Favorite Ckeanser EVER

I, like many, have tried (and continue to try) a plethora of different cleansers, yet I always come back to this one. It is superior at removing foundation effectively without over-stripping or compromising my skin barrier. (I’m in my late 50’s with combination skin that leans sensitive.) My 22-year-old son also loves this cleanser and has used it for years.

Amazing quality cleanser

I went back to this cleanser after what I know now and am from my discovery of skin care, exprience, and hands on experiments. I remember it working well and making my skin feel so soft, I give this 4 stars because it works everywhere including my oily nose which is awesome but it leaves my cheeks looking a bit flat even with regular exfoliation mint renewal cleanser and cotton pads or ovals for the exfoliation side for regular exfoliation with this. It is really good, I just have found my entire face to respond best with nearly everything in skin 2 without fail compared to 3 especially and 4 which a couple things work for either here.

I give it 4 but I can't give it 5, I will save it or possibly trade it in or give it to someone else to try who is completely compatible.

Gonna go with the sheer moisture and new eye cream after that next.

Thanks everyone for what you do.

I can't fault the quality just my choices sometimes in customization

An absolute winner!!

I’d like to start by saying I loved this product so much I tried to bring it with me on vacation and an almost full bottle was confiscated from me at the airport 😭. So I’m on my second bottle and I absolutely love it! My skin is very sensitive, acne prone, and can be quite oily, with hormonal breakouts occurring like clockwork each month. I started using this wash, along with the elderberry toner and the Skin Recovery Lotion and my skin has never looked better. It’s more hydrated, less oily, and my breakouts have decreased, even around my period which is a huge win. I use this in combination with epiduo every other night which I had been using prior and the products get along great. I truly couldn’t recommend these products more! Thank you Renee!

Never thought I'd love a face wash!

This is my favorite face wash. I look forward to using it for the clean fresh feeling and the light refreshing scent. My husband loves it too and I have a backup now so we don't run out. It doesn't dry out my skin but it cleans really well to help keep my pores clear. I mostly have normal skin type but I have super sensitive skin and get dehydrated super easily and this cleanser doesn't irritate my skin at all, and it washes off clean in hard water. Also it does ok with makeup removal, but I recommend an oil cleanser first if you wear makeup or waterproof sunscreen like I do. It lasts us about 4 months with me using it twice a day and my husband using it several times a week.
