Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
The milky texture cleanses without tightness or stripping, making it a standout choice for anyone with dry or irritated skin, even after procedures like lasers or peels. The main tradeoff: it doesn't foam much, so those who rely on lather for a satisfying clean may want to look elsewhere. One reviewer found it a straightforward glycerin cleanser, nothing more.
