Pros:

Gentle cleanser, doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts. Makes my skin feel Soft and clean.

Cons:

Kind of pricy

I love it but I kind of wish if was fragrant free (smells good, it would just be nice to know that I'm not putting fragrant chemicals on my face)

Pros:

- Helps control oiliness of skin
- Is quite gentle
- Smells lovely

Cons:

- Expensive
- Did not make much of a difference to severity of acne
- Made skin feel tight

I have sensitive, combination oily skin, with loads of pimples on my forehead and the areas around my nose, but none on my cheeks and chin. I used this for over a year but it definitely did not work much for me. It did get rid of some pimples, but it really didn't make much of a difference. It didn't cause any flaking or peeling, but it made my skin feel a bit tight after washing. However, it did make my skin a bit less oily throughout the day, and did not cause any reaction, which is saying something as I have very sensitive skin which turned red and stings with almost every other product I've tried. It also smells amazing! I actually stood there and smelt it for almost a minute once hahaha. Basically, I think it is worth a try, if: - you are willing to spend the money - the severity of your acne is only very light to moderate. Hope this helps, good luck! :)
