How did it feel on sensitive, dry skin?
Because my skin tends to be sensitive and dry, I consider both cleansing power and how my skin feels afterward when choosing a cleanser. Some mild low-pH products have felt lacking in cleansing power or left a slippery feeling, but this one felt relatively comfortable while washing.
After use, my skin felt less tight, and it felt fresh after rinsing without residue. Skin reactions and user experience can vary from person to person.
What were the lather and cleansing feel like?
Even a small amount created a rich lather, and the foam did not collapse easily. I could wash with soft foam, so it seemed to cause less friction on my skin.
I also tried cleansing with it alone on days when I wore sunscreen, and for me it left a clean, refreshing finish. The original product information states that it contains fine charcoal powder and showed 98% sunscreen cleansing in a test.
Does dryness or slipperiness remain after cleansing?
It is stated to contain seven-layer complex hyaluronic acid and Aqua Ceramide. After cleansing, my skin felt moisturized, as if a thin layer of moisture remained, but I did not notice much slipperiness.
It felt more comfortable than times when I rushed into skincare immediately after washing. The balance between moisture and freshness was the most impressive part of this product for me.
Who might it suit?
It may be worth considering if you want a gentle feel while also wanting a cleansing feel after oil and sunscreen use. On my sensitive, dry skin, I was pleased with the reduced tightness and the dense, bouncy lather.
