    An okay cleanser

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an okay cleanser but I really love how it foams and it’s not hard to rinse. I don’t really love the scent but it’s not bad, my face did feel pretty clean after the first cleanse but I like to use it twice.

    The best gel

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Texture: The texture is creamy and foamy at the same time. It spreads easily on the skin and gives a deep-clean: ig without being Pore Size: After a few weeks, I noticed that my pores looked cleaner and less visible, especially around the nose and cheeks. My skin also looked smoother and less congested.Overall, I think it's a great acne wash if you struggle with breakouts and want something strong and reliable.

    Great for breakouts

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how clean this makes my face feel when I was it off, the product is a bot slimy but I promise it washes off completely and leaves your face feeling refreshed. My hormones are all over the place which has caused more breakouts recently, this has really helped control them. I am not a fan of the smell of the product but I like the packaging of it as it is easy to get out.

    Helps a lot with post-acne marks !!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this cleansing gel for at least 1 week and I really like how clean my skin feels after using it. The gel texture is lightweight, lathers nicely and helps remove excess oil without making my skin feel overly tight or irritated. I’ve noticed fewer small breakouts and my skin looks smoother overall. It also helps with clogged pores and some post acne marks over time !! The packaging is super practical with the pump! Which makes it easy to use daily. Overall it feel gentle but still effective for acne -prone skin.

    Great acne cleanser that works without irritating sensitive skin

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using it for approximately two weeks. It has helped reduce my breakouts significantly without irritating my sensitive skin. It absorbs fast , doesn’t feel sticky, and a little goes a long way - one pump is more than enough. No dryness or redness after use.

    Nice option for mixed acne skin

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very good soap with excellent ingredients like 2% salicylic acid, which has helped me a lot with my acne. I’ve been using it for a week now, and it has helped me with my inflammatory acne. It has almost no scent, just a little touch of normal soup smell. It is not foamy but with a little of it is enough. It makes your skin feel tight after you wash it. Using it in the morning and before going to sleep you will see results if you have mixed skin and prompt to acne. It hasn’t caused any breakouts and I ussualy get acne after using a new product on my skin.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve really been liking this cleanser so far. It helps control excess oil, leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed, and works well on breakout prone areas. My skin feels smoother with consistent use, and while it can feel a little strong at first, overall it’s been great for helping manage acne

    A gentle but effective daily salicylic acid cleans

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The texture of this cleansing gel is lightweight and easy to work with. I love that the lather feels substantial enough to really clean my face but it doesn't leave that tight, dry feeling afterward. There is zero residue once you rinse, which is a huge plus for my morning routine. If you need a reliable Salicylic Acid wash with a great consistency, this is it.
