description

A foaming gel face wash is ideal for removing excess oil, dirt, and makeup. When choosing a facial cleanser for normal to oily skin, it’s important to look for a formula that's gentle, won’t disrupt your skin’s natural protective barrier (which can leave skin feeling dry or tight), and contains ingredients that help maintain its moisture balance.

This is a good cleanser that is inexpensive. Don't let the packaging fool you. It may look boring or simple, but it has a lot going for it than other cleansers. Plus the size is great (the one I...

Burned my eyes and skin badly after washing for hours. Did not foam much and didn't feel like it got all my sunscreen and makeup off. Will never buy again.

This cleanser is really good if you love gel-like cleansers, but want one that's not overly harsh. A small blob cleans the skin well. It's also fragrance free and fairly affordable. It's by far...

I've only used it a few times so maybe I'm being unfair but so far it doesn't seem to be that good for my oily skin. I guess I need something that will strip the oil a bit more without drying me...

Good cleanser! Perfect amount of cleansing power, but doesn't leave face feeling tight and dry.
