Pretty good, doesn't irritate my skin, I used this for quite a while but I've recently found that it has been drying my skin out.

Works well with my combination skin. I like the way it foams and it feels like it cleans deep down. I use a moisturizer immediately after washing and it locks in moisture.

I have been trying to use this up for months and it just DOES NOT GO. So it's good for longevity but that's about it. Way too expensive for basically a sensitive face wash. Why on earth they say it's ...Read more

If you have an extremely oily acne-prone skin and you like foaming cleanser, I'd say, give it a go. But be careful not to use it too much as it can be really drying. For me, this is just not my cup of...Read more

It feels a bit dry (on the cheeks) if I use it in winter. When I have bad skin condition it irritates my eye area and my pimples.
