingredients like mint. Plus, it smells very refreshing, like freshly cut grass. It shocks me that despite the brand's philosophy, they don't offer any option for refilling the bottle, which is made of glass, and really makes you think of it as a refillable product. But sadly it's not and if you want to repurchase, you really need to go buy another really heavy glass bottle and throw away the old one. I don't know if it's some sort of greenwashing but it's definetly not practical.

fantastic mask!
This is a fantastic overnight mask! It is a pretty yellow color that disappears on application. The light scent is pleasant. It's very hydrating feeling with it on but not too thick. In the morning I think my skin has a subtle glow to it. It's definitely soft and well hydrated.
