Great Oil Reducing Cleanser
This cleanser is great for reducing oil and build up on your face. It’s the perfect consistency, a clear semi-thick liquid, to spread and has a light refreshing scent. My face feels so refreshed after using it. After using the cleanser, I apply the La-Roche Posay Effaclar Mat moisturizer and this combination has shown me the best results in keeping the shine off my face throughout the day. The bottle was also much bigger than I thought, which is a great value for the price.
