"I really enjoy the texture and satisfying lather that this cleaner provides. I like to use it in the morning before my facial routine rather than at night because it doesn't fully remove my eye makeup. Still, it leaves my face feeling refreshed, and I appreciate that it’s unscented. I look forward to continuing to buy this in the future!"
— Elizabeth W. (5/5)
