I went through an obsessive skin care phase a few months back that left me with chemical burns from all of the acids and actives that I was using… now that I’ve stopped I’ve been really focused on rebuilding my skin barrier and using gentle products. This product has caused my skin to do a 180– I’ve always had skin on the drier end so I hated cleansing as it would strip my face of moisture, but that’s not a concern with this product.
