      It’s a gentle exfoliation cleanser that works well to get rid of dead skin cells n help manage my menopausal acne hormonal flare ups but is gentle to the skin I’ve been using it for years now

      Hi Karunya! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your review. I'm sorry to hear about your experience with this cleanser. AHA/BHA Blemish Control Cleanser is recommended for skin types 1 & 3, our severe/consistent break-out skin types since it's our most powerful acne-fighting cleanser. However, as a skin type 2, your skin may enjoy the Rapid Response Detox Cleanser more. It's gentle enough for sensitive skin while still extremely pore-clearing!
      In the future, should you have any trouble with a product purchase, you're welcome to return the product to us in exchange for store credit to try another!

      Amazing

      I am 37 and have a 1 year old. Since I gave birth my face has been insanely broken out and full of cystic acne. Using this along with the cystic acne bump gel cleared up in my skin in DAYS!!!!! I am not even joking- I was shocked myself!
