I love this cleanser because it removes my make up completely in one wash. It also removes all the oil from a day out without drying out my skin. It's great for sensitive skin and does not break me...

Overrated hype over a substandard cleanser fabricated by stores like Mecca to get people buying. Honestly people, it's not that good. Yes it removes most of your makeup (not all mind you)....
