Like and dislike it
This cleanser definitely removes the oil off your skin, strips it actually. My skin is so dry after using this. I use the tonic spray afterwards and that is not enough. I also have to apply moisturizer afterwards. But it does clean and remove makeup and dirt. I would agree that it clears pores. But that is not a lasting effect of course. Just temporary. It says that it brings out your skins natural defenses against irritations and reactions. I dont know, how would I notice something like that? It does leave skin clean, clear and free of shine. The willow bark ingredient refines, unclogs and purifies pores. That is the purpose I wanted from it, was to unclog my pores. I have blackheads and have never found anything to get rid of them...this doesn't remove them but helps maintain.
