Leesville· Jan 2023Recommends
I adore this cleanser. I have sensitive skin as I use tret and this is my go to gentle but effective cleanser yet it feels so indulgent. It doesn’t irritate my skin at all. It is a balm texture (I wouldn’t describe it as a butter). It turns to an oil like texture on meeting the skin. I highly recommend.
