This gel is amazing for oily and acne prone skin. I tried many cleanser for oily skin and I think this is a top 1. It mattifies very well and refresh the skin. Don't use it if your skin is not much oily.

I love this cleanser, on the days I don't feel like taking my makeup off this cleanser comes to the rescue and does not leave a trace of makeup on my skin. It does not dry out my skin especially since I have acne-prone skin. Highly highly recommend!!

Personally, my experience with this product as a person with dry sensitive skin was not pleasant. I felt it was too harsh for my skin and furthered skin irritation. I do not recommend it for someone with dry, sensitive skin.

The best face wash for an oily skinnn I'm just in love withh

This is one of my favourite brands! Have been using it for couple of months and gotta admit it makes my acne prone skin better it helps in making the skin smoother!!
