    This is an over-hyped cleanser. I am a bit of a skincare junkie and heard so many good things about this cleanser on Youtube. I went into Ulta and bought the 8 Oz version for $24, which is way too...

    What I love about this product is that it really reduces breakouts. Skin was overall matte through out the day. But it does makes the area around my nose dry. I really hate the snap-cap (don't know...

    This is a terrible cleanser. It is not for sensitive skin. It dried my skin out and my face started peeling around my eyes and nose.
