What the gurus are saying

This cleanser leaves skin drier than you'd expect from its hydrating ingredients, which catches people off guard. It's thick and sticky to rinse off, and while it does cleanse effectively, the results feel less dramatic than the formula suggests, most of the visible improvement comes simply from having a clean face rather than from the product itself working overtime.

"Oddly, [...] despite all these hydrating factors and the gumminess of it and how hard it was to wash off, I found it was pretty drying compared to most cleansers. [...] The scent [...] is more of like a pink lemonade raspberry. [...] I hated the experience with it because it was so messy and so difficult to wash off. It's just work. Unless you do this in the shower, it's probably really impractical to use to be honest."

"I've been using this for maybe like two weeks now. This soap is fine. It's fine. Again, this is one of those products where it can't just be an effective skincare product. There has to be something visually appealing about it that can make it go viral online. [...] It's like, let's just do this bubble gum texture and say it's lifting stuff out of your skin. Again, it's not bad. I didn't, it's not bad in any way. Does my skin look clearer after? Yes, but I feel more so because I've just cleansed."
