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

My husband and I both use this cleanser and regularly re-order it. I like that it gently foams and my skin feels lovely and clean, without feeling dry afterwards. We both use it twice a day. I find that when I do wear make-up it effectively removes all traces and my skin feels lovely and soft. You only need a small amount as a little goes a long way. Will continue to buy and would recommend. We no Sofabound · lookfantastic.com
