Overall Experience & Recommendation:

My skin is really oily and I did not expect this cleanser to work well. I started using it and I clearly noticed that it removes everything from skin and leaves skin really smooth and fresh looking. However, my skin becomes oily soon after I use it as it is not meant to be for oily skin type. But since I have a habit of using moisturizer before I go to bed, this cleanser works as a two in one product for me. 

I cannot tolerate skin care products with heavy fragrances and for my eyes this cleanser is really good as it does not contain any artificial fragrance, hence it does not irritate my eyes at all. Moreover, it works great removing tough eye makeup like waterproof liners and eye shadows applied over eye primer.

The only thing I had a problem with is due to its way too creamy texture, it dries up quickly and I have to add water more than usual to make it work properly. Sounds hectic? Not anymore. Most of the times, I put some amount in my palm and add a bit of water, then rub it all over my face like a face wash and rinse with tap water. Quick and works like a charm. You have washed your face, cleansed it  and applied a moisturizer all at one time. 

Overall, I am happy with this product. People with dry, sensitive and mature skin should really give it a try. It will keep your skin moisturized and lock in the necessary moisture.
