First try
First time trying this cleanser, it works pretty well. Gentle enough to be used daily, I switch between this and the clear line (clear line cant be used daily).

Perfectly balanced foaming cleanser
Loves this! Was using the optimal hydrating cleanser (which indeed does leaves my skin feeling softer n more hydrated than this) but i find its bit too much for slightly oily skin. This cleanser is gentler, though not as hydrating but it does makes my pores seem visibly smaller!
