    Meh

    Too drying for me and personally don't like fragrance in skincare products. Since the fragrance is in a wash off product I don't mind it as much but still better safe than sorry.

    The first few times I used this product, it felt fine on the skin after rinsing it off. Unfortunately for me, my skin started to feel tight and stripped after a week of use which is not a good sign for a cleanser. This just wasn't for me.

    I liked it until I found out what's in it

    I prefer clean products so I was disappointed to learn this had menthol alcohol in it. I did use it and did not feel it was very effective. Roche Posay has other clean products that I would recommend!

    For Oily Skin Only, it works Great, Strong Scent!

    It has a Perfume scent to it which bothered my sinuses, but I needed something for my oily skin and acne. It flowed on smoothly- gel composition, I found it stung a bit around my nose and cheeks so I washed it off quickly. I was a slight bit red but the irritation about a half hour. However, it did make my pores look smaller and took the dirt and oil out of them, which I was hoping for. I only used it once due to the irritation and if they take the perfume out- I'll definitely buy that one!

    Disappointing

    Due to hormonal reasons, my skin was crazy out of control. I was advised to use this as our local dermatologist recommends it. While it smelled nice, and certainly made the skin feel nice, it did nothing to prevent or treat my blemishes. I had to go back to using my previous product a week and a half later in conjunction with this product. I still use it as I have quite a bit left but when it’s done, I will not be buying it again.
