The cleanser has no scent, simple packaging, and texture is similar to snail mucin. It does work well enough to cleanse the face. I would recommend trying.

I have dry skin with occasional breakouts. It cleanses well, but it's nothing special. It has minimal lather and a runny gel texture.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
