I love this cleanser, and that is saying something based on my past purchases. I am admittedly a skincare snob so I didn't have high expectations for this line of moderately priced products. The cleanser is hydrating without making my face greasy or dry. I love the texture and a little goes a long way. I turned 55 last year and I finally went to a dermatologist for the first time ever, and got a prescription retinol for some fine lines. Because of the prescription retinol, I had to stop using the other night time active ingredients I was using. I decided to use this as an opportunity to simplify my skincare regiment and wanted to find effective products without all of the irritating actives. Because of the moderate price point, I didn't have high expectations but I was wrong. I am Very Happy with this line of products.
