    This is a horrible product. My parents first bought it for me a few years ago, so I tried it out. The wash left my face with an awful rash, and I was itchy for days. I then bought another bottle,...

    I like the scent to this produce. I prefer the foaming version though because the cream version doesn't later that nicely. It leaves my skin feeling really clean and doesn't irritate or overdry. It...

    I once used this cleanser when I was in high school and I sweared it dehydrated my skin and made things 2 times worse at least. I think it has long term negative effect on my skin.

    i have combo skin and this cleanser stripped the moisture right out of it after the first wash, it's one of the most drying cleansers i've tried. i do not recommend this cleanser to anyone.

    I didn't like it at all and certainly didn't get any good out of it but dry and very tight-feeling skin very time I applied it to my face.
