This is a light gel cleanser, yellow in colour, that turned quite runny upon contact with water. It has a citrus musty scent which I was not used to, initially but has grown accustomed to it. It suds slightly and is gentle for everyday usage.

Meant to be used as both a day and night cleanser, I realized that it is best used as a morning cleanser. When I used it as a night cleanser, after removing make-up, this cleanser left my skin taut and I have to follow up with a hydrating mask.

If I used it as a morning cleanser, it left my skin soft, smooth and supple. However, there were times that it left my skin slightly red around my nose.

It scored 3.5 from 4 users on Makeupalley.

Hi Meow,
Yes, Citrus acid itself may not be suitable for sensitive skin.

I am not overly fond of this cleanser, still much in love with my Dermalogica Cleanser but sadly, the original formula is no longer available.
