PROMISING REVIEW
"Started purchasing this about 2 years ago and haven't switched to a different cleanser since!! Honestly nothing compares, this formula is high powered and effective! Best to ease into it (start with every other day maybe) if you have sensitive skin, but I didn't need to! This has really helped even out my skin tone and make my face GLOW! I can't fathom a day when I will ever switch to a different cleanser. This one really is the best (and I've tried a LOT)"
