Best face wash EVER!!
I have tried countless face washes/skin care brands and this is the only one that's ever made a difference. I have super sensitive, acnetic skin and this stuff literally clears me up over night without any stripping or tightness. There hasnt been a single product from this brand that i havent loved. They'll get my money for life 🙏🏼

I tried super hard to love this cleanser but it made me breakout so bad. used it for a month then got huge painful cystic acne on my chin, and they're hard to get rid of.
