    This is my holy grail face wash. I have discovered all of the chemicals in acne washes (like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and sulfates) provide a temporary fix, but end up causing...

    I have gotten many samples of this facewash. It is not a terrible facewash.. But it is not the best. It feels like the cetaphil facewash. For the price I do not think it is worth it.

    I'm loving this right now- it is gentle enough for my extremely dry and sensitive winter skin, yet still strong enough to get makeup off. I would rate it a notch above cetaphil in the de-griming...
