Review: very good imo but everyone’s skin is diff. use ur spf!!! - its expensive in my opinion, but i haven’t had a face wash work so good for me in a long time. i also added a toner and exfoliant into my routine after switching to this face wash, and my skins never been clearer. its thick and suds up very nicely, lasts me a few weeks/a month of washing at least once daily cuz of its 6.7🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ ounces. other face washes i’ve used would leave me so sensitive after washing but this once feels like it really works without leaving my feeling raw and burning. make sure to use moisturizer and spf during the sun hours or else this wash is for nothing😁

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helps with clogged pores
*by G***Y on June 24, 2026*

Lightweight.. gives a tingly feeling but I like it! I usually use this twice a week and when I am not, I use my Simple Refreshing Cleanser. I have found it easier to incorporate this cleanser rather than an actual salicylic toner as sometimes it burns the skin. I use tretinoin 4 times a night and wanted a BHA. So far, this is the best option
