Breaking out more? Read this.
I used this product for 5-6 weeks and my face got worse, but finally I figured it out. Treat this cleanser like medicine, use it morning and night, rub it on your face and count to at least 20 while you do so. My theory is this: it's kinda like when you take antibiotics, but not all of them, you ki...

Not as good as it use to be

Accidental purchase turned into regular product!!
I accidentally bought this since it looks similar to the murad mattifying moisturizer I use. Well since I've been using this 2 weeks and its gotten rid of my stubborn acne I double cleanse with my cerave face wash for oily skin and then use the murad wash then follow with moisturizer. Im 24 and still struggle with hormonal and stubborn acne and this has already almost completely gotten rid of everything!!! Helloo to clear skin days and confidence< 3
Not sure if it has helped with break outs
Smells good lots of lather
Great for Dry, Sensitive Skin
Perfect balance of cleansing the skin without causing dryness like most facial cleansers
It burned my face
My skin is painful and super dry after using this cleanser. I have red/burned spots under my eyes
Great Results - it's a keeper
I purchased this for my teenage son. He's having the typical teenage hormonal acne, but it's kind of bad. He's dealing with it on his face as well as his back. Within the first week we saw improvements. Even in the first few days, the swelling and redness were instantly soothed, and the swelling and irritation definitely went down. As he's continued to use it, we are definitely seeing results!
