The formula is very weird. It felt funny on my face, almost tingly (no, I didn't have any kind of reaction to it, i used for a long time), not cleansing at all (my face felt and looked like I had put nothing but water on it), no matter the amount of product I put on my face it seemed like it couldn't spread on my face (I don't know how else to describe this). It also felt quite oily so I wouldn't recommend on oily skin.
It was okay. I think it does cleanse my skin, but not deep enough. It does lessen my acne but I still have breakouts but not as often. This product is suitable to those who want to start to treat their skin (for those who have really bad skin like me). But you need to switch to better cleanser eventually. Maybe there's an exception to those who have extremely sensitive skin.
It saved my skin. I have incredibly reactive-dry and combination skin. This product is been the ONE that works after trying hundreds. My skin doesn't react and has a nice hydrated feeling just after cleansing it.
LOVE IT!
I strongly recommend using it in the shower, and in order to avoid epidermal water loss, slightly dry the face with a clean towel and immediately apply a minimal ingredient moisturizer. In my case, I've been using La Roche Possay Cicaplast Baume B5. This last ingredients, as it's occlusive, maintains the hydration in the deep layers of my skin and let me have a healthy-looking and without clogged pores-skin.
The combination of this two ones is simply lovely. It's a great way to protect a reactive, acne prone skin, by cleaning it very gently, keeping the moisture, using anti-bacterial actives and getting a repairing feeling.
