Customer review: "Spa in a tub. This is my absolute holy grail first cleanse and I truly will never not repurchase this, it just goes on the skin like butter, melts away so effortlessly and smells divine. Personally well worth the price point just for the absolute satisfaction of using it! Works well to remove all traces of SPF and never leaves my skin feeling stripped of moisture (which is common for my very dry skin). 10000/10, always!"

Customer review: "I bought this cleanser a week ago and can already see improvements in my skin. I have combination oily skin and I feel it washes off all the dirt and excess oils without stripping my skin. The last cleanser I used was making my skin feel tight and dry. After I washed this cleanser off it makes my skin feels hydrated and soft. I like how I can wash my face with it dry or wet, depending on where I am, and it’s very easy to wash off and doesn’t leave a residue on my face."
