Review (5/5): Found my Dream Cleanser!
For the longest time I couldn't understand what the big deal was with cleansers, since they're not on your face for that long in comparison to other treatments and lotions. Then I watched Gothamista's videos on Youtube and started to understand their importance, and decided to give this one a try because of its ph balance of 5. Let me tell you, it's absolutely fantastic! I use it as a second-step cleanser. It leaves my skin feeling the cleanest and most balanced it's ever felt, even compared to getting a facial. My initial reaction was utter shock and disbelief because my skin looked and felt like it did when I was 22 (I'm now 30). It has a luxurious honey scent, lathers beautifully, and it prepares my skin to allow my toner, treatment serum and moisturizer to fully absorb and work their magic. This is the first cleanser I've used with which I don't wake up the next day with an oily film or residue on my skin, because it has been well-prepped and cleansed. From the very first try, it did not dry out my skin like most cleansers do, even the ones that claim to be "gentle". It's very hydrating and balancing, and I believe reduces inflammation too, which is something I've been trying to deal with for years.
