description

A gel consisting of a non-foaming formula that thoroughly removes impurities without drying the skin. Its papaya and grapefruit extracts contain exfoliating properties that help to remove the build-up which is the cause of blackheads and pimples. The gel lessens skin irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Its oil-free, non-lathering gel makes cleansing fuss-free.

Whilst searching for a good papaya-enzyme cleanser (more natural than 'Likas Papaya' soap which works well but isn't all that great for the skin's PH) I stumbled upon this. The concentration of Papaya...Read more

One of the worst cleansers I have tried. Very strong artificial fragrance. Also, it barely removes makeup and/or sunscreen. Is very good at stinging your eyes though. Does this also have dye in it? Hu...Read more

I've used this for a couple of months, but I haven't noticed any difference with my skin. Feels kinda clean, but I had really high expectations on this one.

I know it shouldn't matter but I hate the way this smells. It's a really thick cleanser too.

This cleanser smells really bad and once I washed my face it stayed on my skin. It also did not make my skin feel clean.
