    Good cleanser for my oily face and also didn't cause breakout. No fragrance which is good for me, but i like hydralight texture more. Skin balancing has a bit milky texture than hydralight.

    No. I was going to give this more of a chance just to be sure, but no. I got this with other products and of course samples, so it's always hard to know what's causing what because I'm too...

    This is an amazing cleanser. It is gentle and doesn't make my skin tight, but does a great job at removing my daily makeup. I would compare it to the gentleness of Cetaphil, but a little more...
