Cream cleanser
This is such a good cleanser! It calms my rosacea and my sensitive skin and clears up my face. It is never drying my skin doesn’t feel right or dry after because of the rich creamy formula. I’d give this ten stars if I could. Perfect everyday use. Not sure why it’s called a gel when it’s a cream And a perfect cream at that!

Great for oily and acne prone skin
Great for acne prone and oily skin! Proven by myself and my husband! Both of us love this and have tried many brands of face wash. This is the best one by far due to its specific formula. Please do not ever change it.

great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The spot treatment was very good, I used it before i put on my regular face moisturizer. The face wash was very moisturizing and I did not receive any type of break out when i was using it. These products was overall pretty good.

Good for treating mild acne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked this product because it helps me control the production of oil on my face, leaves it clean, deflated and is gentle on your skin. With continued use you notice the changes as it helps you to

Non-drying salicylic acid cleanser
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this isn't a silver bullet for acne (very little is!), it's a great option for a gentle salicylic acid cleanser that won't feel stripping.

Broke my face out in rash.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the face wash twice, and on the third use my face broke out in a rash that my doctor classified as “angioedema” and “contact dermatitis” within the span of an hour from using it. Hopefully it will work better for someone else!
