    I’ve been using this cleanser for almost five months now, and my skin really does well with it. I was a little drier at first, but once things balanced out, it helped clear up my acne alongside the rest of my routine. I genuinely love it now. I do have sensitive combination, acne, prone skin, but It’s just one of those products I don’t want to be without.

    Terrible product

    I would leave no stars if able, this face wash BURNED my face and I’m unable to use this. I never had issues with this brand but this one was horrible intense red and dry patches that were sensitive to the touch. I bought this item with my own money and used it a total of 3 times, such a waste!
