Intensely Irritating

I wanted to love this product, with it's pretty metallic pink tube, mild exfoliating feel, and promise of "cellualr renewal". Alas, after a few days of use, I ended up with red, inflamed patches on my face. I blamed it on a few other products I'd been using before finally tracing it to this cleanser. It took a week of using pore-clogging hydrocortisone cream to calm the rash down. That w...read moreas five months ago. I tried to use the cleanser once again, just the other day (to test if it was a temporary problem I was having), and that rash flared right back up. Perhaps for someone who doesn't have remotely sensitive skin (which I didn't, prior to using this), this might be a decent product.

Skin Genesis

I decided to give this a try after reading about it in a beauty blog. It really deep cleans and provides a light exfoliation but is too strong for my combo skin. My skin is left feeling dry and tight after I use it.

Good for combination/oily skin

What caught my attention about this product was the fact that thereâ€™s clay in it. Because clay is very purifying, I immediately thought, â€œscore!â€ Aside from the performance factor, it also makes this drugstore cleanser seem a little bit fancier. In addition to the clay, thereâ€™s also Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and micro-beads to exfoliate the surface of the skin. The scrubbi...read moreng factor is somewhat mild, but, combined with the BHA, itâ€™s definitely doing the job. While this cleanser doesnâ€™t foam too much, it definitely deep cleanses. It removes all of my makeup, breaks down any oil and leaves my skin feeling smooth, and even a tad dry. Despite the fact that my skin isnâ€™t sensitive at all, I get a warm sensation from the BHA during cleansing, but my skin does appear brighter. So for those who have normal to oily skin, try it, but those with sensitive or dry skin should skip it.

So far so good

I like this product it feels good going on and has something in it that helps clean my pores. I like it and it hasn't dryed out my face.
