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.

    The first few weeks of trying out this product was awesome-my skin was visibily more radiant and a lot of my acne scars seemed to have lightened up. But then I noticed that my pores were getting...

    This soap dried my face out after a couple uses. I much prefer the seaweed cleansing soap.
