Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love this This has been working great for me after my previous favorite cleanser from another company was reformulated. I hope they never change the formula on this. Love it!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Strong smell, cleans well Great cleanser, I bought after doing some research to see what might help with my acne outbreaks. Skin feels so clean and pores looks great after use, like shiny and tight type of clean. Removes makeup well. My only complaint is the smell is quite strong and floral. It was very off putting at first and I had to power through using a couple times before I could almost tolerate it. I'd expect a cleanser to be less fragrant and wish it were a different type of smell if anything.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from If you have an oily skin definitely buy this! I love this product so much! Makes my face feel nice and clean, and shiny! Would definitely buy again. One thing i would mention is that definitely put some moisturizer after washing because it made me have dead and dry skin but overall its a great product!

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Pore clogging ingredient Second ingredient is Sodium Laureth Sulfate which has a comedogenic rating of 3.0. Might be good for some people but it clogged my pores so I am disappointed.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from left me with patches of dry, flaky skin I have the oiliest skin ever (I mean seriously so oily) and have been struggling with decently bad acne for a couple months and really wanted to try this out. I typically use the purifying toleriane cleanser and love it, but I needed something to help more with my acne and oily skin. I have been using for about 5 days and the skin around my mouth and nose is flaking off so terribly. I use about 3 layers of moisturizer to try and combat the dryness but by midday my makeup around my mouth and nose is flaking off because my skin is so dry. I will absolutely go back to the purifying cleanser and toss this because I cannot even talk without feeling the uncomfortable feeling of dry skin around my mouth. I have a patch of rashy skin on my neck and behind my ear. I have not changed anything in my skincare routine for months except the addition of this cleanser. I have not really seen any improvement in my acne but I have only been using for a couple days so too early to speak on that aspect.
