    Too drying

    Not sure how they can say this is for dry AND oily skin. It completely dries your skin out even while using the smallest amount. This left my skin feeling tight and dried out. I liked the smell of mint. It didn't burn my sensitive skin. I really wanted to like it but I need hydration or alteast something that doesn't dry out my skin. I like that it doesn't have all kinds of bad ingredients in it.

    If you have oily skin this would be great for you even if it's sensitive.

    My go-to cleanser

    I've been using this cleanser for a few years now. Any time I try something else I end up coming back to it. It's a good cleanser for removing oil without being overly harsh or stripping, which I appreciate for my combination skin. It is very foamy so a little goes a long way, and the scent an slight cooling sensation are very refreshing.

    Love This Cleanser!

    I've repurchased this cleanser quite a few times now, and have made it my go to daily cleanser. I find that it leaves my skin feeling super clean while not feeling dried out. The smell is also refreshing and not too strong. I haven't been getting any bad breakouts when using this in my skin care routine either. Love this and feel it is worth the higher price tag!

    If you love clean, youll love this

    I love the squeaky clean feeling this cleanser leaves. It is a super foamy cleanser that pairs perfectly with any cleansing tools. The only downside is the cost for what it is, however, I would still buy it.

    Squeaky clean

    It comes in an easy to use tube and I use it to wash my face along with my Luna. I apply a small amount to my wet face and rub it in in a circular motion and then use my Luna to get a deep clean. It works great for my combination skin, leaving my skin feeling clean, fresh and healthy. It works for all skin types and I recommend it as a daily face wash.

    My go to face wash

    This is by far my favorite face wash. I've tried so many brands, both cheap and expensive. This is decently priced and it 100% worth every penny. A little bit of this product goes a long way, so it lasts a long time. As soon as you wash it off, your face feels extremely clean and soft. I have combination skin. Which means I have very oily spots and very dry spots. This product balances it perfectly. Love.

    Leaves my face so clean!

    Bought a gift pack a few weeks ago that included this a few weeks ago. It has a minty scent which doesn't linger on the skin. A dime size amount is all you need to use, leaves my face feeling smooth and clean without any residue. I have very oily skin and this controls the oil without drying it out. I'll be ordering a full size bottle next time.

    How have I not known about this until now?

    I was in the market for a new face wash and was stumbling through Sephora looking at everything they had to offer. When I came across this I went back and forth, due to the price, but ultimately ended up deciding to give it a try. I am so glad that I bought this. This makes my skin feel so clean, smooth, and soft. It smells SO GOOD. It has a slight minty smell, but more on the sweet side so it is not over powering. It is actually quite a relaxing smell. I look forward to washing my face just so that I can use this. One of my biggest issues with face washes is when I wash my face and feel as though the product has left a film behind, this DOES NOT do that. I have been using this every morning to wash my face and still feel like there is at least half of the tube left after around two months of use. I love this so much I am definitely buying this again.

    So foamy and Clean!

    You barely need any product this foams up so well and after you wash you face it has a nice light scent. Your face feels soo clean. Like it says it is balanced and doesn't feel like you need a ton of product to wash your face this whole tube lasts a super super long time. It is so awesome one of my favorites.
