Reviews Summary
Customers say this cleanser effectively clears breakouts and blackheads without overdrying their skin. Users appreciate its gentle formula that leaves skin feeling clean, soft, and refreshed. Many mention it works well for oily and acne-prone skin, helping control excess oil and prevent future breakouts. Common feedback includes its effectiveness for double cleansing and makeup removal. Several customers note they've repurchased multiple bottles and use it as part of their daily routine. While most find it gentle enough for daily use, some mention it can be slightly drying and requires follow-up moisturizing. A few users dislike the scent, describing it as chemical-like, though most find it fragrance-free or barely noticeable.

    Great product

    I started to get acne on my cheeks and was struggling to find anything strong enough to clear it. Using this as one step in my double cleansing routine has really helped to get my acne under control without overdrying.

    Only issue is I really hate the smell, it's like a chemical coffee scent which is the only reason I removed a star
