My experience:

I like this gel cleanser a lot. It comes in a 400 ml bottle which lasts me for a very long time. The bottle is coming with a pump which dispenses exactly the right amount of product in one push to wash my entire face and neck. The gel is light green in color and smells like flowers on a meadow. Very natural and neutral scent.

The gel formula is lathering up very well. What I enjoy so much about this product is that it doesn’t strip my skin of moisture. Instead, after rinsing it off, my skin is more balanced out than after any other products. I feel how smooth to the touch my skin gets and there is no squeakiness about it. I presume the famous salicylic acid is the reason it preforms so well on my skin. If I use it daily, my small acne breakouts don’t stand a chance!
