“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
