    It does feel drying however it doesn't bother me - I use a moisturiser right after anyway. I don't have acne prone skin; used it as preventative purpose. Will re-purchase.

    Why so much hate for this? It's not the cleanser's fault that your skin is getting dried up, it's the salicylic acid. I started using salicylic acid in a very low concentration in a moisturizer....

    I like to use this as a morning cleanser but not to treat acne. Def not an acne treater but I like that it leaves my skin super clean.

    This product does remove oil and dirt and most of my blackheads and whiteheads have disappeared. However, this left my skin very dry and flaky. Considering I have very sensitive skin, I thought...

    In simple words, no face cleanser should EVER dry out your skin to the point where it gets itchy, that's just absurd. This happened to me, my chin and neck were itchy AND red AND flaky. I thought...

    This face wash is just disappointment in a bottle. It dried my skin out (thankfully, not as much as it possibly could have), it's harsh, it doesn't feel like it does anything, and as far as acne...

    This didn't break me out or anything, but this completely dried my face out! Stripped my face of oils completely! I would only recommend this for VERY, VERY oily skin. Will not repurchase.

    I have regular skin, but I do occasionally break out on my forehead because of my bangs. This works. I use it daily on my whole face, and have never noticed any drying-out.
