    Love it

    I have enjoyed all of the Outset products that I've tried. This cleanser leaves my face feeling clean and I've noticed my skin is clearer.

    My skin feels so soft

    I love this whole set. My skin no longer gets itchy after I wash my face. My face has gotten so sensitive as I get older. And this does not hurt my skin.

    Efficient cleanser

    This cleanser is really great at removing makeup and dirt. It has a gel consistency that foams with the addition of water. The only complaint I have is it smells faintly medicinal. But I will repurchase because it does a great job.
