It’s a really nice texture and doesn’t strip the skin at all but I just didn’t find it cleansing enough, when I had dry irritated skin it was excellent but eventually I ended up getting a big acne problem and needed something better. I think it would I’ve a good gentle morning cleanser for some, I’ve since found a better one from Bioderma Sensibio line that comes in a pump packaging which I prefer for cleansers.
