Have been using this cleanser for years! Gentle on the skin but still leaves my face clean. Doesn't dry my skin out or make it oily. Can't recommend enough.

Moisturizers

While it doesn’t reduce acne, definitely helps with dryness from various skin care products without adding to my acne. Wish I had this when I was on Accutane! Fragrance-free and doesn’t irritate my skin. Great for the winter months, especially!
