I'm going to start with the smell because I'm really sensitive to strong smells, I'm genuinely pleased by saying that it smells super nice, it's not strong at all but that doesn't mean that its lack of functions of cleaning my face. Actually, when I first put it on my face, it took some minutes to start to foam and to look like I got into a bubble-hairy face (in a funny way) and I absolutely ADORE it! my face is so much smoother and my pores are less visible! I highly recommend it
