Please never ever stop making this cleanser! I have only used it for a week, but the absolute turn around that my skin has made in that time is amazing! My normal skin type is oily and acne prone, but dehydrated. Since using Differin, my skin has become even more dehydrated, and flakey around my mouth and chin, but normal/mild oil on my forehead and mid face.

I don’t usually fall in love with face wash — I mean, it’s on my skin for 20 seconds and then goes down the drain. But Glossier’s Milky Jelly Cleanser? Oh, she’s different.

No tightness, no squeaky “I’ve just been stripped LenaKerrrysh · sephora.com
