“Matcha Hemp Hydrating Cleanser”
This product works by removing dirt and oil from the surface of the skin. It uses a combination of mild cleansing agents (coco-betaine, coco-glucoside, methyl gluceth-10, xanthan gum) and should be able to cleanse the skin gently. Still keep in mind that any cleansing can disrupt the skin barrier, and most people do not need to cleanse their skin more than once per day.
Even though this formulation is mild, the following cleansing agents could trigger an irritation or allergy for some people: coco-betaine, coco-glucoside

its not that bad of a cleanser but i feel like there are much better cleansers out there for much cheaper
My skin is normal to combination, I use the product as a second step cleanser so I don't know if it removes make up. It's quite pleasant when you apply it (quite a slippery feeling and you don't need a lot!). I'm not bothered by the smell tbh, it comes from the original ingredients. It's reeeaaaally moisturising, and doesn't feel stripping at all, you feel so comfortable it's almost as if you didn't wash your face. My only issue with it is that it's so moisturising that I wake up next morning feeling a bit greasy. Not too much but it's something that happens to me every time something is very moisturising, don't know why. I'd definitely recommend.
A fun textured cleanser but at the end of the day not particularly note worthy for the price. The smell was also slightly off putting to me.
