Not your regular face wash
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. The left is the before and the right is the after. The face wash was nice and creamy. I did try it each way the influencer package said to. It made my skin feel great after because it didn't strip my skin of all my oils so I didn't feel the n...

I love using this cleanser
Easy, simple, effective cleanser! I used this every day for a week, and then every other day or so after to keep up on it. It's got a very pleasant texture and an easy squeeze tube, leaves my skin feeling soft and smelling clean!
Acne-Treating Paste
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like this acne paste. I haven't tried one before so this is my first time. It's such a cool thing to have a 3 in 1 as it's a cleanser, mask and spot treatment. The lather is nice and creamy when you use it. I like how it felt on my skin and how I was able to see some results after using it for awhile. It helped me clear up some blackheads
Skin never felt so good
I've been using this cleansing paste for a few weeks and really notice a difference in my skin. It feels gentle but still effective at reducing breakouts without leaving my face tight or dry. The texture is smooth and spreads easily, and a little goes a long way so the tube lasts. I also like that it has a light, fresh scent that isn't overwhelming. The packaging is simple and practical, easy to use without waste. Overall, a great balance between being effective and gentle, especially for sensitive acne-prone skin.

Very nice product
The Acne-Treating Cleansing Paste is gentle yet effective. It deeply cleanses without stripping, reduces breakouts, and leaves skin smoother and refreshed. With consistent use, it calms irritation and helps prevent new blemishes. A reliable daily skincare staple!
I would recommend this product to friends!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The wash is very gentle while effective on my skin and has helped with reduce any breakouts I had on my face. It's has a very soft texture and isn't too harsh on the skin. The scent wasn't strong either, and it's a good product for the price and worth getting. The packaging was also very simplistic and straightforward on how to use the wash.
