Here we go to my take on the product -

My thoughts 🌸

  • Oh, I love this! So much that I’ve repurchased this cleanser about 3 times and have recommended to people around (when they ask, obviously! 😂).

  • I started using this when my skin became extremely dry. This helped my skin get back that lost moisture.

  • Just does what a cleanser is supposed to do - it just keeps your skin cleaaaan (like it should!).

Backstory 🌸

One of the times I had a breakout, I was predominantly using a salicylic acid cleanser that I had. After a few days, I noticed that my skin was getting really dry. Like really really dry (my skin type is combination and this came as a surprise). I learnt that salicylic acid can dry your skin and that was both, helping and irritating my skin. That’s when I came across this product. I started using this cleanser and the other one alternatively. Oh, and this pair was an instant hit! 😂

Would I repurchase? 🌸

You already know my answer 😬

Yesss!!! Till I find another amazing cleanser as this one.

How much would I rate this product, you ask? 🌸

5/5 (Would have cut a 0.5 for their “meh” packaging earlier. But right now, that’s sorted too!)

So tell me tell me, would you buy? 💜
