I have been using this since middle school and I'm in grad school now. If you have deep, stubborn, painful acne this stuff is the holy grail. Let it foam up nicely in your hands, apply it, and let it sit for a minute or two before rinsing. It really works! A couple of warnings - If you have sensitive/dry skin, this will irritate/dry you out! Start using it sparingly and rarely and gradually increa Jersey · ulta.com

I decided that I like using this cleanser as my morning cleanser because it doesn't lather and at night I like to use a cleansing balm followed by a gel cleanser that lathers to remove the day from my skin. Now having said that, I absolutely love this cleanser to start my day with. I find it very gentle and hydrating. It has a light citrusy botanical smell which I love and it's so easy to rinse of Alicia D. · beautycrew.com.au
