My views on the product

The packaging of this cleanser is pretty simple and classic. Nothing fancy at all. It does come with a pump which makes it convenient to pump out the required amount. I usually need half a pump for removing all the makeup and dirt.

I started using this cleanser back in February and till date I am using it every night to get rid of all the gunk on my face. The formula is creamy and very gentle on my sensitive skin. I apply this first with dry hands on dry face as I believe it works better that way in removing makeup. Then I massage it for a good one minute until it starts to dry a little bit. Then I splash water on my face and this cleanser turns into a milky texture and removes every trace of dirt and makeup from my face without leaving any greasy residue behind. It does not lather much which I believe is due to its soap free formula but I can feel that it is working deep down into my pores. It leaves my skin feeling fresh and visibly clean.

After rinsing, my face becomes a little dry but nothing a light moisturizer can't take care of. Also one down side of this cleanser is that it does not get rid of my water proof mascara. I do have to use a separate remover or my baby oil for that. But if you don't use waterproof mascara then this is indeed a one-step facial cleanser for you.

  

I would like to point out one thing that this cleanser is not fragrance free. It has a sort of herbal fragrance to it which is quite pleasant in my opinion but those with sensitive nose could find it bothering.
As far as my acne and marks are concerned, I don't think it has helped me with that but it does not claim to do so either. It has not broken me out and goes well with my extremely sensitive skin.

Good about the product

• Very gentle on the skin
• Did not break out my skin
• Pleasant fragrance
• Removes all the dirt and face makeup
• Does not strip my face of all the moisture

Bad about the product

• Does not remove waterproof mascara
• Smell could bother some
• Price is a little high
• Availability could be an issue

My ratings : 4/5

 

My recommendation?

I would recommend this to those who don't like to use too many products in their skin care routine or have sensitive skin.

Will I repurchase?

Yes... But it will take me another year and a half to run out of it.

Until next time

Stay beautiful:)
