OMG! IN LOVE... MIRACLE WORKER
I originally went in for another product and ended up leaving with this. I have EXTREMELY dry and sensitive skin, lately I've been under an immense amount of stress so have been breaking out worse then I ever have in my life!

Economical, Derm Recommended, Works Great
My dermatologist recommended I use a glycolic cleanser - this is the best I've found! Here's why: cost-effective, only need a small amount, works great. Nothing I don't like about it!!
My eyes!
Holly heck! This stuff needs a big warning label saying don't use on your face. During my full face rinse, after washing, I've gotten tiniest residue in my eyes. It burns so bad! This is going in the trash!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
I have used this for years. It leaves my skin soft and radiant and doesn't dry out my already dry skin. I use this 2-3 times a week for dull, mature skin.
Damage skin
This was the worst skin care that I have ever purchased, my skin is totally damage, irritated and burn… it is so bad, that I can't use any other than Vaseline.
happy with results
I usually use this after I've removed my makeup with the cleansing oil. I like that it leaves a very clean feel to my skin without drying or tightness. It also rinses off well.
