“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.” — CharlieCC · spacenk.com

Texture & foaming action4.7
“Texture:Creamy cleanser that turns into a light foam. Not harsh and easy to rinse off. Doesn’t leave that tight or squeaky clean feeling after washing. Effectiveness:I noticed fewer small bumps and less breakouts with regular use. It feels gentle enough for daily use but still does its job. Using this as my daily face wash and I like it so far. Texture is creamy and foams nicely, not too harsh. Ea” — brant17 · shopee.ph
