Complimentary from origins. Whenever I get a facial, I'm always told my pores are extremely congested and blocked, even without visible acne. I keep being told to try different things to unblock the pores. I sweat and workout a lot so it's a challenge. This is making a difference. I'm shocked.
Love this face wash!
