Bought for my 11 year old who is getting oily and starting to get a few "whiteheads" in the T-zone. Seems just OK, but I am not buying expensive stuff for her yet. Not awesome and not awful.

This is just ok for me. It cleanses well but my I see dots of oil on my skin soon after washing. I do feel it pulls gunk out of the pores and helps to clear the skin by getting the junk out. I...
