VERDICT

This is a nice cleanser. It does a great job of cleaning my face while still keeping it hydrated, soft, and smooth...BUT it's got menthol in it that gives you a minty tingly feeling, which I sort of have a love/hate relationship with. I do find that it is very refreshing and nice at first, but the tingle does have a bit of a kick to it and as the seconds pass it does start to get a bit irritating so buyer beware. Not that it's obnoxiously overpoweringly omg tingly, but it is quite strong and it does last for quite awhile. It doesn't dissipate right away, so maybe if you're someone with sensitive skin you might want to skip this.

Would I repurchase it? No. It's a pass for me because of the strong menthol. Maybe if it wasn't so strong, or if it dissipated right away after the initial "ahh that feels refreshing" moment, or if there was no menthol in this at all I would because it is a nice cleanser, but because of the strong menthol tingle I'm gonna have to pass. Also, if you're someone that is particular about the ingredients in their products you probably want to skip out on this one. Not the greatest list of ingredients.
