Gentle Skin Cleanser

I’ve been using it over the last 3-4 months morning & night. I have combo skin and get bad breakouts which is why I decided to try as my skin can become very dry in some areas and extremely oily in others. I have noticed that the cleanser doesn’t hydrate my skin very well and my face does tend to feel rather dry after use. It does however help control the oils in my skin a little straight after use. I would recommend it as it is a decent cleanser but I definitely believe there are better alternatives out there.

i got this cleanser recently, wanting a gentle cleanser for my skin as some soaps make my skin very red due to my dry skin, i also got this as ive been seeing it recommended a lot, and wanted to try it out as it was on sale when i bought it, unfortunately i found it was a waste of money and i wish i just got my regular cetaphil cleanser, i found this cleanser made it hard to take my makeup off, as well as my eye makeup when it says it does on the bottle. it also gave my skin a shiny feeling which i didnt like and i also found i needed to use a lot of it to get a result.

I wanted to post this PSA because I've seen loads of people asking why they are having an allergic reaction on their faces and quite often they all cite this cleanser as part of their beauty routine. I used this cleanser (and loved it!) for about six months. I even had the most adorable tiny travel version that I kept in my carry on, gym bag and purse. One day, out of the blue, I got the weirdest rash on my facea and hands. I was sure it was something in my skincare but it couldn't be my gentle cleanser so I started removing other products one by one to find the culprit. My rash just kept getting worse so I washed my face more and more often for the 'soothing properties'. Eventually I found a forum where a few people had developed a sensitivity to this soap after months or years of using it! I immediately stopped using this cleanser and the rash started to go away. I absolutely Holly grail loved it while it laster but I just thought people should know that you absolutely can develop an allergy to this particular cleanser and it is more common than you think. Such a shame...
