Good mix of ingredients to cleanse the skin, minimise pores and reduces the amount of breakouts I have. Nice smooth gel texture and easy to apply. Soothes my sensitive skin and not greasy with natural ingredients like thyme, aloe, chamomile. Mildly hydrating and refreshing and evens skin texture after a few weeks of daily use.

Product longevity4.5
I’ve used this for years daily and haven’t found another that both gently removes my makeup and also cleanses my skin without drying it out. It lays for absolutely ages as you need the tiniest amount even to remove a full face of makeup. I actually dispense it into a smaller pot as I find I don’t need a full pump and that helps me use it even slower. Probably lasts me well over a year for the larg Beck1518 · spacenk.com
