Having acne prone skin since the age of 15 has made me an expert in skincare. I've tried many cleansers in my life, from expensive to cheap ones. I've tried "gentle" to ones that claimed jesus himself would wipe those pimples away but just ended up irritating my skin. I love this cleanser because its a good state cleanser. Its like a reliable fried you know will always be there for you. It's gentle but at the same time it get rid of all my oils and nasty crap that gets stuck in my pores. It has a nice scent and it balances my skin's ph. I recommend for a gentle cleanser thats a failsafe.
