"I love this cleanser! The consistency is creamy and it lathers into a nice base. You Only need 1 pump for the whole face. Your face looks and feels so smooth after even 1 use! I use it in the morning before my vitamin c serum and eye creams, and in the evening before my retinol."
"I love this cleanser, it helps even out my skin tone, smooths rough areas and controls oily areas. I have some sun damage on my forehead and I even think it has helped with the roughness of that area."
"I have been really impressed with this skin resurfacing lactic acid cleanser because it leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed without any tight or stripped feeling. The formula is gentle but effective and gives a light exfoliation while still feeling hydrating and comfortable for daily use. After a couple of weeks I noticed my skin looked brighter and more even with an overall healthier glow. It has helped improve texture and soften the look of fine lines without causing any irritation which is important for my skin. This feels like an easy upgrade to my routine and a product that delivers consistent visible results without being harsh."
"At first, I wasn't thrilled with this cleanser. Honestly, I continued using it because it was too pricey to throw it away. I am so thankful I kept using it. I noticed a huge change in my skin within the first two weeks. This product makes my skin smoother and my pores do not look as large. My esthetician told me my skin was looking great! I'll never stop using it."
"I was recommended this cleanser during a facial for my 45th birthday - over a year later I can wholeheartedly recommend for skin starting to show signs of age! This cleanser is gentle on my skin but very effective. Skin is smoother and feels hydrated and bright."
"I really enjoy using this cleanser. It leaves my skin feeling very clean, fresh, and smooth without making it feel dry or tight. The texture feels lovely on the skin, and it has a really pleasant scent that makes using it feel a bit like a spa experience. After rinsing, my skin always feels soft, refreshed, and polished. It’s definitely a cleanser I look forward to using and one I would happily continue purchasing."
"Makes my face feel soft and clean."
"This is the creamiest, most wonderful skin cleanser I’ve ever used"
"Love this, my skin is noticably smoother and my pores are smaller since beginning this 3 months ago."
"Once I figured out that it actually lathers so it thins out a little bit for your face my face loves it, but if you do not lather it enough, then you’re putting the straight cream on your face, and it can cause some major irritation. It really packs upon you literally only need one pump. ! but it’s fantastic and leaves your face baby soft."
