Became my main face wash. Only face wash I keep purchasing. After struggling with oily/dry skin, peeling skin and breakouts all the time I finally found this face wash that keeps my face clear. I use it once a day sometimes twice a day. It does dry your skin out so I recommend that if you’re not going to put something like lotion or moisturizer after using just to use it once a day.
