Rated 2 out of 5 by from Made my skin so dry Started using this and it just made my skin extremely flaky and it also caused me to break out on my chin and not on my usual spot (my cheeks)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Oily, spotty prone skin. I have now been using this product for 3.5 years. When I was first gifted a bottle I was dubious as to whether it would work. But I can honestly hand on heart say, for me this stuff is amazing. I use to suffer with so many breakouts and these were little. These were massive cyst type spots, that I would struggle to get rid of, since using this along with the moisturiser I no longer suffer with these, occasionally I will get a small spot, but nothing like I use too. The smell and the feel of the product is great. I honestly could not live without this, greatest thing about this now is the refill packs, makes it even more cost effective.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Consistent fave. Won't use another cleanser, gentle, no scent, foams and so so effective. And a fab price as it lasts months and months.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from My skin looks awful I bought this two months ago and for the first couple of weeks my skin was FLAWLESS. However it is now the worst it has ever been in my entire life with red spots everywhere and i dont know what to do. If you have sensitive skin I do not recommend

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Cleanser. Cleanser burned my skin & I ended up with baggy eyelids & under eyes. Parts of my face scabbed up also. Think it may have been to harsh for my skin.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great! This made my skin feeling amazing, I found though I only need to use it 2-3 times a week otherwise it would dry my skin out too much but on the whole it really balances your skin so it not so oily & feels smooth. The only other thing to add is that for the first 3 months it will make your spots come out but after that it calmed down a lot & paired with the effaclar duo+m moisturiser is a dream - my skin is so clear now, best buy after years of trying different products for my acne prone skin.
