I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it
Helped slowly clear & calm my skin. This face wash has a milky/ loose texture. It doesn’t really suds up. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it either.

CHEMICAL BURNS
This product left chemical burns on my 14 year old’s face and neck. She’s still in various stages of healing a week later. She woke with her eyes sealed shut by crust for the first few days. Her skin was painful and seeping. After a week, her skin is all peeling off. 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Very smooth cleanser. It really works.
I was surprised at how well this cleaned given how thin it comes out. I was even more surprised by how smooth and soft it made my skin feel. I’ve had issues with my skin since turning 30, and this is a really good daily cleanser. The product smells very good.

I’ve been using the Differin Daily Deep Cleanser for a few weeks, and it’s made a big difference in my skin. It cleans really well without over-drying, and it helps control oil while keeping my skin smooth and clear. I like that it has benzoyl peroxide but still feels gentle and doesn’t irritate my face. It lathers nicely and leaves my skin feeling super fresh. Definitely great for acne-prone or sensitive skin!

Great daily face cleanser. I always apply lotion to my face after using this cleanser, as it can make my skin dry. I love that this cleanser is unscented, and the packaging prevents any leakage.
