Review (5/5): I love this cleanser
I love this cleanser! It cleans gently yet effectively without any harsh detergents. It does contain both physical and chemical exfoliators in the form of jojoba beads and AHAs (glycolic, malic and lactic acids) and BHAs (salicylic acid). The jojoba beads feel like tiny little balls which eventually melt into the cleanser as you massage it onto your face. As they break down, they provide moisture to the skin along with the aloe and the glycerin in the formulation. It's important to use both physical and chemical exfoliation to get rid of dead skin cells and clean pores and it's nice to have both in one preparation.
I use it to clean my skin after makeup removal. I wet my face and use a quarter size amount and massage onto my face for about a minute. You can feel the beads start to get smaller/less numerous as you massage. I leave this on my face for another 1-2 minutes to allow the AHAs and BHAs to do their work, then rinse well with water. Skin feels very clean but not dry or stripped of natural oils. It has a pleasant, light citrus scent and the packaging it simple, yet elegant. Very happy I found this!
