Reviews
I love this cleanser makes my skin smooth brighter and clean definitely repurchasing after it’s done ❤️
I have been really pleased with this cleanser- I have seen some great results in my skin texture and clarity already.
It’s gentle enough not not strip the barrier but clean/clear out the pores and smooth texture. Great product
Gently cleans, exfoliates, skin feels incredibly soft and looks beautifully clear. My kids and I have been using for years. It’s on auto ship…can’t live without it!
I use this face wash everyday and has worked for me to control breakouts .
I’m giving this 3-stars because I think it could be a good product for others. Unfortunately for me it broke me out in a rash and clusters of breakouts that haven't gone away yet. I would not recommend if you have sensitive skin and are acne prone.
Hi Samantha! Thank you so much for leaving your review and sharing your experience with the AHA/BHA Blemish Control Cleanser! I'm sorry it wasn't the perfect match you were hoping for. Instead, it may have been too strong of an acne fighter for you. As a Skin Type 4, we recommend trying the Purifying Face Wash! It's also not uncommon to experience a purging period when introducing new exfoliating acids into your routine. Renée talks about purging in this blog post > https://blog.reneerouleau.com/skin-purging/
Luckily, you're still well within the return window, so you're welcome to send this cleanser back in exchange for something else! In addition, I've asked our esthetician, Lexi, to reach out to you directly to set up a consultation to review your current routine and skin goals!
