We love this for all skin types looking for a mild active cleanser to provide gentle exfoliation with brightening properties.
How you wash your face lays the foundation for your entire skincare regimen. Well-cleansed skin is more able to drink in vital nutrients, therefore boosting the efficacy of every other product you apply to your face.
Apply to dry skin, dampen your fingers with warm water, and massage using a circular motion for two full minutes. Avoid the eye area. Rinse with warm water or remove with a warm Lush cloth. Follow with your favorite toner, serum, and moisturizer. Be sure to apply SPF in the AM.

I've used this cleanser before and bought it again. I don't love the smell but it does leave my skin feeling very clean without stripping or drying out my skin.

Love this stuff! My facial lady recommended this to me, and I have bought it multiple times. My face is brighter and happy! I use this in combination with the glycolic face wash by Glymed and it's the perfect combination for me. I will definitely buy again and again!

I love the light scent and the way this foams, can be drying if used too often or lathered longer than a few minutes. Unfortunately it did not prevent my breakouts so I am going to try something different.

I use this in the PM as my 2nd cleanse after removing makeup/sunscreen. It has definitely made a difference on my acne. I was skeptical that cleansers really make a difference but I’m glad I was wrong.

I needed a break from Face Reality Gentle Cleaner. I have oily combo skin and this has been a nice daily cleaner. The little acid bump is just what my skin needs.
